John Thomas notes, and rightly so, that if there is a real need for another amendment to an already perfectly clear document, then it is the job of the legislators to bring it before Congress, work out the detasil in no unclear terms, and then submit it to the people.

Then, we need to be absolutely certain that we elect Congressmen and Senators who will not stand by with their thumbs inserted, the better to swivel with, who will hold out also out of control United States Supreme Court from stripping our rights away in the name of some special interest groups, such as the gun haters, the abomination lovers, and the outright stuoid ones who reject the very foundation upon which the Forefathers built this Christian nation.

Put the power back into the family. Put the power back into the Church the Peter built for Christ, and put the Power back into the people to tell the government, be it the administrative branch, the legislative branch, OR the judicial branch, to get their corrupt noses out of the people’s business, be it educational, be it a matter of free speech, be it a matter of the right to possess and bear firearms (the Constitution does nor make any distinction as to what brand, caliber, or any other factor, or even prior conviction for any crime whatever . . . once a felon has served his court mandated penalty, he is supposed to be released and not strapped with a label of ex-convict for the rest of his life; if he screws up again, lock his hinnie back up for a few times longer and make his life utterly miserable for all the time the fool has bought for himself).

Probably the two things that need to be done the most is, No. 1. Make it very damned clear to politicians that holding political office is not a career; thet they ARE NOT our leaders; that they are indeed elected public servants and they can either act like it or be held to recall [stating unequivocally that being recalled is mandatorily grounds for criminal prosecution], and No. 2. The nationwide setting of Term Limitations on the holding of politcal office at a maximum of twenty-four year and any and all levels of government with a maximum of twelve years at any one position.

Right now, possibly No. 2, above and certainly the necessary corrections to the Eligibility Conditions provision are the only two things that need to be considered on the Amendment question. If a little boy has to show his birth cirtificate to0 play Little League baseball, then the fool who wants to be president needs to show a whole lot more besides.

As for the marriage question, if the people would insist that the government, from puke-mopper-upper in the Congressional Lounge to the yahoos in black on the federal benches would get their noses out of the peoples businnes on the matter of the Church, which is the entire intent of the First Amendment (to keep the government’s nose totally and forever out of the matters of religion and any so-called exclusionary clause be damned)and gave religious rights back to the people and their churches, the matter of marriage would revert to the church, where it belongs (marriage is a sacred institution belonging to God) and the government would loose one more tax on religion - the marriage License is a government tax on marriage).

I could go on and on, but I think you begin to get my point. Whether you do or not depends, of course, on whether you are a beffuddled fool following a fantastic fallacy, or you are an honest and realistic thinker. You ARE one or the other, by your own choice.

The Constitution does NOT allow a constitutional convention or a con-con; however, the Constitution does allow an Article V Convention. According to Article V of the U.S. Constitution, Congress is mandated to call a convention upon application of 34 states. Over 750 applications have been submitted by all 50 states, but Congress refuses to call a convention, criminally defying the Constitution itself. One could say Congress is an ongoing criminal enterprise based on their refusal of obey their oath of office.

Millions upon millions of TRUE Americans need to get focused on getting Congress to call a convention — an Article V Convention, NOT a constitutional convention or a con-con — for “We The People…” to successfully take command of the Republic. Arguing about petty disagreements, allowing Congress to continue their criminal behavior just gives them the upper hand.

Once Congress has called a convention they’re out of the picture. State Legislators in each state set an election of delegates in motion — completely transparent to the public and independent of the federal government. The potential amendments are written, refined and polished — then submitted for ratification by 75% of the states (38 states). The proposed amendments that make it through this incredibly difficult process, become new amendments to the U.S. Constitution. This is governance by and for the people as our Forefathers planned, fought and bled.

Now, do your duty as TRUE Americans and go to these two websites and read and study the contents — knowledge is critically important.

You have nothing to fear except fear itself.

Feeble-minded Americans trust Congress.

Congress takes their money.

The net result was runaway inflation which Carter got the undeserved blame for. In addition the Arab Oil Cartel sent us a hardball with organized reduction in output. It drove prices through the roof and made for lines at gas pumps and a limit to 5 gallons per customer. It was rediculous.

