All right. I looked this up.

You can call a convention if 38 states (3/4ths) call for it.

We had one. In the 1700s. There have been calls for another since then. In 1947, in the 1960s, 2011 there was a movement started as well.

Many states have called for an Article V convention (to control the budget).

I'm posting this, because I received this in the mail from a friend of mine; retired Chief Master Sergent. He's a good man, and stands firmly with me on "Gun Control" - that is, "gun control is hitting your target".

In 2000 he helped me form an organization called MinuteMan2000 - which was a short lived militia group (because we rapidly were infiltrated by everyone from Leftist assholes, to government spooks; talk about 'setting up a honeypot' LOL!)

So, I am sure he has gone through and thought this through.

This is what Mark Levine has been talking about--a constitutional convention by the states to get back to the laws of the Constitution.
This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on. This is an idea that we need to address.


35 STATES SO FAR...AND GROWING
One message to forward!

Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.

This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on.

For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Their latest stunt is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that they passed ... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite ruling class that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.

If each person that receives this will forward it on to 15 people, in three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators, Representatives of Congress; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States..."

You are one of my original 15. Please keep this going.
Of course, I don't see this happening, and I'm not entirely sure these days I want anyone to start one, and certainly am not sure I WANT anything that might come out of one. After all, if we want an amendment to the Constitution, it can be done in other ways. But, I sure as hell don't want anyone to "represent" me. I'll represent MYSELF in this country. I can, I will and I have the duty and RIGHT to do so.

I won't vote for anyone to stand in my stead.

Any thoughts from the rest of you on a Constitutional Convention?
