The Time Has Come For an Article V Convention!By Crippy, Section News
My fellow Michiganders. My fellow Americans, treating a disease and becoming well again can only be accomplished through a proper diagnosis of the disease. As Americans we must put aside the romantic notion of living in a constitutionally limited republic. If the last 100 years don't provide sufficient evidence, the events of this last year should provide all that is needed. Our country is firmly in the clutches of International Marxists who seek our complete enslavement and have no problem admitting it, and even laughing about it publicly.
As cases in point, click here to see speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi laughing at the thought of her power being limited by the United States Constitution. Click here, to see Illinois congressman Phil Hare, telling his constituents "I don't worry about the Constitution". And the coupe d'etat, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia writing for the majority of the court in Gonzalez v Raich : "Unlike the power to regulate activities that have a substantial effect on interstate commerce, the power to enact laws enabling effective regulation of interstate commerce can only be exercised in conjunction with congressional regulation of an interstate market, and it extends only to those measures necessary to make the interstate regulation effective. As Lopez itself states, and the Court affirms today, Congress may regulate noneconomic intrastate activities only where the failure to do so "could ... undercut" its regulation of interstate commerce. ... This is not a power that threatens to obliterate the line between "what is truly national and what is truly local."Based on this interpretation of the Commerce Clause, no aspect of human behavior is outside of the clutches of congress. Justice Clarence Thomas put it best writing in dissent, If the majority is to be taken seriously, the Federal Government may now regulate quilting bees, clothes drives, and potluck suppers throughout the 50 States. This makes a mockery of Madison's assurance to the people of New York that the "powers delegated" to the Federal Government are "few and defined", while those of the States are "numerous and indefinite."
In the face of all the evidence, thanks to George Mason, there remains one Ace left to play in the hand for Liberty. This ace can be found in Article V of the Constitution which reads,
Article VReferring to the bolded text, in the event that 34 states submit applications for an Article V convention, the political pygmies in D.C. are Constitutionally required to call the convention whether they want it or not. The problem is that to date all 50 states have submitted over 700 applications and Congress refuses to call the convention. Bill Walker is one of the founders of Friends of The Article V Convention. I heard him today on the Mike Church show. He has actually tried to sue to get Congress to call the convention. The courts however, the yesmen for the Fifth Columnists in Washington D.C., predictably ruled that a citizen does not have standing to file suit. From what I gather however, a single member of a state legislature would have standing. Friends of The Article V Convention have a letter that can be sent to congressmen and senators regarding the calling of the convention. FOAVC also encourage each and every one of us to contact our state legislatures and ask jus one of them to stand for state's rights and individual liberty and file suit.
Skeptics contend that Congress would not follow the new amendments should a convention be called and amendments ratified given their disdain for the Supreme Law of the Land. This is a valid contention. Should they continue to ignore the Constitution and the new amendments, perhaps secession would be the only remaining remedy.
For those of that have never heard of Mike Church, check him out here. He is a patriotic and brilliant American historian and political scientist. I have learned more from listening to his show the last 6 months than I learned in six years of college. If you are interested, he is conducting an Article V conference this Friday in Washington D.C.
"The time for talk and half measures is over!" -MDM An Article V Convention may be our last hope to preserve our republic.
God help us!
