Dangerous New Constitutional Convention Proposal

What good would rewriting the Constitution do if our politicians can't follow the one we have already? What would be the effect of Soros's money if there were a Constitutional Convention? Is this the time to try and get delegates to a convention when the country is so divided?

Members of Congress have introduced H.Con.Res.101 and HR 8419, to call an Article V Constitutional Convention, or Con-Con, which would decimate the Constitution and the God-given freedoms it protects. Deceptively, the resolution aggregates old, unrelated Con-Con resolutions.

House Concurrent Resolution 101 (H.Con.Res.101) is sponsored by Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) and cosponsored by Yvette Herrell (R-N.M.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.). If passed by the House and Senate, it would call “a Convention for proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States,” and require Congress to “set the date and place for the Convention to occur” within 180 days after the U.S. Archivist certifies that at least 34 states have applied for a Con-Con.

Additionally, HR 8419, sponsored by the same three representatives, directs the U.S. Archivist o count the number of Con-Con applications and then certify that Congress must convene a convention if over two-thirds of the states have applied for one. (The resolution takes rescissions into account, but it doesn’t distinguish between different application subjects.)

Importantly, H.Con.Res.101 deceptively reaches the 34-state threshold for calling a convention by aggregating “Balanced Budget Amendment” (BBA) applications with unrelated — and in many cases, centuries-old — applications for a plenary convention. The resolution states:

Whereas congressional and State records of purported plenary applications for amendments on any subject and applications for single subject Fiscal Responsibility Amendments compiled by the Article V Library list 42 total applications over time, 39 active applications in 1979, 40 active applications in 1983, and at least 34 active applications in many years thereafter[.]

Despite mentioning “Fiscal Responsibility Amendments” (FRA) in its preamble, H.Con.Res.101 does not limit the scope of the convention to only BBA or FRA Con-Con applications — there is nothing stopping Congress from considering any other topic in the Constitutional Convention it would fall under the resolution.

Additionally, every so-called “balanced budget amendment” proposal includes loopholes or escape clauses that would easily allow Congress to continue to increase spending and/or raise taxes. In other words, these amendments would make an unbalanced budget constitutional!

Commenting on H.Con.Res.101, one Con-Con proponent claimed the resolution was “designed to restore federal fiscal sanity.” However, as shown above, this claim is false. Rather, all Congress needs to do is to end its wasteful and unconstitutional spending; if it does this, federal spending would likely decrease by at least 80%, thus quickly eliminating our nation’s fiscal problems.

It is strange, but many have been fooled into thinking a Constitutional Convention or Convention of States is a good idea. This includes some members of the Republican party. In fact, there's a proposal before Congress right now! They are named House Concurrent Resolution 101 and HR 8419. There are good at making creative names like "the inflation reduction act" adding 700 billion to our debt.
This proposal could have serious implications for your personal liberty. Like removing every privately owned gun!

But the Democrats are on drugs, SPENDING DRUGS. They can only be stopped by v****g them out of control, that is your job!

Liberty Tree

Calm down. It will never get through Congress.

Famous last words, in a few hours congress will pass another 700 Billon spending bill called the "Debt reduction Bill" lol.
This bill will create 87,000 NEW IRS agents, all well armed and they will audit only those making under 87,000. It will put a big tax on all corporations and you. So, like in the past, many jobs will move out of America.
Trump worked his ass off trying to get them to come back. How sad are we?

O' I think they are ringing my doorbell as we speak.
