CAUTION: Questionable Players in the Convention of States

January 30, 2014 Action Alerts

Stand Up to American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), Americans For Prosperity (AFP), Convention Of States (COS), Tea Party Patriots, Tea Party Caucus, Tea Party Express, Tea Party, Tea Party Nation, National Tea Party Federation, Tea Party Leadership Fund, and Freedomworks. ALEC is heavily involved with the Convention Of States (COS) a.k.a. Con-Con. Most of the legislators that went to Mount Vernon for the COS meeting in December 2013 were ALEC members. Congress will not obey the U.S. Constitution today. What makes you think that Congress would obey the Constitution if changes were made?

Is the Convention Of States connected to the Council On Foreign Relations?

Michael P. Farris is Head of Convention of the States Project, better known as a Constitutional Convention (Con-Con), and President of Parentalrights.org in which Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member Grover G. Norquist is the Director. Mr. Farris is also the advisory board member of Christian Freedom International. George Soros is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations with Grover P. Norquist.

Are the Convention Of States’ Key Supporters Connected to Common Core?

Some of the same key supporters of Convention Of States (COS) also support Common Core. To see the connection of Common Core to ALEC, Huckabee, National Governors’ Association and U.S. Department of Education, click here. Secure Arkansas’ opinion is that Mike Huckabee still appears to be supporting Common Core because he has a very complex stand on education. We agree with this Oklahoma educator who wrotean informative article to show Huckabee’s stance. Here is just one eye-opening paragraph from her article:

Huckabee admitted right up front on his show that he is losing a good sized chunk of his TV audience.

He then admitted and described a few, but not all, of the problems that are coming from Common Core Standards themselves. Huckabee said, “The term Common Core needs to disappear from the lexicon of education policy.”

But a name change won’t change the philosophy or the centralized control policies that have been put into place.

Remember the past? The names have changed, but the government control is the same. First, it was “Outcome-based Education”… then “Goals 2000″… then “No Child Left Behind”… and now “Common Core”.

We question Huckabee’s stance on Common Core, especially if he’s still endorsing the Convention of States. Here’s a link that shows his letter to Oklahoma lawmakers urging them to back Common Core. Also, Mike Huckabee is co-chairman of Alliance for a Healthier Generation which Bill, Hillary, & Chelsea Clinton Foundation co-founded. Click here to follow the dots. Mike Huckabee is also an advisory board member of Secure America Now with CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) member John R. Bolton and CFR member Devon Gaffney Cross. Click here to follow the dots.

Do you really trust these groups attempting to change our U.S. Constitution? It looks as though our state lawmakers have taken all the federal grant money they can get their hands on and have jeopardized our children with Common Core curriculum in this so-called Race to the Top.

ALEC Demands Lawmakers Pledge Allegiance – to ALEC December 10, 2013.

The State Chair must sign the ALEC form “The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) State Chair Job Description and Agreement” that appears on page 19 through 21 of the attached August 6, 2013 ALEC Board Meeting. One item in the ALEC Allegiance Pledge is “I will act with care and loyalty and put the interests of the organization first.” So, you see, the legislator loyalty is to ALEC and NOT the voters they are supposed to represent. Aren’t these legislators supposed to be safeguarding our Constitution?

The companies that are members of ALEC can be found by clicking here.

You need to know if your legislator has sold you out and pledged to do ALEC’s dirty work for Corporate America. ALEC legislator state chairs can be found by clicking here. The legislators with ALEC ties by U.S. state can be found by clicking here. If your legislator has ties to ALEC, it might be time for a change because their allegiance seems to be to ALEC and not to the voters that they represent.

Don’t let your legislator tell you that they can control or limit a Constitutional Convention (also known as an Article V Amendment Convention). That is a lie, and it is deceptive.

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.)

For Method 2 below, REMEMBER: the U.S. Congress decides the mode of ratification. The state legislators can be circumvented if the Congress calls for ratifying conventions. For the evidence showing the inability of the states to limit an Article V Convention, click here.

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.

Our legislators have sold us a pack of lies about the Convention of States (COS) that they have NEVER verified, and they’re selling it as truth.

Don’t take anyone’s word for it. Everyone needs to do their own research if they want to find the truth. If you want to email us about this article, please reference the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and/or federal laws that support your rebuttal.

Thanks for reading! Please remember to forward this email to everyone on your list.
