IS IT TIME FOR AN ARTICLE 5 CONVENTION OF THE STATES?

MANY AMERICANS ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE DIRECTION OUR NATION IS FOLLOWING AND WHAT THE FUTURE WILL BRING. OUR FREEDOM IS UNDER SIEGE AND IT HAS BEEN CAUSED BY AN EVER ENCOMPASSING GOVERNMENT THAT WANTS TO TELL EACH OF US WHAT TO DO IN ALMOST EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES. SPENDING IS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL, REGULATIONS TIE UP HUGE AMOUNTS OF TIME AND MONEY WHILE OFTEN SERVING LITTLE IF ANY GOOD PURPOSE, CONGRESSIONAL ATTACKS ON STATE SOVEREIGNTY ARE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH AS THAT BODY USES FEDERAL GRANTS TO REMAIN IN POWER AND DECISION MAKING ON EVEN ELEMENTARY ISSUES HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM THE PEOPLE.

CONGRESS WON'T CHANGE THAT, THE PRESIDENT WON'T CHANGE THAT AND THE BUREAUCRACY, WELL, IT JUST GROWS AND GROWS AS IT DEVOURS OUR LIVES.  BUT THERE IS A TOOL THAT THE FOUNDERS GAVE US IN ARTICLE 5 OF THE CONSTITUTION.  AND THAT TOOL IS AN ARTICLE 5 CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION OF THE STATES.  WE THE PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEMAND THAT OUR STATE LEGISLATORS APPROVE SUCH AN ACTION AND IN SO DOING WE CAN CHANGE OUR COURSE THROUGH HARD WORK AND COURAGE.  THIS COMMENTATOR FOR ONE THINKS NOW IS THE TIME FOR JUST SUCH AN ACTION.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT AT 9 PM (ET) FRIDAY ON NORTH FLORIDA WRITER LIVE. FREEDOM AND LIBERTY ARE CRITICAL TO BEING ABLE TO LIVE OUR LIVES AS WE WISH. IT'S TIME TO GET INVOLVED.
