A Convention Threatens Our Rights!

A constitutional convention (aka a Con-Con, an Article V convention, or a convention of states) would threaten our rights. That’s because our rights are secured by the Constitution, and a constitutional convention would have the power to become a “runaway” convention that could completely change the Constitution. How do we know such a convention could become a “runaway”? Remember we have voting laws that make it a simple matter for citizens to vote....how did that just work out? The left makes up laws on the fly, a Con-Con convention will be taken over by the left in a day and every part will be open to their interpretation, the 10 amendments will be history. You saw how the Republicans fought to defend Trump...yeah right. Well, the same thing will come to pass.

1. There’s the precedent of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which completely rewrote the Articles of Confederation and changed the ratification procedure; and
2. There’s the right of the sovereign people meeting in convention to alter or abolish their form of government (as stated in the Declaration of Independence), which could include rewriting the Constitution and changing the ratification procedure.

BBA is Too Close for Comfort
The Balanced Budget Amendment is being used to get 34 states needed to force Congress to call a risky, runaway-prone constitutional convention. Conservatives and their allies must work with state legislators to prevent the calling of a constitutional convention ever since the movement to call a constitutional convention for proposing a Balanced Budget Amendment reached its high-water mark of 32 states in 1983 with “live” applications for such a convention.

Thankfully, many states have canceled their applications for a BBA constitutional convention since 1983. However, enough states have also applied or re-applied for such a convention to bring us to 28 states with a “live” application. Still too close for comfort! If you don't work to save America who will?

WATCH THIS.

Concern for sure but unlikely given the make up of say this present administration... likewise more people are paying attention to what goes on now... Education of what this Article V means is very important..

You think climbing into further and further debt without a cap is the way to go? This came about from the GOP, when ironically they're the ones who usually do the overspending, quite the catch catcher's can. Since Clinton, and under Bush's tax breaks we've been in the red ever since. The best thing Biden can do for us is to go back to that tax base under Clinton. It's always right on track of the republicans not bringing up the debt until the democrat gets back in office, interesting huh.

We all have to balance our books and stay within budget, I think the government should too. But I also thinkit's a good idea to include emergency funds when needed and certainly not just for war.

You blame the Trump tax cuts for the increase in the deficit. True, Congress has done massive spending to fight the corona pandemic and to try to offset the financial burden of those suffering from the lockdowns and business closures. The Trump tax cuts actually increased revenue to the government. Unfortunately, Congress continues to spend well beyond any revenue increases. We need to get Congress to quit spending with such reckless abandon. Both parties are equally culpable.

They never did, they fed the oligarchs and our debt had been climbing up for years before the pandemic, even when the economy was on a rise Trump did nothing to resolve the debt, he perpetuated it and with nothing to show for it but an incomplete waste of a wall.

Covid, I'm not talking about covid, those are unusual circumstances, just as a recession recovery was that Obama had to adjust for. Yet he was accused of overspending his entire term even though he's the one who turned the economy around with no help from the right, who instead of helping, gave him opposition, which created a much slower recovery, but he succeeded in spite of it.

I'm talking about the current "covid relief bill" that just passed the House. Read the pork, put in by the Majority Party, not history. Quit beating the same old drum.

We need Clean bills.

What same old drum? Getting rid of our debt? I agree clean bills would be great, especially one without tails. I've mentioned this before, not to give money away to people who are in no way suffering or doing without.

Do you only follow what the MSM and Democrats feed you? If it is, I advise you to pull your head out and read the actual numbers from the Treasury Department. The Trump tax cuts increased the revenue to the Treasury. Trump can't spend any money, all spending comes from the House of Representatives. Until you can admit that the deficit problem is not caused by the tax cuts (which were more than offset by the record numbers of people working and paying taxes) and were caused because Congress is incapable of limiting spending to be equal to or less than revenue coming in. I don't totally blame Democrats (although they do spend more than Republicans), the Republicans are just as guilty of overspending.
Too many Americans have followed the government example, that's why personal debt is so high. I have friends who took out student loans, carry balances on multiple credit cards and have big mortgages on their homes. I followed a different path. I learned from my parents and grandparents self-reliance and budgeting. My cars may not be the latest, fanciest models but they were paid for out right, no loans. I bought my house without a mortgage or loan of any kind. It's not the biggest, but I don't need a mansion. It is 133 years old and solidly built. They knew how to build to keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer without fancy furnaces or air conditioning systems. I paid my way through college on my own, no student debt. I may not fit your definition of rich, but most of them just break even when you take into account their assets minus their debts. I have my assets and no debts, so I guess I win.
