As law abiding Americans we must be ready to defend our Freedoms and Liberties by insuring the debacle of the Biden Administration can not so quickly change laws, regulations, and rulings again. We need to stand up united and order our State Legislatures to petition Congress for an Article-V amendment convention.

 

I know there are those of us who are set on a Convention of States as the way to go, but it has no traction over the 14 States which have ascribed to it. The divisiveness the controversy of Article-V as a convention or a convention of States must end right now because it serves no purpose except for our political enemies to have complete conmtrol over our lives as they have shown during the first year of the Biden administration.

 

The Convention of States believe that 3/4 of the States putting forth an amendment that is worded exactly the same will automatically create a Constitutional Amendment. It will not because the proposal must be submitted to Congress and Congress must officially send it out to all 50 States for the ratification process. This is clarified by the exact wording of the Article " when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress". When Congress calls a convention, Congress decides how it will be ratified not if there is a "Convention of States" to propose an amendment.  That is codified in Article-V of the Constitution. Several things are the same between a Convention of States which is a relatively recent concept, and the Traditional Amendment Convention process. Normally Congress creates amendment proposals and sends them out to the States for Ratification. Congress must first agree on the exact wording of an Amendment, (just like a states called for Article-v amendment convention or a convention of states proposal must do). Once that is done, the amendment must be sent out to all 50 states for ratification. When States propose an Article-V convention, Congress must call a convention and then step back and let the States decide what will be proposed. THIS IS NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION!

 

We need to get these amendments locked in to protect our Freedoms and the Constitution.

1. Only Nine Justices on the supreme Court Bench.

2. In addition to the 2nd Amendment, all existing firearms and weapons laws, regulations, and executive orders, including any new proposals for laws regulations executive orders, must be approved by a 3/4 vote of the public.

3. Any Supreme Court Decision can be overridden by the 7/8 vote of the 'voting' public in a presidential election year.

4. Elections must be carried out with paper ballots, and those ballots must be held for 5 years then be copied to an unalterable recording medium to be held for historical reference thereafter.

5. Voters rolls must be erased and citizens must show up personally to re-register to vote, get picture I.D., and be entered on the new voter rolls with the exception of handicapped or elderly persons who can not travel to county clerks offices. A special detail, from County Clerks offices will be created to go to those handicapped people or elderly and verify them and take their picture for I.D. there, to issue Voter I.D. Voter rolls must be cross checked yearly and updated with death records and USPS addresses to verify those on the rolls are still living in that area. A fine of $100,000 dollars per incident and $50,000 dollars per person found not residing at their listed address, will be assessed to the County Clerks offices for failure to comply to that rule.

6. Absentee Ballots will not be issued unless the persons requesting them either come into the clerks office to originally request one with their proper I.D. or if not able to make the trip have a county clerk employee go to their residence to verify them for abnsentee ballots.

7. Same Day registrations, Motor Voter registrations Bundling will be outlawed. Amny person who has lost their Picture I.D. may vote, but those votes will be sequestered like any mail in vote, until that person can be verified as a legitimate voter.

 

The amount of Amendments needed will not be amenible to the proposed Convention of States because of the unwieldy amount of work necessary to get all of them proposed in the exact agreed on language within a reasonable time frame. However an Article-V convention with designated delegates from the various states charged with creating amendments will work within a reasonable time frame. Delegates will be required to be under direct control of their Legislatures and those Legislatures will determine the parameters of descretion the delegates are allowed in the course of their duties.
