The constitution gives the states the power to reign in an out of control federal government; so why isn't it being done?
Ten states now have taken the first step toward limiting the power of the federal government. Officials from Arizona, Massachusetts, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, South Carolina, Virginia and Wyoming have filed resolutions calling for a convention of states that would propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution with the express purpose of limiting the power and jurisdiction of the federal government. Governor Bobby Jindal has thrown in his support for an “Article V. Convention of States. http://www.conventionofstates.com/governor_bobby_jindal_endorses_the_convention_of_states_project
Article V. of our Constitution gives the states the power to call such a convention for the purpose of amendments by the states, and the constitution stays in place during the process.
“The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, 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.”
Mark Meckler, president of Citizens for Self-Governance, co-founded CSG’s Convention of States Project, which is currently working to convince the necessary 34 state legislatures to pass bills calling for a convention of states.

Meckler said that, in addition to the 10 states that have already filed, he expects another 15 to 20 states to file resolutions for a convention in the next few weeks “We will have legislation introduced in enough states to get to 34,” Meckler said.

The need for the states to limit federal power did not suddenly arise overnight. A convention of states should have been held years ago. However people are only now beginning to understand the power that Article V. gives the states.
If the states can agree to have a convention, they should be able to agree on some amendments as well. Two things I would personally like the convention to do – impose term limits on all federal offices of all three branches, and give states the power to repeal federal laws by a majority of states; the number of states required to be established by the amendment, and last but not least reaffirm the requirement for an intrinsic backed currency system.
The FEC has ruled in favor of those who support and are working for an Article V. Convention of States to be called by the states.
I have been conducting research on our U.S. Constitution, along with the supporting Constitutions of the 50 States of the Union.
What I have discovered so far, is that a Constitutional Convention might be called for, along with a Special Prosecutor and a Full Congressional Investigation into the Elections of 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016, and of course, the 9/11 Coup Conspiracy, including the attacks on New York City and the Pentagon, which could have been orchestrated by the CIA.
The Special Prosecutor and subsequent Congressional Reports and Investigation could clear-up a lot of the mysterious allegations of wrong-doing by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and others, including Hillary Clinton, Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama.
And, the proposed Constitutional Convention could allow us to fix what's wrong with our government. Direct Democracy is an exciting new idea, that could modernize our government, and return the power to the people, by modernizing our democratic republic. And, 27 of the states already have it. If the federal government had it, we would have been able to Recall both Bush and Obama, when they became insensitive to the needs and will of the people of the United States.
One of the best parts of this idea is that there are several dynamic new subject areas for newly proposed Constitutional Amendments, including: Election Reform, Judicial and Prison Reform, Land Reform, BLM Reform, Marijuana Reform, Budget Reform, Tax Reform, Medical Reform, establishing Women's Rights to Safe Housing and increasing the powers of the Civil Rights Movement, which would include establishing protections from overly zealous police and government agents, and establishing additional protections against racism, while empowering the existing Civil Rights Act, to enable a new, higher level of government interaction with its citizens. Currently, the Civil Rights Act is almost useless, because the rich and unethical have created too many loopholes within the law created by Congress in the 1960s. And, this is also true of our entire legal system, where both the individual states and the federal government have thousands of obsolete and conflicting laws which need to be reviewed, updated, and innovated with creative new ideas, in order to modernize our existing legal system.
For this reason, I would like your feedback.
Who would be interested in petitioning the 50 States of the Union, for a Constitutional Convention, that could be combined to operate concurrently with a Special Prosecutor and a Full Congressional Investigation into the mysterious allegations surrounding the George W. Bush Administration, including the elections of 2000, and 2004, and a possible Coup by the CIA, along with Bush and Cheney, which could explain what happened following 9/11/2001?
Therefore, there are two types of responses to this Blog. One, the Constitutional Convention and its subject ares for future Constitutional Amendments, and Two, the request for a Special Prosecutor and a Full Congressional Investigation into the possible illegal involvement of the CIA into the elections of 2000 and 2004, along with the allegations of hoax, as far as the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks.
Could this help the citizens of the United States solve our problems with corruption and illegal activities by high-level government officials?
Since the 1950’s and the end of the cold war, the United States has had listening posts that trapped and recorded phone conversations of people and governments around the world. My brother worked at a facility outside of Miami, Florida on an island doing just that for RCA under a military contract in the 1980’s.
He once told me that they intercepted every phone call made in the Western Hemisphere north of a certain geographic location. He also said that he believed that this violated the United States Constitution. After many phone conversations, I convinced him to follow his conscience and find another job. He took my advice.
The listening post still collects internet and phone traffic from the Western Hemisphere.
In direct violation of the Fourth Amendment of the United States, the president has continued to wage an imaginary war against Al Qeda which is a creation of the CIA.
Having viewed over 180 videos of 9/11 and read hundreds of pages of data, some of which were highly classified, I have constructed the following scenario of events that I believe are very accurate.
