Article V ping!

[freeangel]

33 states and getting closer! Wahooo!

[Vinnie]

"There's a lot of unhappiness out there, on both sides, about out-of-control spending in Washington, mandates Washington makes on states, bureaucracy and so forth," Arnold said

He's a Dim.

The 'spending' concern is a Straw Man argument.

The real prize is 2nd Amendment.

[Crazieman]

Or comprehend...

[myself6]

Anyone else think its a monumentally BAD Idea to let the same F’ers who are responsible for corrupting the Federal Government, get involved in the effort to fix the corruption they caused?!

We either have the numbers to do it WITHOUT the socialist bastards or we shouldn’t do it...

[SatinDoll]

I DO NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL; WE CAN ADD AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION NOW.

WE DON’T NEED AN ARTICLE V CONVENTION THAT POLITICIANS CAN DOMINATE.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

This just doesn't add up...

State Sen. Jim Arnold, D-LaPorte: "There's a lot of unhappiness out there, on both sides, about out-of-control spending in Washington, mandates Washington makes on states, bureaucracy and so forth."

These things make the heart of any Democrat flutter with joy. I think he's an agent provocateur, an infiltrator sent to learn what the enemy is planning. Throw him out! Or, at a minimum, make him forswear the Democrat party and join the Tea Party under penalty of death.

Here's my proposal for an amendment to be considered by the convention:

"Every Representative and Senator who votes for a bill which increases the federal debt, and which passes and subsequently becomes federal law, will be assessed .001% of the amount of the increase, to be paid from his or her personal funds (not from any government-designated fund for such payments). Conversely, every Representative and Senator who votes for a bill which decreases the federal debt will be paid .001% of the amount of the decrease."

This would give them each some "skin in the game." Make increasing the debt hurt, and make decreasing it rewarding.

[Lazamataz]

However, because an Article V convention never has been called, there are no clear procedures on how it would begin, what rules the convention would follow or whether it could be limited in scope.

This is going to be a cluster f***.

The DemonicCrats don't even obey written law. Imagine a wide open field. Good bye 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 10th Amendment.

The left has wanted this for a long time, in the end we will be ruled by tyrants and our beloved constitution will be torn to shreds.

They will remove the 2nd amendment, free speech will be gone.

[stockpirate]

“You won’t need the 2nd amendment until they try to take it away from you.” Jefferson

“A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to obtain or preserve their liberty deserve the tyrants that rule them” me

The ObamaFascists will have their standing army before this, the DemocrratFascists have already indicated they will R U L E us with an iron fist.

We had our last free election when Bush was elected for his second term, but just barely, they almost stole that one.

[Political Junkie Too]

There sure is a lot of concern on this thread. More right out of the gate than I'm used to seeing.
