Constitutional Convention

TERM LIMITS FOR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES. DO IT.

The reform of taxpayer funded parasitic programs is very important. We have allowed a cancer to grow in our country, and now we must rid ourselves of it. No, not the people. I’m referring to the mindset that any and all needs are to be met by the government.

Very bad idea. Prepare to have your right stripped

This is a legal and honest way to go about amending the Constitution.

I prefer it to the way amendments have been done lately, via having SCOTUS pretend it says what it does not. That is dishonest and undemocratic.

No real point to any of this, no matter what you pass liberals will say the constitution is a living document and says what we want it to say (see abortion, fig marriage)

I have been following the CotS movement and their primary goal is a balanced budget amendment. I would like to see a repeal of all amendments passed after 1900 except the 20th and 22nd. In place of the 27th I would propose the Congress receive no compensation of any kind beyond a per diem while Congress is in session and no Congressman may lobby the federal gov for five years after retiring from Congress.

I want an amendment setting forth a peaceful secession process

Shouldn't need another avenue to secession. It was already written in.

There is a real push that is growing to hold one of these. Not just on a Federal level but on many state levels, to amend state constitutions as well.

Yeah well good luck getting anything to actually PASS on the Fed level. If you look at the history of getting the original passed you'll find it went back and forth a while with some serious wavering and that was just 13 states. The current Congress (both House and Senate) can't get together about a lunch or dinner without serious verbal fighting.

At the State level, much the same thing, too much infighting to get anything done. What they do change usually backfires anyway.

So yeah, go ahead and give those mental midgets a weapon like a constitutional convention and watch them shoot themselves in the foot over and over. Now that'd be entertaining!

Caveman from TX and the illiterate woman from Houston are really gonna help lead Texas to a brighter, IMPEACH HIM, future, RACIST.

All for it.

It will either work, or it will demonstrate that the government has grown too powerful, leading to a new secession movement.

That's not a very nice way to talk about Central and South American immigrants.