Wanting to take control of the Iraqi oil fields and to carve them up under various contracts, George Bush Jr., Dick Cheney, and members of a secret NSA staff organization developed a plan to stage an invasion of the United States and blame that staged invasion on a rogue element of a Muslim CIA operation that had assisted them in fighting in Afghanistan.
Enter Al Qeda as the figmented and imaginary terrorist organization. Osama Bin Laden was a CIA operative and was funded by the NSA until he became a liability and threatened to expose 9/11 and its inside actors.
Claiming that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)’s was easy. It was well known that Russia, China, and Iran had been supplying Iraq with weapons, including chemical weapons for years. Iraq never had nuclear weapons with the exception of those sold to it by these countries.
The connection between Iraq and the imaginary “Al Qeda” needed to be made to implement stage two of Cheney and Bush’s plan to invade Iraq and carve up the oil fields.
The WMD’s however were never found as three weeks before the invasion of Iraq, the WMD’s were moved by truck into Russia where they still sit. How do I know this? I have over the years had long conversations with many high level personnel, and have done due diligence research.
The coverup began when the discovery was made that there was no connection between Iraq and the imaginary Al Qeda. The “invasion” of the World Trade Center was an inside job and Thomas Hayden authorized it. He is still covering it up today.
Now, we have an imaginary enemy which might strike us from anywhere, the question must be asked (if you don’t know that the enemy is imaginary) “How do we defend ourselves?” How do we protect ourselves from being found out as traitors to the United States of America that started an illegal war, that killed thousands of our own citizens, killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens, and instituted an illegal, unconstitutional program of surveillance of every person on the entire planet?” “How do we get away with this?”
Dick Cheney and Addington, his attorney drafted a document that improperly applied the president’s war powers, in a war that he himself and Dick Cheney and the NSA had begun against the imaginary Al Qeda, giving the president unlimited power to violate the First and Fourth Amendmen rights of every citizen of the United States of America.
We know that the attack on the Pentagon was a US Navy missile. We know that similar US Navy missiles hit both towers of the World Trade Center. The video evidence of these facts exists despite the attempts and efforts of the FBI, the CIA, and the NSA to seize them.
We know that George Bush Jr. and Dick Cheney had Gen. Hayden lie to numerous people and illegally conduct illegal wiretaps without warrants of millions of United States citizens for the past (14) fourteen years.
We know that there were numerous attempts to stop the illegal acts by many people in the NSA, but do the the greed of power, Hayden, Cheney, the Council on Foreign Relations and others needed this information to continue to provide a smokescreen for their illegal acts of the past and of the present.
We know that the illegal seizure/collection of internet traffic and telephone calls continues even today. As an international consultant, every time I post on one of my many blogs, I immediately begin to receive a Denial of Service targeted at my computer and internet service.
My email accounts have been hacked by the NSA a, the Secret Service, and the CIA. In fact, the NSA and its divisions read everything that I write and post. I could post a list of my laundry and a things to do list and it would be read and reposted throughout the NSA servers.
When I challenged Obama’s fake birth certificate (he really was born in Africa, not the United States), I received several rude emails from White House staff, US Secret Service, and NSA personnel who said that they had indeed seen the forged and fake birth certificate of Barack Hussein Obama aka “Barry”. I know a fake document when I see one, and Obama’s Hawaii birth certificate that was presented was indeed a fake.
The fake birth certificate just proved that Obama was just as big of a liar as George Bush Jr., Dick Cheney, and Thomas Hayden was. Their acts of TREASON against the people of the United States will go down in history as the greatest invasion and attempted destruction of the United States Constitution in all of time immortal.
So, the Patriot Act was introduced and downsized somewhat. Then came the unconstitutional FISA re-authorization which permits the collection and assembling of “meta-data” of every conversation that any person in the world has, in the interest of fighting imaginary terrorists.
In the wake of the illegal activities by the NSA, many other countries, including England has begun collecting internet and telephone conversations as well.
As an international consultant to the UN, the UN Economic Council, the IMF, the European Union, the European Union Human Rights Council, and thirty-four plus governments, on human rights, economy issues, environmental, financial, and constitutional issues, I am abhorred at the outright abuse of the NSA, the CIA, JSOC, the UN Peacekeepers, and other terrorist organizations that are supposed to be defending the rights, freedoms, and liberties of citizens around the world.
Instead of being a governments of the people, by the people, and for the people, the world’s governments have become governments that have set aside the basic human rights and natural rights of every citizen of the world in the vague attempt to protect us from ourselves and imaginary enemies.
In February of last 2012, I wrote a New Constitution of the United States and a Proposed Constitution of the United European Union. the latter was banned in Germany on You Tube.
If you want your world back, if you want your rights, liberties, and freedoms back, these documents give them back to you and take them away from corporations and spy agencies around the world.
I will post them every opportunity that I can get in the attempt to thwart the illegal taking of our rights of free speech and other natural rights given to us by God Almighty.
The Proposed Constitution of the United States and the Proposed Constitution of the United European Union are also at winklepublishing.blogspot.com, realmoneyfrompocketchange.blogspot.com, and on both of my Tumblr blogs.
Here is the United States version, below it is the European Union version: take them, and implement them. Make them into law to protect yourself and your citizens from tyranny.
I ASK EACH ONE OF YOU TO DEMAND A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION THIS YEAR to adopt
The New Constitution of the United States of America
(Proposed Amended Version)

No property may be taken by the state by any means without double compensation of the “fair price of that property.” No proceeding for eminent domain shall be held without the presence of a jury of the peers of the property holder who will be the sole judges of the value of the property.

