Critical Necessities Americans Need To Do To Protect The Republic

We need to get term limits, but the most critical issue facing us this minute and into Biden's term, is getting an Article-V Amendment Proposal Convention by way of the States petitioning Congress for one. If the states ask Congress for an Article-V Congress must open it and step back. Congress can't make any amendment proposals. The people make those proposals through elected or appointed representatives to the convention.
Here are links to a Model Law on the books to set limits on representatives to an Article-V convention;
http://www.in.gov/apps/lsa/session/billwatch/billinfo?year=2013&session=1&request=getBill&docno=224 Indiana law describing the duties of a Delegate
http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2013/SE/SE0224.1.html "Duties of Delegates" Describing the Legal Restrictions the Legislature puts on them At the Convention.
I suggest that every State put something in place like this for future use.
The most critical proposal is the one Ted Cruz proposed for the Supreme Court. He proposed setting a Constitutional Limit on the Court's sitting Justices at 9, and their terms as Lifetime.Getting this amendment before the Democrats regain the upper hand and Pack the Court to force their agendas on America, is critical for the American Republic, and our Freedom/Liberty to survive.
If there was a States called Article-V Amendment Proposal Convention. Contrary to the lies put out by the powers that be, It would not be a Constitutional Convention. Every time it has come up in the past, Congress through their media contacts have used that fear to stop it. A Constitutional Convention can not be called during an Article-V because that issue is addressed by the Amendments provision within the Constitution. Amendments are the only legal Constitutional way to modify interpretations of the Constitution itself. Noting the Constitution itself is not modified, only the interpretations of it are modified.
Should there be an Article-V states called convention every proposal could be brought up at the convention. Then, following past practice, all proposals would have to be voted on and approved unanimously by the Convention Delegates, the exact wording would have to be agreed on, the proposals would be sent to Congress, and Congress send them out to the States for ratification.
In one fell swoop, the people could set the tone for America to follow. Term Limits, Supreme Court numbers, repeal the 17th and make Senators responsible to their States instead of their parties, Clarify the 2nd A, Repeal all government 2nd A restrictions on the books, forbid Government from placing restrictions on it like Age only with mutually agreed on restrictions by national vote of the people, end the 16th & IRS and go back to apportioned taxation, remove the three toxic words of the 14th (No State Shall) that flipped the power and control to the Federal government, end anchor babies, require picture voter ID, require yearly updating of voter roles, standardize election procedures etc.
Every protection for a States Called Convention would be exactly the same as if Congress called for one with the exception, "Congress could not propose any amendments during it" the ratification process would be the same, and it would be the people who decided how America should be governed, just as the Founders wanted it to be.
