You must have been inspired by the comment that I think Sarah wrote, as I was. I wrote a somewhat similar piece, titled The Biggest Change Will Be Lasting Change.

once the required # of applications (2/3 states) is received by Congress. Congress has received 567 applications from all 50 states, well over 300 since the 60's. Every 2 years we have a new Congress, and every Congress, Dem or Rep, including Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul, has been treasonously derelict in their duty to call a Convention. There have been 2 lawsuits over this: Bill Walker v. United States, in which a Fed District Court ruled that Congress doesn't have to obey the Constitution, and the 2nd in 2004 when Walker sued every member of Congress- all members at that time asked the US to defend them; none upheld their Oath of office and called for a Convention. In 2006 the SCOTUS denied certiorari; they refused to hear the case

Now Walker and other supporters of the Constitution have formed FOAVC.org, focused on raising awareness and educating the public in order to increase public pressure. Our "representatives" don't care for the Constitution, but they all care about their reputations, reelection and future career prospects. They don't fear God, but they fear exposure and public opinion. Here's is FOAVC.org's mission statement:

http://foavc.org/file.php/1/Articles/MissionStatement.htm

Article V of the U.S. Constitution:  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.

Erik, Thanks for your support for Article V.

Have you seen the scanned images of Article V Applications  that FOAVC.ORG has been digging up and making copies of (from the National Archives, dating back to the late 1700s)?   For example.

I think when we finish, there will actually be more applications than we originally thought existed.

What's all suspicious about this is that way Congress (whose job it is to track these applications to know when 34 states have applied) has buried these applications in tens of thousands of pages in thousands of volumes of the Congressional Records.   Thus, after researching this, it turns out that more than 34 different states have submitted amendment applications several times.  The BALANCED BUDGET Amendment was requested 104 times by 37 different states.  It's clear that Congress is flagrantly violating Article V of the U.S. Constitution.  

However, the voters are culpable too.
After all, it makes no sense for voters to give Congress 9% approval ratings, but then reward irresponsible incumbent politicians with 85%-to-90% re-election rates.

Article V is only one of several Constitutional Violations, and other abuses, all of which are only now starting to result in dozens of deteriorating economic conditions;  some that have never been worse ever and/or since the 1930s and 1940s. 

Unfortunately, 40% of voters don't vote at all.
Too many of those that vote, blindly pull the party-lever, repeatedly rewarding irresponsible incumbent politicians with perpetual re-election.
There is simply too much corruption in government, and too many voters tolerate it.

Perhaps enough voters will be less apatheic, complacent, blindly partisan, ignorant, irrationally fearful, and lazy when enough of the voters are jobless, homeless, and hungry?  

At any rate, the voters have the government that the voters elect (and deserve).

It's the only way we can accomplish a peaceful revolution, to establish those God-given rights Adamson talks about in his updated Declaration of Independence.

SPREAD THE WORD!

I just found before reading this, Adamson in my bookmarks.  There are a lot of bookmarks.  His declaration is right on.  Then I read his little known history of America, and sent it to all my email contacts.  I couldn't find anything he said about some important things in Daniel.  And he does not mention the 2 olive branches who this establishment may yet kill in Revelation 11.  But if his real name is Michael; I'll let him be the prince of Daniel 12:1, who is the child in Revelation 12 too.

Of course, some dyed-in-the-wool Christians, Muslims and Jews probably will still reject him for awhile, but most good Christians Muslims and Jews will recognize the Spirit of truth in his work. And most Hindus, Buddhists, Taoists and others will too.

He does, after all, serve the interests of Divinity and Humanity as a whole, and especially the poor and the least of our brethren.

And, even if he were not a servant of God, he is indeed a servant of the people, and his Updated Declaration of Independence is absolutely in the best interests of ALL of us. But then, that also proves he is a servant of God.

Michael, I believe a good part of the book of Revelation is symbolic, symbolizing what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen.

Some of it is quite literal, of course. We have indeed been suffering from wars and the "seven plagues" (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, diseases, pestilence, floods, droughts and famine), and the "many other terrible things" that Jesus foresaw would occur prior to the establishment of the new "kingdom."

The things for us to keep in mind and have faith in now, are these:

Good will triumph over evil that masquerades as good;

The Wisdom of the poor man is better than the strength of the rich fools;

Truth will prevail over myths, false beliefs and lies;

The Pen shall prove mightier than the Sword;

The Humble, Gentle, Meek and Faithful shall inherit the earth;

We will make peace, reconcile differences, and make amends;

We will transform our "swords" into "plowshares";

And finally the time will come when we will rejoice that at last God’s will shall be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

 But there is no way that the 2 olive branches who this establishment may yet kill is symbolic.  The 7th trumpet is in both Rev 10 and 11.  So those 2 olive branches will have something to do with the 7 peals of thunder.  Those peals of thunder are rock and roll and their words were kept secret for our time.  You can find some of those words in Rev. 22:10-11 where John is told not to conceal them, and then quotes a Beatles song "Let it Be" basically.  What I am trying to say is that Michael who it says will arise in Daniel 12:1 is 1 of those olive branches, and is the child of Rev 12.  He most likely is the branch of Isaiah 4, Jeremiah 23, and 33:15 and Zechariah 3 and 5.  The leader who will be one of them in Jeremiah 30:21-24.

But just because Adamson doesn't mention those imporatant verses does not mean I don't like what he is about.  It would be a good idea to have 6 elected man and 6 elected women in the executive  branch.

I would just like to expand on some truth with I have found, with people on the same wave length.  Like this country song, "God blest us by rocking down angels from the promised land like a horn (todays establishment) dragged stars and hosts out of heaven and trampled them as humans in Daniel 8;9-14 which was kept secret for these latter days we are in.  it says twice in Daniel 8 that the vision of 8:9-14 was about these times, and was kept secret in 8:26.

I don't know whether Adamson will go into the kind of details you bring up. Perhaps he will, but I've noticed that he's indicated that his health has been deteriorating ("suffering for the iniquity of his people, as Isaiah put it), so he may not if he's not able.

After all, as Isaiah foresaw and wrote, the modern son of man has been stricken and afflicted, and as Jesus foresaw and said, the modern son of man has first suffered many things and been rejected by his generation. He's suffered many things indeed, and yet he has not grown weary even after two and half decades of trying to deliver the message.

But, whether he does go into more detail or not, I appreciate your attention to details, and I deeply appreciate your support for his work. I'm sure he would appreciate your support too. God bless you Michael.

I agree we need a new Declaration Of Independence and Constitution. We should use Venezuela's Constitution as a model.

That's what we need, and we can do that through calling for a Constitutional Convention according to Article V of the U.S. Constitution, to establish new amendments to ensure our true equality and full rights and liberties.

That way we can get rid of the divisive, polarizing, destabilizing partisan political system, abolish the monarchial presidential pretender the the throne, and instead share the throne and establish government that is truly of, by and for the people.