Said removal from office will occur thirty days from the date of the recall vote by the citizens of the nation or of the legislature.
The President may not declare war on any nation or its citizens without the approval of Congress, for such is an impeachable offense of treason which unduly causes harm to the nation and places the nation in the precarious possibility of being retaliated against.
The president and Vice- president shall both take an oath of office that they will execute their respective offices to the best of their ability, and preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
The office of President and Vice President shall be filled by separate ballots to avoid corruption of the office of the presidency.

Said appointments and treaties shall require a majority vote of the Congress. The president shall have no right to executive powers to make laws. The president shall not have the right to declare war upon any nation without an act of congress, for such declaration is a high crime against the citizens of the nation and would require the immediate forfeiture of the office of the presidency. In the event of impeachment of the president of the vice-president the person being impeached may not be granted a pardon if the impeached person has committed a criminal act for which they are being impeached. In these matters, the nation must have justice rendered in its fullness.

The courts are not afforded the right to create or make law by their decisions as such is the exclusive right of the Representatives of the people of the nation.

The required resignation shall not be stayed by an appeal to any court in the nation, excepting the Supreme Court, who shall issue a finding within ten days of the appeal. Said appeal will not extend the thirty day requirement for resignation if a finding of guilt is upheld by the court.

The acceptance of said payment shall subject said person to an immediate recall election by the populous of their respective citizens who voted them into office. Such is necessary to prevent the corruption of these high offices which are privileges granted to them by their fellow citizens. No government official or their employees shall be excluded from any of these rights and liberties or from any part of the enforcement of the rights or from any laws of the nation may be passed in the future.

We, the citizens, hold these truths and liberties to be applicable to every citizen regardless of their race, color, gender, or creed, holding none to be above another. In this way, all of mankind, having come from one creator, and placed on this earth to do the bidding of our creator, do hereby pledge ourselves one to another, and to our God, for the common good of all mankind. Let us be worthy of our task. It is upon our shoulders, that none shall fall prey to the many vices of tyranny that would bind a man to another, nor to the vices that would cause turmoil between one another. We endeavor to assist one another, in their time of need that no person should suffer needlessly, not starve as a result of freedoms withheld from them. Their thirst for such freedoms as any person would so desire, will be freely quenched by every citizen for one another without demand or charge of any kind. For such, is the meaning of a “true democracy” pursuant to the words in this founding document of a new nation.

We hereby state our intentions to take back this country from the tyrannical forces that have invaded it from within by peaceful means, while that possibility still exists.

My original title for this post was the declaration “No More Politics!” However, Politics is not a bad thing it is a necessary thing. It becomes a bad thing when it is a profession. It is the Reids, Pelosis, Boxers and yes, the Boehners, McCarthys, McCains and Cantors that make politics ‘a bad thing’.
An understanding of the Federalist Papers and the Constitution of the United States makes it plain that this was to be a nation of individuals. Even John Jay, a member of the Continental Congress, writer of five of the Federalist Papers, the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court and the original “Liberal” was devoted to the individual; his rights and his freedoms.
It has been said many times and in many ways that where the people fear their government there is tyranny; where the government fears the people there is liberty.
OK, enough preamble what is the solution? The solution is cradled in a thing called a Convention of States or, more popularly a COS. A COS is a convention in each state called by the people of that state and voted on in each states legislature to propose amendments to the constitution. Prohibition was repealed by such a COS.
It is interesting to note that at no point does the President have a role in the formal amendment process (though he would be free to make his opinion known). He cannot veto an amendment proposal, or ratification. This point is clear in Article 5.
The COS I am talking about here has never been used by the American people, but it is time it is used. We need to have a concerted effort by the PEOPLE to reign in the power mad DC elite. This country was founded with the idea of ‘citizen legislators’ as outlined, again, in the Federalist Papers. There is a growing movement to do just that. I refer you to the Citizens for Self Governance at www.SelfGovern.com. This is a movement and a web site that was initiated by lawyers and American Patriots to get this job done and it, WE, need your help to fulfill this dream for America. The site is in the organizational stages for the convention and need all kinds of volunteers. Remember each state has to be in on the effort. Approval by three fourths of the states is needed for enactment.
Think for a minute about a nation where the elected officials are limited in the length of service, unable to exempt themselves out of any laws, and required to be elected by citizens that can prove they are citizens each time they vote. Can you say “Voter ID”? Case in point regarding that last one: Harry Reid, after his first election to the senate from Nevada has gone into election day a serious underdog and arose the next morning as the top dog, I keep wondering how that happens.
Think about being a part of such an historical effort.
This is a movement that can make the changes we were looking for when BOH promised changes and delivered a nightmare. It needs all kinds of help from state directors and public speakers; district captains and people to help with the coffee for meetings. If you believe in the need for real grassroots change back to a government “… of the people, for the people and by the people.” Please at least take a look at that web sight and then decide to put in your two cents worth.

