You're buying, right? Because that's going to cost more money than you could count in a thousand million lifetimes.

Not a complete surrender. You still have to pay for sex (if and when you can get it).

I'd prefer an admendment that would only allow those eligible to vote to contribute to election campaigns or ballot issues, as well as a restatement of State sovereignty, meaning people in California cannot contribute to election campaigns or ballot issues in Illinois or Ohio etc (a restatement meaning it is illegal, but no one attempts to stop it).

I would also add the following: Any American shall have the right to enter into a marriage contract with any consenting adult.

we already have a 40 hour work week law that allows for overtime when an employee goes over that standard.

Government was never intended nor should it have the authority to grant rights of any kind.

Ok, I was trying to make a point but the original came from 1936 Constitution of the USSR, Part I

CONSTITUTION
OF
THE UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS

Adopted at the Seventh (Special) Session of
the Supreme Soviet of the USSR
Ninth Convocation
On October 7, 1977

All I changed was USSR to United States of America.

The point I was trying to make, and sad to report that so few actually caught on, was a government that is powerful enough to give you everything you want is powerful enough to take everything away including your liberty.

Just where is my right to free ammunition, free gas for my jeep, and guaranteed 60 days off every year to hunt and fish.

Sorry, I missed your sarcasm but am in full agreement with your premise.

My thoughts concern who you want to have propose these amendments. According to the Constitution you want to amend it has to be Congress by a 2/3 vote in each house and then 3/4 of states have to approve the amendment.

I don't think the Congress is likely to propose those amendments until some kind of socialism has replaced the Congress persons. The only other choice is to have a Constitutional Convention and that has to be called by Congress.

This amending with amendments that can only come into being after our democratic system has been replaced by s much more socialistic system and I don't see that happening very soon.

My biggest problem has to do with what happened the last time Congress called a Convention to consider some slight changes in the Articles of Confederation. You do know when and by whom our Constitution was written, I take it.
