“Obama has set executive precedents that no election can erase.”

Absolutely. The Ruling Class has been playing a shell game with us for over a decade. One shell is Boner. Is the pea under that one? No. Another shell is the Establishment GOP nominee who can only win through crossover primary votes. Is that the shell with the pea? No. Then there’s the ‘Third Party Protest Vote’ shell. It was tried with Ross Perot and earlier with Teddy R’s ‘Progressive Party’. Both times it split the anti-leftist vote. The third empty shell.

The few times we elect a Ronald Reagan fail to erase all the other times that someone keeps pointing at an empty shell. People keep voting according to their rules. We need to break this cycle before something unalterable happens, such as comprehensive insani-gration. Then it will be too late. Maybe not the same as the Vandals scaking Rome, but the end result will be a new Dark Ages.

If three fourth of the states sell us down the river, we’re doomed anyway. What exactly will save us from the super-majority?

IV league intelligencia runs the Ruling Class. I think they are far more concentrated in DC than in 3/4th of state capitals. So if DC dictates the convention, I would then agree with you. That’s the argument boiled down.

We are definitely on that path but remember history shows us that all chains are breakable. Granted it takes longer to break some chains than others.

Well said. Our oppressors, the uniparty intend to invite the Roman equivalent of barbarian hordes.

"Obama has set executive precedents that no election can erase."

Is is going to take a long and diligent effort to undo what the department of education has done to dumb down our population to the point it is today.

True, but we're entering uncharted territory in this advanced technological age. Governments will soon have levels of power over individuals that despots of old could only dream of. Powers that aren't so easily defeated with mere rifles.

I hope to God that our people don't look back in some future decade and wish that they'd used their rifles while they could still do some good.

Well said Jacquerie.

Research links on the Article V process and the Liberty Amendments:

Convention of States - Alabama Way to go Alabama! A good introduction.

'Convention of states' to rein in government? Another great summary explanation.

The Case for an Article V. Convention. Fantastic explanation of Article V convention to the Mass State Legislature.

I would recommend watching the above three videos first and then:

Let’s all work together to get this going.

The Federal Government is broken. We owe it to The Founders and ourselves to attempt a rational Article V amendment process.

I listened to a couple hours of radio for the first time in months last Friday and was pleasantly surprised by something:

Hannity said that the Liberty Amendments movement is picking up steam. God bless you guys!

The easiest group to brainwash are young men ...

Look at the men who died in Benghazi... I’m sure those SEALS were surprised no one came to their aid.

Can’t count on our military if they’re under the control of goons...

Good to hear that. I recall Rush mentioning it as well this past week.

Perhaps there really is a building groundswell of opposition. We're beginning to hear from quarters not previously known to be concerned with executive overreach.

I watched Jonathan Turley’s testimony to a congressional panel. The rats were drop jaw surprised the big lib Turley so much as said Obama was maneuvering the presidency toward arbitrary, despotic rule.

Even if every man and woman in uniform was a mind controlled robot (and they aren't), how is that relevant to the fact that armed citizens in this country outnumber the military almost 100 to 1?

Sounds to me like you've embraced fear, and are inviting me to do the same. I have no reason to fear anything with the odds stacked in the people's favor like they are.

Considering where we are, I have no fear as to where an amendment convention could possibly take us.

That statement should be on a TEA shirt...

If an Article V convention for proposing amendments were to go “wrong” -or- “out of control”, then ANY amendment proposal would have to be ratified by 3/4 (38) states. If we don’t have 13 states to say NO, then we are already doomed to extinction...

When a GOP president in future does same thing Zero has done with Executive Orders, he will be taken to the woodshed by the MSM real fast.

A ‘national media’ profits from a ‘national government’.
So it builds one.

No constitution can stand against a consolidated media that controls the public square.
“Who speaks for the Constitution?” It doesn’t matter: his words will not be broadcast.