Then and now, how four years can change the Barack and Michelle Obama rhetoric – it’s like Ken & Barbie Obama had a Mattel makeover right in front of our eyes. The speech last night by Michelle Obama was polished and unless one knew the truth it would be easy to fall into the same dismal political Obama pit of 2008.
Michelle Obama has moved into the clutches of the Obama Administration and Liberal News Media and is now but a victim of the times. The story told last night by Michelle Obama at the DNC Convention was nothing more than a fairytale Cinderella story that was devoid and empty of truth – a story concocted to prey on the emotions of the poor, women, the African American Community and the Hispanics.
Michelle set the scene describing Obama’s youth describing him as a poor boy without a penny to his name driving an old rusty worn out car and wearing shoes a size too small. She spins a story about an unknown, knowing full well that none of us have seen his student loans and most of us believe he had a free educational ride here as a foreign student.
In fact, none of us know who this person that some call President Obama really is – the little bit we do know isn’t exactly the kind of information that would make us believe he is or was qualified to lead our Country. His past 3 ½ years confirms that suspicion.
The fact is last night’s speech by Michelle Obama was just a rerun of Obama’s 2008 speeches. She painted a false image of the man she calls her husband – it’s hard to believe that Democrats actually think most Americans will buy the regurgitated “hope and change.”
The changes in 3 ½ years are the most devastatingly changes of our lifetime. Our hard earned money, retirement and our hope was crushed by Obama. He stole our stimulus money for his friends, special interest groups, Unions and corrupt lending institutions. He increased our National Debt over 5 trillion dollars – he squandered our monies on his personal sacred cows.
So when Michelle says he’s a caring person fighting for his Country I beg to differ with her. He is a dictator striving to promote a new world order and destroy the greatest Nation in the World.
When Michelle mentions women and how Obama is fighting for them – that’s an outright lie or fabrication. During his term as President he has actively under a guise campaigned against women, all women and not one thing outside of securing a few condoms, promise of sex changes and some free healthcare that we’re all paying for can be attributed to Obama. Women are losing jobs daily, they have been relegated to the ancient history shelf with the promise that “big Daddy Government” will care for them.
She briefly mentioned education for our youth – the fact is our college graduates are living in their parents’ garages or basements. No jobs and no hope of jobs!
What Michelle didn’t mention which confirms the shallow platform of the Democrats is: (1) high unemployment, (2) National Deficit over 16 trillion, (3) Businesses big and small closing their doors or moving out of our Country and (4) The fact we’re not better off then we were four years ago.
Democrats have controlled the Government since 2006. They have refused to even try to balance our budget. They are addicted to spending much more than we take in and their platform is nothing but a bunch of “hope and change” rhetoric without solutions, without substantial realistic plans to restore our weakened Nation.
As Ronald Reagan said "Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem."
May God Bless America
As Always.

The recent RNC Convention in Tampa, Florida was missing one of its most essential conservative ingredients to showcase the essence of the conservative 2010 Republican comeback story. That comeback was largely due to the grassroots organizing tenacity of Sarah Palin. Whatever the rationale used by the RNC or Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s campaign strategists to keep Palin’s presence on the sidelines, it missed the point of the narrative. It was therefore incomplete.
There were remarkable women and others, who spoke at the RNC Convention, but Palin is more than a good speech, she is a foundation builder.
Imagine for a moment, if Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Patriots around this nation had listened to the radicalized left and liberal media pundits. What if they had done “what they were told” to not make noise, to not organize, to keep their passion for America’s future and potential demise to themselves? The American conservative comeback of 2010 would have been a “might have been” instead of a solid building block for reemerging American patriotism that the movement has become.
Sarah Palin not only helped developed the new political conservative narrative for America, her heart and her soul is the heart and soul of every American patriot who does not need to watch a political convention to be told and shown what is relevant to them. Rather, the conservative patriots know full well that the true conservative American Convention is a convention held in their homes and communities each and every single day.
What if America had been subjected to Democrat retention of the House in 2010? What if President Obama had been able to continue to steam roll his misguided agenda into other areas beside Obamacare’s? A House lead by Speaker Nancy Pelosi could easily have given more trillion dollar bailouts to union leaders, government entitlement handouts and granted illegal aliens first in line job training, education and full citizenship rights. States would be forbidden to arrest and maintain illegal aliens and all borders would be open and free to any illegal alien that wanted to take advantage of America’s welfare and healthcare systems.
The U.S. Constitution would have been even more abused than Obama’s has already done by failing to enforce laws passed by congress, and usurping federal laws by declaring that nearly one million illegal aliens can avoid a federal constitutionally passed law by breaking it through his executive order. His rationale, “It’s the right thing to do” usurped the U.S. Constitution’ separation of powers, and made socialist edicts the new law of the land.
President George Washington’s warned against this type of governmental usurpation of the U.S. Constitution. He stated in his Farewell Address of 1796:, “But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this in one instance may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit which the use can at any time yield.”
The Tea Party take over in the House with its congressional candidates prevented a much greater devolution of the nation’s constitution. Instead it was the steady vigilance of the Tea Party Nation in states across America and Sarah Palin who worked tirelessly to insure those victorious outcomes were secured..
Most critically is the religious and moral foundation on which Palin’s pursuit of American conservative convention lies: President Washington covered this necessity in his 1796 Farewell Speech. He stated “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness -- these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens.”
As one can easily surmise, Palin’s embrace of this essential religious and morally principled doctrine successfully guided her in 2010 as well into historic primary wins in states like Texas with Ted Cruz for U.S. Senate.
Instead in the months leading up to the RNC Convention in Tampa, the RNC and Romney camp appeared to focus more on building an assault strategy to showcase at the convention. They danced away from any attempt to embrace or acknowledge the solid results of a Tea Party conservative revolution and Sarah Palin, a conservative leader who successfully rekindled the Washingtonian beliefs and philosophy. “Let it simply be asked, Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice?”
The rekindling of support for those time honored values are more than just a sound bite. Sarah Palin’s work is solid and there is a new conservative dynamic taking place at dinner tables across America. The conservative American Convention is televised on social media sites in the tens of millions. The patriots share news on these social networks which are unafraid, un-bought and unbent.
This new social dynamic is the home, where the renaissance of conservative principles, religious ideals and values is the foundation which is as old as the bible and as contemporary as this morning’s kitchen breakfast discussion. So, in many ways, Sarah Palin’s appearance for one week out of a presidential campaign at a national convention was not as important as keeping her out building and supporting conservative leaders across America.
As her guide, Palin has stood and continues to stand on conservative principles that count in American homes. As Washington so eloquently phrased it, “And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”
America will win against an Obama White House and administration that has abandoned moral and religious principles. America will win in all the November general elections to follow, by listening to the clarion call of an American conservative leader. Palin has traded attempting to fit into the mainstream political culture, and instead has helped create a culture that is true, that is authentically patriotic.
Sarah Palin’s heart and soul is as true as the words and leadership that America’ heroic founding father and first President offered, “The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism.” This is Sarah Palin and this is her American Convention.

