If you have a Constitution, yet Congress ignores it, do you still have rights? If you are losing your rights, what are you going to do to get them back?
The game of U.S. politics is played by a set of rules called the Constitution. These rules were intended to be followed by three competing branches of power: the legislative, the executive, and the judicial.
What can you and I do about Congress when it ignores the Constitution to achieve objectives that don’t benefit us, the people?
Knowing that the thirst for power always leads to tyranny, the American Founders added safeguards against the totalitarian impulse by vesting most of the power to govern with the states.
Today, Congress syphons power away from the states in order to hand it over to the President. What can you and I do about this overreach?
Congress has also all but done away with their only legislative requirement: to pass a budget. Instead, they simply authorize trillions in spending, using so-called omnibus bills. What can you and I do to restore a Congress that respects its constituents and does not overspend their money?
The media have become stenographers for the ruling elites that run Congress. Congress ought to be made uncomfortable by the media. Instead, the media provide cover for congressional overreaches that plunder, restrict, and divide the country. What can you and I do promote serious, hard-hitting journalism?
Well then, how about social media? In the too often-quoted words of Joe Biden: “C’mon, man!” Congress has carved out exceptions for social media, allowing big tech to fashion itself as either platform or publisher depending on who it needs to promote or if it instead wishes to censor, silence, and do away with undesirable voices.
What can you and I do convince social media that, in the spirit of American ideals, it needs to allow and respect all voices?
Who is going to do all this?
Quite simply and powerfully: it’s you, it’s me. It’s the lady or gentleman who has a family, kids, aging parents, one or more jobs, and commitments to sports leagues, churches, and civic groups.
It’s you, fellow patriot. You have to do the work. I have to do the work. I’ll help you as others are helping me. We are taking our country back from a Congress that ignores the Constitution. We are doing by using the Constitution’s Article V. We are going to hold a convention of states.
Don’t get overwhelmed. We have a plan, we have a movement. You just need to plug in and do some work. Read up on it here and take on the challenge. Join us. We must win.
