    Article V convention of States to propose amendments

    I will post some news from time to time:

    LEGISLATIVE NEWS

    Our legislation to call a Convention of States to limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government has been filed in 23 states in 2018 alone.

    Here's the latest news:
    • Polling conducted in West Virginia revealed that 70% of WV voters support COS. That includes 76% of Republicans and 65% of Democrats. Talk about a mandate!
    • Polling conducted in Nebraska revealed that 66% of Nebraska voters support COS, including 79% of Republicans and 53% of Democrats.
    • We hope to see floor votes soon in the Kansas Senate and Iowa Senate. Stay tuned for news!
    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.

    What’s funny is the Dems always wanting more federal government. So stupid. Just shows a lack of understanding on how this country was set up to work.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    To put that in perspective, Donald Trump won the presidency with about 63 million votes.

    In other words, secession has more support from Americans than either presidential candidate did in the 2016 election.

    Let’s put it in even more perspective...more than 3 million people voted for someone other than the current POTUS, but due to the constitution and laws in place, it doesn’t matter. That same metric applies to those seeking to secede.
    “Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”

    The poll didn't say people who voted in the 2016 election. It is still a long way from a majority. it also would never get 38 states to approve the amendment.. Blue states would never go along with this.

    I'm not really opposed to this but the whole thing seems to be an imaginary story.

    No, you are comparing two different things. A Convention of States could pass whatever it wanted to pass. If 38 states agree then it is the amended Constitution.

    Convention of States Resolution

    New Poll: West Virginia voters overwhelmingly favor Convention of States resolution

    Published in Blog on March 05, 2018 by Garrett Humbertson

    Mark Blankenship Enterprises conducted a statewide poll of 1,359 likely West Virginia voters on February 24-26, measuring support for the West Virginia teacher’s strike, President Trump, Congressional approval and the Convention of States Project. Republicans, Democrats and Independents were part of this survey.

    West Virginia is ready to join other states in calling an Article V convention.

    Almost three-fourths of respondents (70%) favor West Virginia calling for a convention of states to propose constitutional amendments that limit federal spending, limit federal power, and establish term limits for Congress and/or federal judges.

    https://conventionofstates.com/news/...tes-resolution

    This is good news. We need the Convention of States to succeed in creating a small number of Amendments to give teeth to the Constitution.