With the strong backing of an energized Republican Party and a diverse team of rising stars, candidate Mitt Romney formally accepted the GOP nomination to be President of the United States.
Recalling the excitement and optimism of the presidential race of four years ago, Romney pointed out how those elevated expectations and the bevy of promises that came with those expectations have led to disappointment over opportunities lost:
“Every family in America wanted this to be a time when they could get ahead a little more, put aside a little more for college, do more for their elderly mom who's living alone now or give a little more to their church or charity.
Every small business wanted these to be their best years ever, when they could hire more, do more for those who had stuck with them through the hard times, open a new store or sponsor that Little League team.
Every new college graduate thought they'd have a good job by now, a place of their own, and that they could start paying back some of their loans and build for the future.
This is when our nation was supposed to start paying down the national debt and rolling back those massive deficits. This was the hope and change America voted for. It's not just what we wanted. It's not just what we expected.
It's what Americans deserved.”
Romney shared the pain and hardship everyday Americans have felt over the past four years as the result of the current administration’s failed economic policies:
“You deserved it because during these years, you worked harder than ever before. You deserved it because when it cost more to fill up your car, you cut out movie nights and put in longer hours. Or when you lost that job that paid $22.50 an hour with benefits, you took two jobs at 9 bucks an hour and fewer benefits. You did it because your family depended on you. You did it because you're an American and you don't quit. You did it because it was what you had to do.
But driving home late from that second job, or standing there watching the gas pump hit 50 dollars and still going, when the realtor told you that to sell your house you'd have to take a big loss, in those moments you knew that this just wasn't right.”
He then pointed to the morning light peeking over the horizon by reminding Americans “Now is the moment when we can stand up and say, ‘I'm an American. I make my destiny. And we deserve better! My children deserve better! My family deserves better. My country deserves better!’”
Romney then went on a brief autobiographical journey. He reminded Americans who know him, and revealed to those who do not, that his life has been a familiar American story. The son of immigrants, whose parents worked hard to give him opportunities they never had. By example they taught him the value of hard work and enterprise, and the meaning of love. He met the love of his life, and with her raised a happy, loving family of their own. He summed up by saying “And that's how it is in America. We look to our communities, our faiths, our families for our joy, our support, in good times and bad. It is both how we live our lives and why we live our lives. The strength and power and goodness of America has always been based on the strength and power and goodness of our communities, our families, our faiths.”
Next, he outlined the story of his business career, where struggles to launch Bain Capital were rewarded by success: “That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story. Some of the companies we helped start are names you know. An office supply company called Staples – where I'm pleased to see the Obama campaign has been shopping; The Sports Authority, which became a favorite of my sons. We started an early childhood learning center called Bright Horizons that First Lady Michelle Obama rightly praised. At a time when nobody thought we'd ever see a new steel mill built in America, we took a chance and built one in a corn field in Indiana. Today Steel Dynamics is one of the largest steel producers in the United States.”
Romney chose that moment to remind Americans that attacking success is “the centerpiece of the President's entire re-election campaign… Is it any wonder that someone who attacks success has led the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression? In America, we celebrate success, we don't apologize for it.”
He then reminded voters “That is why every president since the Great Depression who came before the American people asking for a second term could look back at the last four years and say with satisfaction: "you are better off today than you were four years ago." Except Jimmy Carter. And except this president.”
Mitt Romney understands that for America to work and for Americans to succeed, they need jobs. “Lots of jobs,” and how the current administration’s policies “…have not helped create jobs, they have depressed them.”
Romney put American voters on fair notice when he warned them:
“To the majority of Americans who now believe that the future will not be better than the past, I can guarantee you this: if Barack Obama is re-elected, you will be right.”
Romney then outlined his five point plan to revitalize the American economy:
“First, by 2020, North America will be energy independent by taking full advantage of our oil and coal and gas and nuclear and renewables.
Second, we will give our fellow citizens the skills they need for the jobs of today and the careers of tomorrow. When it comes to the school your child will attend, every parent should have a choice, and every child should have a chance.
Third, we will make trade work for America by forging new trade agreements. And when nations cheat in trade, there will be unmistakable consequences.
Fourth, to assure every entrepreneur and every job creator that their investments in America will not vanish as have those in Greece, we will cut the deficit and put America on track to a balanced budget.
And fifth, we will champion SMALL businesses, America's engine of job growth. That means reducing taxes on business, not raising them. It means simplifying and modernizing the regulations that hurt small business the most. And it means that we must rein in the skyrocketing cost of healthcare by repealing and replacing Obamacare.”
On foreign policy, Romney criticized the current administration for their failure to slow Iran's nuclear threat, for how they have disrespected allies like Israel and Poland, and sought to appease Russia. He assured Americans that “Under my administration, our friends will see more loyalty, and Mr. Putin will see a little less flexibility and more backbone.”
Romney concluded his speech before a cheering crowd and to a standing ovation:
“The America we all know has been a story of the many becoming one, uniting to preserve liberty, uniting to build the greatest economy in the world, uniting to save the world from unspeakable darkness.
Everywhere I go in America, there are monuments that list those who have given their lives for America. There is no mention of their race, their party affiliation, or what they did for a living. They lived and died under a single flag, fighting for a single purpose. They pledged allegiance to the UNITED States of America.
That America, that united America, can unleash an economy that will put Americans back to work, that will once again lead the world with innovation and productivity, and that will restore every father and mother's confidence that their children's future is brighter even than the past.
That America, that united America, will preserve a military that is so strong, no nation would ever dare to test it.
That America, that united America, will uphold the constellation of rights that were endowed by our Creator, and codified in our Constitution.
That united America will care for the poor and the sick, will honor and respect the elderly, and will give a helping hand to those in need.
That America is the best within each of us. That America we want for our children.
If I am elected President of these United States, I will work with all my energy and soul to restore that America, to lift our eyes to a better future. That future is our destiny. That future is out there. It is waiting for us. Our children deserve it, our nation depends upon it, the peace and freedom of the world require it. And with your help we will deliver it. Let us begin that future together tonight.”
With a strong supporting cast, with an energized Republican Party and a diverse team of rising stars behind him, Mitt Romney demonstrated why on January 20, 2013 he is the man best prepared to sit in the Oval Office.
Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and Republicans are ready to lead. It is time for the current administration and their “progressive” allies to either follow or get out of the way.