Think about it: the citizens of Arabia can’t eat oil!

What was the problem with us making them just as dependent on us for food as we are on them for oil. If we had any sense, we would have made a deal along the lines of 1 tanker of crude = 1 load of grain. They could line those tankers with protective polyethelene liners and filled them with grains on the return voyage.

It’s too stinking simple and we are too kind to make them dependent, but they are hard nosed bargainers. They could understand the program, IF we had the political courage to impose it.

Where was the American brain and where is it now?

Here we are with troops protecting them from Terrorists today. If Oliver Stone was right in “W” (and I think he was), the basis of our attacks on Iraq was more about it being the locus of the majority of the world’s oil, than being so much a harbinger of Terrorists.

What has happened since?

Are our costs for crude lower? NO!!!!

Are the oil boys, who were running the Executive branch of government in the US then, still more in control of prices than the Arabs?

I think so!!!

Why is diesel 20% higher than regular gas when it comes off the refinery 20% sooner than unleaded gas?

Nothing effects the price of goods in America more than the price of oil to transport it / make plastics / asphault / etc.! We are fools not to recognize the relationship of crude to what we pay for groceries and transport. We are fools to let the railroads fall apart when they can efficiently transport goods far better than highway transport!

I smell colusion and manipulation as fuel prices climb along with home heating oil which is also used in the production of electricity.

Is any citizen stupid enough to believe a hike in Arab crude which takes several weeks to transport is instantly translated to higher prices at the pump? This is ALWAYS the “reason” when climbing prices are announced. It should be at least a month between an Arab announcement of a price hike and when we see it tranlate to prices here in the US.

What is wrong with us tapping our reserves and becoming independent of a Cartel meeting overseas?

It is all a bunch of circular reasoning and empty explaining to just make the Oil Boys in America richer than they have ever been in the past. How does Mobil have record profits, yet the investors loose money?

We are being had. We have been had for years since 1970. There is no logical explaination for it and–Why has not Congress held hearings for the Oil Executives to explain this to the public via CNN / C-Span / etc.

We are nothing but kind-hearted fools!

And why, pray tell, has the news been so much on Haiti this last week?? The real story was the Financial Industry leaders being called in to Congress for hearings on the outlandish bonuses being given Executives and workers throughout an industry us taxpayers kept from going under 3 years ago!

We are paying the bills with money not backed by gold. Announcements this week tell, once more, how the dollar is falling against world currencies as we continue to counterfeit the dollar without gold to back it!

Why? Why??? Why???????

America is gushing blood from the Treasury by the second.

And our gutless wonders can’t even start a discussion?

Taxpayer approval of spending is still winning the day.

Now we will find out. Is Mr. McCain a Patriot or a Communist?

I do hereby humbly beseech thee!

For the good of this country, sir!

Propose taxpayer proposal of spending.

Sir!

But the blood continues to flow from the Treasury.

Will one, nay one, Senator or Congressman stand up for the people?

Will one, nay one, propose taxpayer approval of spending?

The people grow restless, and have legal means at our disposal.

When Congress steals from Americans, we need a way to remove them from office, IMMEDIATELY.

I suppose the counter-argument would be that we voted them in. And they can do whatever they want with the Treasury.

And to that I can only say that this is the Internet Age. And we can petition our State Legislatures to change the Constitution. Elections held April 15.

Our government is providing no leadership.

The American people have one request: taxpayer approval of spending.

I can’t speak for all Tea Partiers. But I personally welcome the Left, Center, and Right.

I am happy with depending on my representatives to figure it out and keep me informed.
—————-
I agree that there will be more debate on this issue.

However, the snowball is rolling.

The media wants taxpayer approval. The president wants taxpayer approval. Taxpayers want taxpayer approval.

You, of course, will be 100% free to do things the old way. Just vote to agree with all spending proposed by Congress, for two years at a time. And we’ll even give you the freedom to override for specific votes. Assuming that you paid $200 in taxes last year. Or whatever amount Americans decide on.
