    You know I have doubts it will ever happen. I have even greater dounts that 38 states will do much.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation

    If the Convention of States Project fails we have no further Constitutional methods to save the nation. It will fall after a long civil war. I did what I could. Alabama signed on in 2015.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    1 thru 7 have merit, #8 is just sour grapes/jealousy, besides, Saban can't live forever.
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.