When is it ever hilarious that the thought of dozens if not hundreds of black people desperately clinging for life as torrential waters batter their children, mothers or neighbors ever funny? David Chalian, a former political director with ABC News thought it was fair game to use a hate-mongering attack against Mitt Romney and Republicans gathered at the RNC Convention in Tampa, Florida on Wednesday. In his vicious racist attack he said, Romney is, “Happy to throw a party with black people dying.”
Chalian, who was recently the Washington Bureau Chief for Yahoo News was fired for his online remarks, which brought no sense of alarm or even admonition from any of his on air colleagues. This has become frighteningly familiar and comfortably abusive behavior by many liberal media persons who repeatedly target Republicans leaders and Tea Party members.
Only last night after Utah mayor and congressional candidate Mia Love gave a stunning speech at the Republican National Convention, her Wikipedia page was hacked. So in an atmosphere of glowing GOP support for a rising star of the GOP who happens to be an African American woman, liberal attackers practiced their deceitful craft. They used morally offensive language on her page and called her a “dirty, worthless wh*re who sold her soul in the name of big business, “and a house ni**er.”
This is the repugnant culture that mainstream media reporters and anchors have permitted to fester and grow, that seeds this type of morally bankrupt conduct. This is not new.
You do not have to go back very far to find media targeted bias. Last month, in the wake of the Colorado movie theater shootings, where 12 people were murdered, ABC News went on the air with a libelous claim against a Colorado Tea Party member. During a morning news segment of Good Morning America, Anchor George Stephanopoulos, and Brian Ross, ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent erroneously and callously linked an innocent Colorado man with the same name to this tragedy without making any attempt at verification of his identity. His only “alleged crime” was having being a member of the Tea Party. Brian Ross was never fired or reprimanded.
Do not be mistaken into believing that this might have been just another non-purposeful action. In fact, on previous occasions... ( read more : http://shar.es/7AaGs )
America is at a crucial tipping point in its illustrious history. The socialist minded presidential principles of Obama have joined with millions of illegal aliens who have been given a presidential pass to demand entry through your gates to rights and privileges given citizens. They can ignore federal and state citizenship laws, and walk openly into your cities to demand housing in your neighborhoods. Illegal aliens can insist upon free health care at your hospitals and soon sue for the right to the keys to your child’s college education.
This is not the future in America…This is America today, this is America right now!
There is hope. States like Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Virginia and even Wisconsin that Obama scooped into his electoral column in 2008, are now steadily trending in polls towards Mitt Romney. In fact according to recently released Rasmussen Poll numbers, amongst 11 key swing states, Obama has dropped from 53 percent, in this same period in 2008, to currently 47 percent. Romney comes in at 44 percent and is increasingly closing the voter polling gap.
Most importantly, historically when polls begin to tighten this early in a presidential race, instead of later, the incumbent president is typically shown the door.
You don’t have to believe the polls, just ask your buddies at the unemployment line, or your former co-worker at the grocery store, or even your fellow farmers at the town square and community meetings. Millions like you in the nation are waking up. The president’s deficit spending quagmire which has dragged nearly 23 million families into unemployment and thousands of towns and whole communities into debt, despair and depression is setting an electoral fire under swing state voters…

