Convention of States

MLentz:
Is this something that NFOA members would get behind? I feel we need to petition the Nebraska legislature to vote on an application. Check out the website and decide for yourself, then make a comment.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but my personal viewpoint is that our Constitution is fine already.  The problem is that the Federal government ignores it.  Just following the 10th Amendment would fix an awful lot of our problems.  I don't know that any additional amendments would help - they would just be ignored like all the others.

NE Bull:
Yes. On the surface, it sounds like a GREAT idea.  But after some thoughts, it might be a dangerous way to go.  IF we were to open it up in this current political climate, there is a good chance of unintentional outcomes.

Dan W:
I am wondering how a different set of constitutional restrictions would work any better than the set being violated now.

The people need to have the political will to take back the reins and drive the wagon or get used to the weight of the shackles.

If I was convinced that the convention of states would end up in an era of renewed reverence for the constitution and the rule of law, I would go all in.

thirtydaZe:
I do a lot of the drudge report, the blaze, fox news, andrew wilkow, hannity, glen beck, levin.  it does seem more and more that people are fed up all over the place.  Then again maybe its just the places i hang out.
