The U.S. Congress, funded by corporate interests, the Federal Reserve, the Tri-Lateral Commission, the Bilderberg group, nor the World Trade Organization are figments of our imagination. And all the individuals within these organizations--whether they're conscious of it or not--are going to turn this entire globe into one big jail cell, for you and I to work just enough to remain alive as slaves. Things don't just happen willy-nilly out there in the world, each day we're being moved towards a place where we'll finally be caught and locked down.
How do we expect Congress to issue the call for the Article V Convention? It won't, and never will, unless and until enough Americans start calling for it. All we need is a tipping-point, somewhere between 20-30 million Americans with it firmly in mind, and advocating for it. If you put "Article V Convention" into a Google Alert, you'll see it's on the rise, Americans are thinking of it. Still many more are afraid of it, so we're either going to rally enough of us to demand this right, or we'll lose it. Not in a bang, but as a poet once said, --in a whimper." And it'll happen within our lifetime--unless we do something about it. If those who died in the American Revolutionary War came back here today, they'd look at some of us, backhand the pacifier out of our mouth, and crack us in the head with the butt of their musket (or a broom handle or big wooden spoon, as the case may be, as women died winning our freedoms as well). They'd say, "What the [beep] are doing? Get out there and start talking convention." Send letters, faxes, telegrams, call into radio shows, and inform others of this right. And of course, if they show their face, attempt to ask your representative in person.
What's our best hope once the convention is called? The amendment we need right now more than anything is one that secures the electoral process from private/corporate interests so the will of the people is transparent, loud, and accurately expressed. Why have a dozen different kinds of private voting machines? Why not the official U.S. Voting Unit, built to specification, paper trail, and all? Right now we have "Faith-Based Voting"--we have to trust privately owned ES&S/Diebold aren't engineering results, as they now tally 80%+ of all votes cast nationwide.
If you have fifty people in a room, and everyone is relying on each other to get their data straight--you wouldn't say, "Hey Joe from Idaho, go register voters and count your votes how you think best. Mary from Alabama, you do it how you want...." No. We'd say, OK this is how we're all registering voters, and this is how we're all tallying votes. By creating uniform standards we reduce the points of failure and increase accuracy. We have federal standards for food and drugs, why not The Vote? That's our voice, indeed that's the foundation of our freedom, because if you don't have transparent elections, you don't have a free society. The two are one and the same thing. When all is said and done, such a non-partisan amendment is the only thing that could possibly be ratified today with everyone so freaked out about everything else.
We're all taught that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are our two most important founding documents. What we're not taught is that the former was written into the latter--the Article V Convention. The genius of the Constitution is that it provides for a peaceable reformation. It's convention or bust. We either use it or lose it, and become farm animals awaiting further enslavement, and perhaps even slaughter.