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will deliver the keynote address at the Republican National Convention in Tampa later this month, while Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) will introduce Mitt Romney.
“I’ll try to tell some very direct and hard truths to people in the country about the trouble that we’re in and the fact that fixing those problems is not going to be easy for any of them,” Christie told USA Today in an interview announcing his speech. He said he will describe his experiences in New Jersey as evidence that “the American people are ready to confront those problems head-on and endure some sacrifice.”
"As governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie has proven how bold Republican leadership gets results. He has fearlessly tackled his state’s most difficult challenges, while looking out for hardworking taxpayers,” said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, in a statement announcing the governor’s selection.
In terms of importance, the keynote speech is seen as second only to the speech of the presidential or vice-presidential nominee. It was the keynote speech in 2004 at the DNC that propelled Obama into public view, which should emphasize the importance many attribute to the keynote speaking slot.
Christie is a very popular figure in the GOP. Some have even gone so far as to nick-name him a "rock star of the republican party." His popularity has not however been enough to stave off complaints about his being picked for the keynote position. These complaints have revolved around others who certain conservatives
believe are better suited to speak at the convention, namely, one Sarah Palin.
The former governor of Alaska remains a Tea Party favorite, but still seems to be out of place with the GOP establishment. Some have discussed the idea that perhaps Palin is simply too conservative for the establishment of the Republican Party, and so some conservative bloggers have cried out to 'Let Sarah Speak.'
Palin is seen by 'grass-roots' conservatives as an electrifying figure that would excite the party base. Her not speaking at the Republican National Convention is seen by these same conservatives as a signal from the party establishment that they do not truly represent their interests in Washington. Some see her not speaking as a signal that party officials are not comfortable with the former governor. Whatever the case, Palin fans are certainly upset.
“As I’ve repeatedly said, I support Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan in their efforts to replace President Obama at the ballot box, and I intend to focus on grassroots efforts to rally independents and the GOP base to elect Senate and House members so a wise Congress is ready to work with our new president to get our country back on the right path," said Palin in a statement to Fox News’s Greta van Susteren.

