Typical liberal, when you can't defend your position you either change the subject or start slinging names. Jerk

GO LOKI...........

Not in 18.3 Trillion years will I v**e progressive......Oh! I'm sorry, that's the national debt. I meant to say not in fifteen months.

No, to answer your question. Most of us correctly use our credit cards. Many times the government needs to borrow money. I feel the problem is Washington's credit card has no limit. That must stop.

Google "Convention of States". Most don't know about or understand this part of the Constitution. My only point of joining this blog is to get more people interested in saving our Republic. We do have a way to return a lot of power to the States. It's going to take a lot of time and hard work but it can be done.....The left has been working for over 100 years to take down our Republic. It starts with our kids in the first grade. Man on a boat with hope.

I would guess you have not followed every thing I have said....

You do not need to copy and paste.....

Hey Loki....You sound like someone that cares about the Republic. Thanks for your comments.

If you are really interested in what the Convention of States is doing you might want to listen to the phone call that took place on Aug. 4th. With folks from all over the country It's one hour long so pop some corn

Here is the link. You will need to copy and past it.

Enjoy the day

Thanks for the tip....If you are really interested in the direction this country is headed I would suggest you google "Convention of States". If you think all is well.......don't. I am not an expert on the subject. I just know that I live in a Republic and that makes me, my county, my state and my country sovereign and I like it that way. If you do the google thing, let me khow your thoughts....Enjoy the rest of your day....

Very nebulous statement.....Nope

First of all Marvin it's not "my" Constitutional Convention. I only support the idea. One of the things that has been suggested lately are term limits on the Supreme Court. I feel there are a lot of issues that need to be looked at. Nothing will happen until 34 States agree to have the Convention. A long way to go.

Thanks Weewilly......Still trying to decide if I want to continue with the program. First day I was called a commy. That was new. Not that I can't take it, I can. Just not sure if I have that kind of time in my life if you know what I mean. I like your sign in. I have a 1910 double barrel 12G.
Do one thing for me...Enjoy the rest of your day. man on a boat.

Hey Slatten49...Thanks for the contact. Never fear, I think the last time someone got my Goat was sometime between 1961 and 1963. My current goal is to do what I can to save the Constitution.

The following article was originally published on The Washington Times.

Alabama has become the fourth state to pass legislation calling for a constitutional convention of states to limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government.

Last week’s move made Alabama the first state to pass such legislation this year after Georgia, Florida, and Alaska which passed the Convention of States resolution in 2014.

The Convention of States efforts hinges on Article V of the U.S. Constitution, which allows Congress to propose amendments and “on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, Congress shall call a convention for proposing amendments.”

Alabama’s resolution would impose fiscal restraints on the federal government and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress.

In a statement Thursday, Terry Richmond, Alabama legislative liaison said he was “overwhelmed by the support we received from both volunteers and legislators over the past few months. The dedication, vision, and prayers of every volunteer in the state, along with the hard work and commitment of our sponsors and their staff, is what made this victory possible. The people of Alabama should hold their heads high — they’ve implemented the Founders tool to fight federal overreach, and we’re one step closer to turning a Convention of States into a reality.”

Convention of States co-founder Mark Meckler said “The citizens of the great state of Alabama have stepped up and joined the movement to tell the federal government to back off by passing the Convention of States resolution by overwhelming majorities. Legislation is pending in many other states, with Texas and Kansas next in line. The citizens are speaking; it’s time for the states to put the federal government back in the box.”

Legislatures in 36 states have constitutional convention resolutions now making their way through committees and other parts of the legislative process.

At least 34 states, or two-thirds, must pass applications for a convention and ultimately would need a sign-off from Congress to hold a convention. Thirty-eight states must then ratify any amendment proposals coming out of such a convention.

To answer your question. Too old I guess. Third time's a charm. I am sorry.

The United States Constitution is unusually difficult to amend. As spelled out in Article V, the Constitution can be amended in one of two ways. First, amendment can take place by a v**e of two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate followed by a ratification of three-fourths of the various state legislatures (ratification by thirty-eight states would be required to ratify an amendment today). This first method of amendment is the only one used to date. Second, the Constitution might be amended by a Convention called for this purpose by two-thirds of the state legislatures, if the Convention's proposed amendments are later ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures.
