Chicken Little is a famous children’s book character. When an acorn fell from above and hit him on the head, he falsely concluded the sky was falling and raced to tell everyone their world was coming to an end.
Chicken Little is portrayed as a self-centered, yellow-belly coward who presumed the worst possible outcome without considering all the facts. Then, he loudly broadcast these irrational fears due to his false perception of self-importance to society before realizing his shameful error.
The Boy Who Cried Wolf is another popular children’s book. In this story, a boy amuses himself by telling people about a wolf sighting. Eventually people determine these claims are false, so they ignore the boy.
When the boy is finally confronted by a real wolf, nobody believes his claims, and he is eaten. The boy who cried "Wolf!" thought it was fun to scare people by lying about danger.
It is unfortunate as a society when too many are influenced by warnings of danger, creating a self-sustaining cycle of fear. We are taught early in life that making dire predictions about the life and health of society in ignorance is just plain wrong.
We are taught that spreading false information reduces an individual’s credibility in a way that also hurts the ability of society to identify legitimate threats before harm occurs.
We should all take a moment to reflect on the realization there are many in the establishment who never learned anything from either of these stories. There is good reason to ignore them.
Our Constitution only works when We the People stand up to defend it. Cowards have conceded too many areas with irrational fear when it mattered most.
There are bullies who take advantage of these situations to increase the power of the federal government. The very same cowards who caused these problems now irrationally fear a Convention of States under Article V of our Constitution, while the bullies refuse to do anything that doesn’t benefit them personally as they profit from their civil servant positions.
I urge you to join the Convention of States movement to limit the power and scope of our federal government. Our goal is to hold an Article V convention where each state gets one vote for each amendment proposed.
Presuming there is agreement by enough states, the amendment proposals will be transmitted to every state legislature where 38 states must agree before being added to the U.S. Constitution.
