The Vote

My Dad saw things in simple profound terms, and simply would have known – and would have told us all - “You have to vote.”  That’s about all he would have said about it. …and, in recollection I would add, even if a horse falls on you. “Don’t let them forget…”

Article V -  States called Convention to Propose Amendments image


                       Article V of the US constitution is as follows:

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.

                                                                           There are Only Two Methods To Ratify Any Amendment

Both methods of amending our US constitution are equally valid and provided by the US Constitution. The first requires 2/3rds our US Congress to make proposals for amendment while the second requires 2/3rds of the state legislatures to call a convention of states to propose amendments. Ratification requirements for any and all proposed amendments are identical whether proposed by our US Congress or a Convention of the States. The identical ratification process requires 3/4ths of the states legislatures or 3/4ths of the conventions in the states. This ultimately provides necessary protections to prevent a runaway US Congress or Convention of the States from dramatically changing our US Constitution. It should be noted that the only two methods of changing our US Constitution both are limited to amending it and do not allow for a Constitutional Convention or “CON CON”.  Any proposed amendment/s coming out of either method requires ratification of 3/4ths of the States Legislatures or 3/4ths of Conventions in the States as directed by the US Congress before becoming permanent part of the US Constitution.
Why Call for An Article V  Convention Of The States? image
Why Should our State call for an Article V  Convention to propose Amendments?

ANSWER: Because ALL of US ARE CREATED EQUAL and Our Creator Gave Us the Unalienable Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness !!!

Working together We The People can bring the USA back into compliance of this fundamental principle.

The federal government is out of control, operating far beyond the scope of its specific, enumerated powers. Simply trying to elect "the right people" is a strategy that has proven unsuccessful.

The problems we now face are the result of constitutional noncompliance through interpretations that subjectively capitalize on ambiguities in the wording of some phrases (i.e. the General Welfare Clause or Commerce Clause and others). If we correct these ambiguities by clarifying the Founding Father's original intentions regarding the limitations of federal power, we can restore the federal government to its proper, limited role.

An Article V Convention of the States is the very recourse given to us by the Founding Fathers to correct a federal government that abuses its powers. Our Founders recognized the probability that the federal government would one day become oppressive and they knew that should the federal government become tyrannical; it would never propose the kind of amendments that would put a stop to its own tyranny. That is why they entrusted us with this process to restore the balance of power between the federal and state governments.

An Article V Convention of the States can restore power that is rightfully We The Peoples’ under the Constitution.

There are some who say an Article V Convention of the States is just some kooky idea dreamed up by some fringe group. Just a few years ago the Convention of the States was just an idea. As of July 2020, these 15 states; Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas, Utah and Mississippi have passed the Convention of the States Action Resolution in both houses and made application to Congress to call for an Article V Convention of the States.

Victor Hugo once wrote " There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come and this idea is way over do! "

This is a grass roots movement that is rapidly growing.

You have a historic role to play. You can become one of the Re-founding Mothers and Fathers of this nation.

BE One Of The US Citizen Protecting Our Right to Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness !
