LISTEN TO THIS ARTICLE:
Article
5
of the U.S.
[United States of America]
Constitution
grants the U.S.
states
the ability to convene and amend,
change or even scrap
the entire
Federal Government
if two-thirds of the states [34
total states]
call for it and three-fourths of those
states [26
total states]
are in agreement.
I
recently came across a slew of articles
saying that in March of 2014, Michigan’s
state legislature voted
and passed a resolution
calling for a Constitutional
Convention of the States,
making them the 34th U.S.
state
to do so. This should, by default, trigger a Convention of the
States. I did some research
and found that this has been standing since February 22nd,
1911 when Maine
was actually the 34th state
to call for a Convention of the States, but the
U.S. Congress
has yet
to call for one … ever!
During
such a convention, the entire
U.S. Constitution can be changed; nothing is off limits. This would
even allow the states to completely dismantle
the Federal Government without
its consent and repudiate [disown]
the debt which that government has incurred [which
is somewhere in the ballpark of ONE
QUADRILLION, SEVEN-HUNDRED TRILLION
U.S.
DOLLARS,
which looks something like this: $1,700,000,000,000,000].
We, the people, now have the power to dismantle and eliminate the Federal Government and return this country to a confederacy, which gives the states the power to control themselves, with no need for a federal governing body, which is the type of government that we had in place before the U.S. Constitution was unanimously ratified in 1790 and deemed these great states a CONSTITUTIONALLY-LIMITED REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC [not a “dEmOcRaCy,” like many would incorrectly lead you to believe].
We have the power to not only
drop
out
of NATO
[North
Atlantic Treaty Organization],
but also to completely scrap
numerous nuclear
arsenal
treaties, allowing
the U.S. to properly
arm itself once again,
getting us out from underneath the evil,
schizophrenic
thumb of zonist
Israel.
We could also dismantle
the Federal
Reserve!
We could go back
to the gold standard
or even a barter system
if we wanted to! We could stop supporting big
banks, big
pharmacies
and big oil
companies,
and become energy
self-sufficient! We
could do away with the illegal
income tax
and restore a truly
free
market,
not the cronyism
bullshit that we have today!
The options really are limitless!
So, let’s take a quick look
at Article
5 of the U.S. Constitution.
At its core, it provides two
distinct ways for amendments to be proposed. The first,
which has been used for all
27
Amendments
to date, requires two-thirds
of both the U.S.
House and Senate to
approve a resolution before sending it to the states for
ratification. The Founding Fathers also devised an alternative
way, which says that if two-thirds of the state legislatures demand
a meeting, then the
U.S.
Congress shall
call a convention for proposing amendments.
Here
is the full text of Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution:
“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; provided that no
amendment which may be made prior to the year One
Thousand Eight
Hundred
and Eight
shall, in any manner, affect the first and fourth
clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state,
without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in
the Senate.”
So
the impetus is now on the [corporately controlled
and corrupt-as-all-hell]
U.S. Congress to call for such a convention. The last time that an40
years ago
[the
26th Amendment which
lowered the voting age to 18].
The U.S.
States
ratified the 27th Amendment
on congressional pay increases [go
figure, politicians wanting more
money?
What?!],
but it took more than 200
to
do so. With Michigan’s recent vote and another one just made by
Tennessee on April 9th,
2014, maybe we can finally
right so
many
wrongs and get the government that we truly
want
and deserve!
Stay conscious my friends.
