Comments
Constitutional Convention? Sounds like an opportunity for all kinds of mischief.
-lets also repeal the 16th amendment
-ban energy taxes
-allow federal recall by direct recall vote of 2/3 of citizens to remove federal congress members and the president
-restore gun rights by banning concealed weapons permits and making the 2nd amendment "shall not be infrigined" a little clearer to those idoits by saying the right to bear arms shall not be constrained by anything and its an absolute right to be extended into every courner of America
- apply lieing to congress to apply to those in congress during their testomonies to press and before others
a constitutional convention would be the end of it. An amemdment proposed through our congressional delegation is the proper way.
