Apparently, FR has it’s own share of LIV (that’s low information voters for those of you in Rio Linda)...
There are more than enough threads on FR for you to educate yourself as to the Article V process, procedure, benefits & pitfalls...
If you haven’t noticed, the “living” constitution that has been created by the executive & judicial branches is what is killing the country. Voting alone WILL NO LONGER solve the ails of the country. It is going to take STRUCTURAL changes to the constitution via amendments (repeal of the 17th and term limits to start) to right the ship and it will take HARD work and patience.
Regardless of any of this, Jacquerie works TIRELESS hours both on and off of FR to promote and educate for Article V. Rather than “Working the other side”, give us some of those ideas from the “other side” and let’s see your SOLUTIONS...
I know where I’m throwing my support because here are your options...
1) Article V Convention to propose amendments
2) State Nullification
3) Secession
4) CW2
The founders included Article V for the times they knew would be coming and THEY ARE HERE! Based on my readings, they would be SHOCKED that states had not already called a convention...
You can work for it ... and I’ll work against it. We’ll see who ends up persuading people on it.
1) Article V Convention to propose amendments
2) State Nullification
3) Secession
4) CW2
That's pretty much how I see it too. Time to go full bore for Article V. If that's hijacked then down the list.
Most FReepers are aware of these links, but I post anyway for review and for people new to Article V. It is our responsibility to make Article V the most understood aspect of the US Constitution.
The longer we wait, the bigger the risk of nullification, secession or outright civil war.
