Interstate Compact to apply for an Article V Convention
Compact for America is pushing a complicated interstate compact to apply to Congress to call an Article V Convention also known as a Con-Con.
HB 2328 establishes a compact among the several States for the purpose of proposing a balanced budget amendment to the United States Constitution.
HB 2328 was assigned the House of Representatives Rules Committee to be heard TODAY, Monday, February 18, 2013 at 1:00 pm.
They may bring it to a quick vote or
be in debates for several hours. We can’t take chances!!!
It could be passed through committee today!
Once it hits the House floor, it takes a miracle to stop it !!
CALLS NEEDED NOW!
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 nor 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, hence, their power may not in any respect be limited or restrained by the legislature. Under this view, it is a Legislative Body of the Highest Order (4)
Legislators are being told, and 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, re: 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 can NOT get our guns without throwing out the entire Constitution!!! If we lose that, everybody, including state legislators, loses their freedom.
Are they willing to play Russian Roulette with a loaded chamber?
PRIORITY # 1
Adam Kwansman (R) (602) 926-5839
Message: Please table HB2328, the Interstate Compact for an Article V Convention. It won’t achieve a balanced federal budget, and puts our Constitution at risk. Most importantly, our Bill of Rights . . . YOUR Bill of Rights are at stake here!
Don’t believe what ALEC & Rob Natelson say. Natelson, in his book, wrote that “Of course, abuses of the Article V amendment processes are possible.”
In the Committee hearings last year, he told the committee that “the possiblity of abuse is no reason to vote against it” He knows a Convention is not safe!
Here’s the $64,000 dollar Question:
How could you believe the government will pay any attention to an amendment when they’re trampling the entire Constitution and ignoring Our Bill of Rights every day? It’s like playing Russian Routlette with a loaded chamber!