Many Tea party Patriots agree that changes must be made if we are to return our country to the constitutional republic created by the framers and implemented by our founders. Our system of government was designed to be complicated and cumbersome so as to protect the rights of the people and the individual states. It is the expansion of federal power by ignoring and circumventing the intended checks and balances provided by our constitution in all branches of our federal government that has eroded our individual and states’ rights. The list of things that need to be corrected, repealed, overturned or nullified in order to put things right is a long one, and I would not presume to dictate either the content of such a list or the order of importance. I do suggest that this list of issues requiring redress includes action items for every branch of our government. Some things should be legislated, some corrected by the Executive branch and some require further judicial action if we intend to affect these changes within the boundaries of our legal government. Herein lays the problem since the people who are in control, or who are likely to be in control, of our government are no longer responsive to the people who they are supposed to represent.
We have a very important election coming up and one would like to think that if we change the players they will do the right things and set our country back on the correct path. History shows us that result is unlikely since it is dependent upon those who hold the power and control the means of wealth to voluntarily reduce their own power and relinquish some of that control as part of making the requisite changes. We all hope the election will stop the bleeding by terminating the reign of the present administration, but I believe we should have a plan B just in case.
There is another way in which we can return power to the states and the people, a way that is totally within the legal boundaries established by our constitution. This method is cumbersome by design and requires active participation of at least 37 of the states acting together to force these changes on those elected and appointed representatives that refuse to comply with the wishes of the electorate. I refer to an Article V amendment convention as requested by application of two-thirds of the individual states. This proposition would not be easily accomplished and I do not suggest we abandon other means available for seeking redress of these critical issues. I am suggesting that our elected officials will need some incentive to step up and make the changes we demand. I am suggesting this incentive take the form of a committee (or a group of committees) formed by representatives from all the states for the purpose of creating and prioritizing our list of issues that must be addressed soon.
Tea Party groups in every state are working to elect better representatives for both state and federal offices. That is absolutely the correct first step and the preferred approach. I hope that the ranks of Tea Party Patriots now include some of those elected to State offices and others influential in State government. If we can assemble a group comprised of three to five motivated patriots from each state into a virtual committee of the whole we might be able to make real change happen in our lifetimes. This group could segment itself into smaller committees tasked with bringing recommendations to the whole body to be considered for inclusion in a list of issues that would be approved by a majority of states and targeted for action to the appropriate branch of the federal government or to the states for individual but coordinated resolution. Some issues might require the Article V amendment convention and it is this possibility backed by tacit agreement of at least 37 states that will provide the incentive for our elected representatives to do the right thing for our country for a change. In addition, this group of states working together can effectively nullify any law or dictate from our federal government, and this does not require an amendment to the constitution.
This working group would not be a constitutional convention but would be focused on determining the most critical issues to be resolved in order to restore our constitutional republic as created by the framers and implemented by our founders. However, if an Article V amendment convention is required we will already have a consensus among a majority of the individual states regarding what topics such a convention should address. Such a group of States, all in agreement, is authorized by our constitution to make amendments to our constitution without the approval of Congress, the President or the Judiciary. The realization that a cohesive group of states is ready to take such action may turn out to be a source of powerful persuasion with our elected federal representatives.
I welcome your comments and suggestions regarding this bottom up approach. If you agree and would like to participate please indicate that in your response. I am hoping the Tea Party groups from each state can convince the right people to participate in such an endeavor. My sense is we will need to work with both the state legislatures and the state Attorneys General to generate maximum effectiveness.
I have told many people, "One doesn't have to have a friend in order to be one.".
Too bad Pres. Obama doesn't understand this. He definitely has not been a friend to this nation.
Have you ever heard of "Constitutional Convention"? Most people haven't but most people have heard about "Prohibition" and that it was over turned. "Constitutional Convention" was responsible for this and it was the only and last time "Constitutional Convention" has ever been used.
One method the U.S. Congress uses to pass laws is through "Joint Resolution" .
This joint resolution "must" be submitted to the floor of the "Senate" or the "House", from a committee "or" through"Constitutional Convention".
Constitutional Convention is a direct path that, "We The People" rarely use to influence the laws or over turn Laws made on Capital Hill by amendment of the U.S. Constitution. For example, as mentioned before, the last time Constitutional Convention was used was to over turn "prohibition". Though the U.S. congress takes credit for over turning Prohibition, it was actually the collective efforts of the people that did it. This power of the people is a well kept secret for a reason and I know you can guess why.
Constitution Convention is the authority platform of the people in which "We The People" can require and force U.S. Congress to put forth a joint resolution for a vote and amend the U.S. Constitution to enact or overturn any law of the land and the President is powerless to "Veto" it.
Even as you read this email, a propositon for a "joint resolution" to amend the U.S. constitution to define marriage to be the union of one man and one woman has remained stagnated, unrecognized and unapproved by the House Judicial Committee for over a year and half. It was submitted approximately April of 2010 and in November 2010 the first indications of over turning the Defense of Marriage Act(DOMA) was announced. The House Judiciary Committee is controlled by Liberal Democrats.
A Constitutional Convention, which is the collective proclamation and efforts of two thirds of all state legislatures, would force the "House Judicial Committee" to put forth a joint resolution concerning an amendment to the U.S. constitution to be voted on defining marriage as between one man and one woman. This is just one example of the untold scope of authority "We The People" actually do have and must find a way to excericse if this country is to prevent a continual decline of morality,traditional values,true equality and prosperity for "all" people
With your help of forwarding this to your friends and a collective effort from the Tea Party grass roots, "We The People" can once again,declare freedom from tryranny.
Please forward this to all regions Tea Party Commanders for consideration.
Thank you.

As I have said, the cry of the Tea Party now should be for a brokered convention. Here is another voice added to the growing chorus of voices calling on Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich to listen to the voices of their own constituency.

How an open convention could reinvigorate Republicans.
"No, no, no. The Republican presidential nomination really is not over despite the parade of rather craven endorsements now flowing Mitt Romney's way."

The short term Tea Party goals are important. We must remove irresponsible politicians from Washington DC and try to regain some measure of control over our government. This is only a stopgap measure, however, since the legal loopholes that allowed this gargantuan government to evolve are still in place.
We can argue about what we consider Constitutional until we are blue in the face, but as long as the Supreme Court rules in favor of big government with vague interpretations, the Republic will always be at risk.
The first time I saw a map with 38 states taking action to legally oppose Obamacare, it suddenly dawned on me: 38! Just the number of states needed to ratify an Amendment to the Constitution! We have the momentum and now support from the several states.
THE TIME IS RIGHT TO FOCUS THE TEA PARTY ON A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION TO ELIMINATE THE GENERAL WELFARE CLAUSE AND MODIFY THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE CLAUSE FOREVER
