Politicians are hypocrites. It sickens me when they take the oath of office to defend the Constitution from foreign and domestic enemies. Yet they are the one's who want to tear the Constitution apart. You can't pick and choose what amendments you want to keep. It's all or none. The Right to Bear Arms is the Second Amendment to the Constitution, 2nd to the most important one, the First, which is freedom of speech. Because if you allow these hypocrites to repeal one, they can repeal all of them. All it takes is for everyone to call their House Reps and Senators to voice your concern. You can never, ever trust a Politician.

Originally posted by donpablo View PostI'm afraid I have to disagree. Someone on here opened my eyes to the reality that almost every time the D's and R's work together, it costs us taxpayers more or disappoints. Example: All 3 branches in 2020 unanimously declared states too incompetent to manage their own animal cruelty laws. You may not want to hear it but Jer_James is probably right when he says politicians see themselves as the ruling class and everyone else as subjects.

It's not R vs D (both bad). It's not globalist vs populist (both bad). And it's not ideologue vs compromiser (both of those are bad too). We should vote for freedom, rather than tyranny. Vote for people who TRULY want to uphold the Constitution, not just give it campaign season lip service. Vote for people who are in favor of TRULY limiting government's power.
As stated above, Article V Constitutional Convention is the only way to get there. Research the movement. Amending the Constitution in the targeted ways that group is working on would reduce the government overreach that all 3 branches of government has grabbed over the last several decades. And an Article V convention is the only way we will ever be able to bypass all 3 branches of government to put them back into their proper place and regain power and control for the people instead of the bureaucracies.

Originally posted by RJH1 View PostIt needs to be Constitutionalist, and neither side is. Both sides step on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and people seem to be ok with it as long as it is their side doing the stepping.
Whoever the president is and who is in congress should matter way less than who is the governor and in the state house, but they should matter less than who is the mayor and county commissioners, etc. Problem is both sides seem to want a king, and seem to want self government to be a thing of the past.

LoL we need to start voting differently now? As if voting means anything any more? They stole the presidential election. They stole the Georgia Senate runoff in the same fashion. They stole the power and they will not let it go. I'm afraid we were complacent for way too long and now voting is just a farce.

Originally posted by Landrover View Postgood point! Odd how the Constitutional convention talk all went away. It is more important now than ever. That is the ONLY reset that needs to take place........by putting the bureaucracies back into their proper place on the hierarchy of control/power.
Article V offers the only constitutional solution as big as the problem. Together, we can end federal overreach.
As the left begins lurching full speed toward socialism, especially at the federal level, it should be an easier sell for some of these other states to join this effort.

Originally posted by Shane View PostYes sir. Texas Legislature has already passed and Abbott already signed a resolution for Texas to join the effort. Several other states have as well. Just gotta get 34 states to join the effort, and then it's on. Right now, 15 states have passed resolutions, 8 have passed in 1 chamber, and 4 more have active legislation in the works. If all those pass, that makes 27. If you have friends and family in other states, educate them on it.

Originally posted by txpitdog View PostIt’s not even populist vs globalist. It needs to be people who may differ in opinion but are willing to work together to solve a problem vs those that are so hardline extremist that they shutdown any meaningful improvement whatsoever. Cooperative vs divisive.
