Say NO to an Article V Amendment Convention

August 22, 2013 Article V Amendment Convention, Constitutional Convention

Print This Article

Can YOU handle the truth contained in this article?  Read the information below, then do a search for yourself. 
 
Mark Levin, talk show host of the Mark Levin Show sponsored by Americans For Prosperity, has just come out with a new book, The Liberty Amendments.  Mark’s book promotes an Article V Amendment Convention (Con-Con). 
 
No thanks, Mark.  This is a dangerous position.  The Constitutional Convention is how the Articles of Confederation got replaced.  Mark is wrong. Americans for Prosperity is wrong.  American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is wrong.  Do a Google search for “Controlled Opposition” and then follow the money.  Both political parties are involved.  “The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.” – Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
 

The following YouTube video presentation provides both the problem and a solution:    

The Quigley Formula – G. Edward Griffin lecture  (Preview)

After you have listened to the Quigley Formula YouTube video presentation, you should have a better understanding about what is going on in America and have an open mind on what is being presented below.
 
 
“Anyone who doesn’t take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.” 
Albert Einstein
 
 
Many grassroots, Tea Party, and Christian groups are being infiltrated with progressive ideas by people presenting themselves as Conservatives, Christians, or Patriots.  We must all be truth seekers.  Don’t  accept any information without checking out both the message AND the person.  That includes everything.  Just because someone claims to be something doesn’t mean they are.  Everyone and everything needs to be vetted.  Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow, but it is the truth. 
 
Citizens for Self-Governance launches a new project to call a convention of states to implement Mark Levin’s “Liberty Amendments” Strategy.  This is calling for a Convention of the States via Article V Amendment Convention.  (Any Article V Amendment Convention is dangerous and could turn into a runaway convention.)   Michael P. Farris is in charge of this project. 
 
The leadership team is: 
Mark Meckler – President
Michael P. Farris – Senior Fellow for Constitutional Studies, Head of Convention of the States Project
Mark Wohlschlegel II – Executive Director
Laura Fennig – Coalitions Director
Jordan Sillars – Communications Director
 
With all that being said, we have checked out Michael P. Farris and Grover G. Norquist because Norquist is the Director of ParentalRights.org of which Farris is the President.
 
Grover G. Norquist is a key player for the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).  Norquist CFR membership can be confirmed from CFR’s own web site.  
 
Grover G. Norquist is the Director of ParentalRights.org  of which Michael P. Farris is the President.  Michael P. Farris surely would have vetted Norquist before he made him director, so he should have known he was a CFR member.  Remember:  it is the Council on Foreign Relations that controls policy in the U.S.A.

Reasons why we must NOT promote an Article V Amendment  Convention:
There is no provision in Article V empowering state legislators to choose the delegates to a Constitutional Convention or to “limit” the scope of a Con-Con.  There are no rules, no regulations or instructions, and once a Convention is underway, the delegates answer to NOBODY!

According to Corpus Juris Secundum 16 C.J.S 9 (a compilation of State Supreme Court findings): 

The members of a Constitutional Convention are the direct representatives of the people, and as such

(1)  They may exercise all sovereign powers that are vested in the people of the state. 
(2)  They derive their powers not from the legislature, but from the people. 
(3)  Their power may not in any respect be limited or restrained by the legislature.
(4)  Under this view, it is a Legislative Body of the Highest Order and may not only frame, but may
        also enact and promulgate.           
Legislators are being told, and they believe, that they will be able to control a Convention!  IT’S A LIE!!!

For the past 225 years, the Constitution has been amended without a convention because the risks of a repeat of 1787 has been, and still is, a well-known FACT.

Govenor Mike Levitt (Utah) said it outright in his 1994 White Paper regarding the planned Conference of States to be held in “historic Philadelphia” in ’95:

“CONGRESS TRIED TO LIMIT THE CONVENTION’S AUTHORITY by stating it would meet ‘for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation‘.”  

“As we all know, the delegates to the great Constitutional Convention in 1787 in Philadelphia did much more than that. They threw out the Articles of Confederation and drafted a new constitution.“

Obama wants our guns!  Under the 2nd Amendment, he CANNOT get our guns without throwing out the entire Constitution!  If we lose that, everybody, including state legislators, loses their freedom.

The following shows the connection that the Koch Brothers, Mark Levin, and Americans for Prosperity have with each other. You need to know who the players are that are operating behind the scenes.  Americans for Prosperity   
 
 
Kenneth C. Griffin was a contributor to Americans for Prosperity and also a Fundraiser for both the John McCain and Barack Obama 2008 Presidential Campaign. Griffin was also a major contributor to the Rahm Emanuel 2011 Mayoral Campaign.
