The corrupt decision-makers in D.C. will stop at nothing to retain their power and control over We the People.
The misinformation circulating about Article V and Convention of States Action was disseminated for a reason: it is a scare tactic perpetrated by the elites to maintain the status quo. They must keep us divided to succeed. Their biggest fear is a united, well-informed electorate.
That is precisely the reason Convention of States Action was formed. Our mission is to build the largest, most engaged army of self-governing activists in history.
The Framers trusted us to do our civic duty. Under our system of government, the people have the responsibility to stay informed and hold government officials accountable.
Unfortunately, for far too long, many have abdicated that responsibility.
With all this confusing and conflicting information everywhere, how are you to determine what is true and, more importantly, what is false? After all, 99.99% of us are not constitutional scholars.
Accept the responsibility given to you by the Framers; resolve to educate yourself. Trust this vital task to no one. Your children’s and grandchildren’s futures depend on you learning the truth.
When I was in school and taught how to properly research a topic, I was told to list the experts on both sides of the issue, go to the library, and read their books and essays on the subject.
I was taught to look for the reasons these authors made their conclusions. Did they properly annotate the document with footnotes from the historical record backing up their conclusions? Were they fair? Did they discuss opposing points of view and provide footnotes?
I was taught to put more weight on peer-reviewed articles. Lastly, what is the author’s reputation among his peers? Do they rely on their research?
Does the author have a volume of work published by peer-reviewed journals? That is the best way to determine their reputation. If their work is shoddy or their conclusions skeptical, prominent journals will not publish it.
One such scholar is Robert G. Natelson. Professor Natelson taught constitutional law for 25 years at three different universities and presently is a Senior Fellow of Constitutional Jurisprudence at the Independence Institute in Denver.
Professor Natelson is a nationally recognized constitutional scholar and author. His treatises on the historical and legal meaning of the Constitution have been cited repeatedly at the U.S. Supreme Court, federal appeals courts, and state Supreme Courts.
His work has been referenced in briefs prepared by parties involved in the litigation, as well as in the decisions rendered by justices of those courts. He is widely acknowledged by his peers as the country’s leading scholar on the Constitution’s amendment process and among the leaders on many other topics.
How can Convention of States Action confidentially assert the Article V convention process is safe and will operate the way we say it will? Because Professor Natelson has drawn those conclusions from his years of research on the subject.
Professor Natelson’s conclusions are quite different than the taradiddle the elites are spinning.
Under Article V, there are two ways to amend the Constitution.
In the first clause, Congress has the authority to propose amendments.
Do you think Congress will propose amendments to limit its power? Remember it takes a super-majority to approve any proposed changes. Can we get two-thirds of them to agree on anything?
The Founders knew this day would come, and Col. George Mason insisted we have an alternative method. The Framers approved the second clause of Article V unanimously, with no debate. It was self-evident that the government would never vote to limit themselves.
Based on the professor’s work, there are facts the elite don't want you to know.
There is a difference between a "Constitutional Convention" and an Article V convention for proposing amendments. The commissioners are appointed by the state legislatures, not Congress, and will not have plenipotentiary (full) powers.
Other safeguards include:
- Two-thirds (34) state legislatures must propose aggregable resolutions to call the convention.
- The commissioners must adhere to the resolution passed by their legislature. If they attempt to insert something else, they will be gaveled out of order.
- Most importantly, any amendment to the Constitution proposed at the convention only becomes adopted once ratified by 38 states.
Here is where the rubber meets the road. You need to prove to yourself these are the facts. Are you ready to accept the responsibility given to you by our Founders?
I hope so. Our futures depend on you.
