Vote No on HJR1001 and HJR1003 Convention of the States / Article V (Con-Con)

February 27, 2015 Constitutional Convention

Vote NO on HJR 1001, “An Application by the General Assembly Under Article V of the United States Constitution for a Convention for Proposing Amendments”

AND

Vote NO on HJR 1003, “An Application For a Convention of the States Under Article V of the Constitution of the United States”.

The Convention of the States (COS) is an Article V Constitutional Convention (Con-Con) supported and funded by the elitists.

Say No to HJR1001 and HJR1003.

A new constitution is already to replace our existing Constitution called the “Constitution for the Newstates of America”.

In 1964, the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, an offshoot of the Ford Foundation, began writing a “New Constitution.” It took ten years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to write and is supported by the Rockefeller group.

Proposed Constitutional Model for the Newstates of America to replace the U.S. Constitution.
A 2-step blueprint for converting the U.S.A. from a
- Republic (freedom for minority groups) to a
- Democracy (control of the minority by the majority), then to an
- Oligarchy (dictatorship by a small group).
- It is a document you should know and understand to comprehend the planning to subvert your freedom in America.

All of this was anticipated in July 1792 in Philip Freneau’s editorial in the National Gazette.

The Constitutional Convention, or Con-Con, that’s being sold to the legislators is a lie and has to be stopped. Look at George Soros’ Assault on the Constitution. There is an effort funded by billionaire George Soros to push for a new “progressive” U.S. Constitution by the year 2020. Don’t fall for the lies of the elitists. Say NO to a Con-Con or whatever label they attach to it.

U.S. Constitution Article V

Under Article V (five) of the Constitution, our founding fathers established two methods for future generations to add amendments to the Constitution.

Method 1: Two-thirds of both houses of Congress can propose an amendment, and then three-fourths of the states ratify it… or not. (This is the only safe method.)

Method 2: Two-thirds (34) of the states call for a federal constitutional convention, and then three-fourths of the states ratify whatever amendments are proposed by the convention. (This method must be avoided at all costs. This method could lead to a runaway convention in which our original Constitution would be scrapped and a new Constitution would be substituted consequently stripping us from our bill of rights.)

There is a proposed Constitution already waiting for the New States of America.

Say NO to a Con-Con

The Con-Con is being introduced in various forms, and they are as follows:

National Debt
Constitutional Convention (Old and Outdated)
Balanced Budget
Article V Amendment Convention
Compact for America
National Debt Reduction Act (NDRA)
Mark Levin’s book, The Liberty Amendments (Article V Amendment Convention)
Convention of States (COS)

Chief Justice Warren Burger said: ”There is no effective way to limit or muzzle the actions of a Constitutional Convention. The convention could make its own rules and set its own agenda. Congress might try to limit the convention to one amendment or to one issue, but there is no way to assure that the convention would obey. After a convention is convened, it will be too late to stop the convention if we don’t like its agenda. The meeting in 1787 ignored the limit placed by the confederation Congress ‘for the sole and express purpose’.”

Reason 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

The members of a Constitutional Convention are the direct representatives of the people and, as such, they may exercise all sovereign powers that are vested in the people of the state.

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.

Citations:

•(1) Mississippi (1892) Sproule v. Fredericks; 11 So. 472

•(2) Iowa (1883) Koehler v. Hill; 14 N.W. 738

•(3) West Virginia (1873) Loomis v. Jackson; 6 W. Va. 613

•(4) Oklahoma (1907) Frantz v. Autry; 91 p. 193

•(5) Texas (1912) Cox v. Robison; 150 S.W. 1149

Once 34 states pass a bill asking for an Amendment Convention in which they are requesting a Constitutional Convention, we will have the possibility of a runaway convention.

There is no way to control a Constitutional Convention or the outcome.

Ford and Rockefeller Foundation spent $25 million and 10 years writing a constitution called “The New States Constitution”.

Dangers of a Con-Con:

With a Constitutional Convention, the whole Constitution can be thrown out and a new one substituted in its place.
With a Constitutional Convention, it is the delegates who control the outcome.
You can NEVER trust the delegates with the Constitution. The outcome of a Constitutional Convention is always worse and not what you would expect.

Past History:

There has been only one Constitutional Convention in the history of the nation – that was in 1787. At the time, the nation was held together by the Articles of Confederation. The states were having a difficult time performing commerce among themselves, so it was decided to hold a Constitutional Convention to simply discuss how interstate commerce might be better organized. As the delegates were selected, delegations from a majority of states were given specific orders by their states to discuss nothing else beyond the commerce issue.
However, some delegates including James Madison had a very specific agenda planned for the convention, and as soon as the delegates arrived at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, they closed and locked the door, pulled down the shades, and met in secret for a month. When they were finished, they had created an entirely new nation. We were very lucky that the convention was attended by men like Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Madison. They produced the most magnificent document ever devised for the governance of man.

Safe Solution:

States must enforce, not revise, the Constitution!
Find and support candidates who understand the Constitution, obey it, and agree to work to dismantle the unconstitutional federal apparatus.
The states must rein in our out-of-control federal government by enforcing the Constitution through nullification of unconstitutional federal laws, rather than by revising the Constitution through an inherently risky constitutional convention process.
We must be forceful and vigilant in demanding that our legislators obey their oath of office to the Constitution. The legislators cannot be allowed to rewrite the very document that is our last protection against total destruction of our God-given unalienable rights.

Say NO to an Article V Amendment Convention (Con-Con)!

Ending Statements:

Only an Amendments or Article V Convention ITSELF CAN LEGALLY MAKE ITS OWN RULES – not an Interstate Compact, per U.S. Constitution, Article V.
If Congress willfully ignores the authority of the U.S. Constitution now, why would we expect it to obey the Constitution when amended?
A NEW CONSTITUTION was already devised in 1970 by the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions and funded by the Ford Foundation!
Billionaire George Soros has VOWED to replace the U.S. Constitution by year 2020 and is in a position to take advantage of a convention to do so.
The ratification process originally required 100% of the states to ratify amendments. Now it is set to 75%. This weakening precedent exists and holds weight in future conventions
Say NO to all Con-Cons!
