Why would you like to repeal the 26th? IMO, if you old enough to kill and/or die for your country, you're old enough to vote for/against those who could be ordering you to do so. Same goes with drinking and similar things.

>3. Set a Balanced Budget Amendment

What would you think if the budget-balancing amendment read like this:
SECTION 1
Neither the Congress, nor the Judiciary, nor the Executive, nor any private corporation shall have the authority to regulate the value of money. The Dollar shall be equal in value to the weight of gold, of a purity not less than nine-hundred ninety-nine parts per thousand, of one hundredth of an ounce.

SECTION 2
Whereas the Congress may set the weights and measures of the country, the ounces of this amendment’s section 1 are the avoirdupois ounce, approximately equal to 28.34 grams.

SECTION 3
Every year the Treasury shall, under oath, make a true accounting of the gold physically within its repositories available to the Congress and also to the public. On conviction of violating that oath the Secretary of the Treasury shall be put to death.

SECTION 4
The United States Shall not enter into any debt which shall cause the total debts to exceed ten percent more than the physical gold on hand.

SECTION 5
Any taxation of income imposed by either the federal government or any state shall be of a uniform rate; no exception or credit shall ever be issued. No property shall ever be seized in any taxation dispute prior to conviction in a court of law.

Seems like this could be done with a Constitutional Convention. IT IS TIME.

Add to your list the 14th Amendment that allows Anchor Babies and make it retroactive!

Also 15,19 and 23.
