Update:
A Convention of States will result in an overthrow of the Constitution. Aside from this scenario as outlined by Matt Bracken in his Enemies Foreign and Domestic trilogy, we have the real life example of this happening in our country in 1787.
Our original government was organized under the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. This government required unanimous consent to amend its framework and was a “perpetual” union. A convention was called to discuss its shortcomings but Rhode Island and the Providence Plantations did not send a representative. This meant that the convention could not amend the Articles. Several other states sent representatives who had no authorization to vote, only observe.
After due consideration, the members decided to overthrow the existing government and form a new one. The convention is known today as the Constitutional Convention. Imagine what a convention of states would do today. Then again, we have already had a coup of the Constitution so why would they need to do anymore to secure their power?
To Patriot Nurse: what are you thinking?

Country full of children. They think Daddy Government, Daddy Trump, etc.will come and save them. No one wants to take responsibility of the failings in our country (hint: IT’S US!) and solve the problem(s).
GOD never intended for man to be ruled by a king…
1 Samuel 8
1.When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as Israel’s leaders….But his sons did not follow his ways. They turned aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice.
4 So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. 5 They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead[b] us, such as all the other nations have.”
6 But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. 7 And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”
10 Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. 11 He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16 Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle[c] and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.”
19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.”
21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the Lord. 22 The Lord answered, “Listen to them and give them a king.”
Then Samuel said to the Israelites, “Everyone go back to your own town.”
Time to man up and fight.
Hell yes, I can’t walk but I can still shoot and pretty damn straight !!!
How many fed agents are there? How many of Us are there? They can’t arrest us all, and We out number them by thousands to one. But instead of standing up to our biggest enemy, we choose to get in line and wear a mask. Why not just wear a scarlet letter, because you are a Whore to the government. Who would have known there are so many sycophants to the enemy.
Recall the first constituional convention. The Articles of Incorporation were scrapped and a Constitutions written in its place (thank God). But do we dare try that again with the RINO’s, DINO’s and neocons in congress outnumbering the conservatives?
Use the phone my a**. I’m done with the phone calls, the protests, the letters and Trump worship. I like listening to her she’s on most all the time but she is dead wrong on the issue of Convention of States. A length of rope and a tall tree or a lamp post will be more efficient getting the point across. We should start at the local level. If that doesn’t work we all vote from the roof tops. The only thing they will understand is if we put the fear of the almighty God in them. And if it takes blood, than I will donate all of mine. My grandchildren shouldn’t have to look at my phone bills to see if I was a patriot.
Damn them damn them all!
There is only one thing the domestic communists will understand….PAIN !
Physical pain or financial pain.
And I agree 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻☺️
Does anyone remember Unintended Consequences by John Ross?
You must be new here…
Yeah, kinda.
But I push that and others every chance I get.
Too old and decrepit to run and gun, so I do what I can.
It’s time to feed the hogs! 🙂
There is no other way out other than blood. They will not obey the convention. They do not obey any other part of the Constitution. The wages of sin has always been blood and we are under judgement.
You’re right about that. If they won’t obey the constitution they sure as shit won’t obey any legislation that would come out of a COS.
TINVOWOOT. You only have the rights and freedoms you are willing to fight for, die for and MOST IMPORTANTLY……KILL FOR.
In the United States (and possibly the entire world) there are two governments. The first is the government you and I see on television everyday. I call that the TV Government. They use the Treasury / Federal Reserve to issue money which is presently 2.4 trillion mostly bond debt based money. The other government is not recognized by the public at large. I call that the Shadow government. Evidence shows that the TV Government is subservient to the Shadow Government because they are vastly more powerful. They use social engineers to keep the fight between opposing parties appear real because they control the media. The bickering between parties is irrelevant to Economics (monetary policy), corporate monopoly or war. The The Shadow government issues 19 Trillion dollars mostly debt based and lend it out. Commercial Banks create money out of thin air when they issue loans. Presently they have issued approximately 14.5 trillion dollars and the average interest is 9%. When you use a credit card, or use at commercial bank to finance your house, get a new car, school loan, start a new business, etc., you are financing the Shadow government. With this revenue they have monopolized most corporations using shareholder control through investment firms such as Blackrock and Vanguard. Therefore they have monopolized food production, mainstream media, transportation, energy, technology, housing, utilities, information. Any corporation that appear to have influence and are public are overwhelm with capital from them until they have majority vote. If you want evidence of these be specific in your asking.
The following may be true but no actual evidence:
This shadow government dictates where the pentagon sends the military. Westly Clark’s “7 Countries in 5 year” came from where?
The Federal Income is said to have been created by the 16th Amendment. This is propaganda and not based on truth. Since this proganda is so pervasive we have to look at the Shadow government for its origin, as only able to carry such pervasive misinformation. Now roughly the intention is for the Shadow Government to acquire to make their money debt based. They use Federal Reserve notes which are acquired through the selling of bonds. The equivalent of all income tax revenues goes solely to the pay the interest on the national debt. I have never received an adequate explanation why we cannot use United States Notes (which is not bound to treasury securities), and therefore no national debt. Federal Reserve Notes are based on debt, but United states Notes are based on equity. If the TV government only created 2.4 trillion dollars, how can we have a public debt of 28 trillion dollars. I would like to see that mathematical study. So does Federal Income Tax revenues go mostly to the Shadow government under the guise of interest? Do commercial banks get free treasury securities?
