The president and congress (both parties) have expanded government power to the point of no return. It is time to start the process for the states to amend the Constitution, to take power back from the politicians and give it back to the people.
Here is Mark Levin's Liberty Amendments, Chapter One: http://citadelcc.vo.llnwd.net/o29/ne...ndmentsCh1.pdf
For those conservatives that think this process may open the Constitution up for tampering by the radical liberals, guess what, that has already happened. It can't get any worse than what the current pukes are doing.
Good luck with this little venture, I am sure you will be seeing all the way through and not just posting a thread on the Internet hoping someone else will do the work for you.

It will most likely take a decade or two to come to fruition. Constitutionalists can only start the process, and keep pushing it.
I'd be for it, except nobody's paying the slightest attention to the Constitution anymore.
That is the point. We need to get back to the original intent of the Constitution: that the government has limited power. Everything about the Constitution is about keeping the individual from getting crushed by overly powerful government. The way things are now an individual or a small business can not possibly even understand all the laws and rules that he/she must follow. Just with the IRS, EPA and Obamacare there are hundreds of thousands of regulations. Even with a team of attorneys one can not be sure they are following all the rules. The politicians and bureaucrats think it is their duty to keep creating new laws and regulations every day.
Excellent reading. Mr. Levin is an accomplished writer with a strong grasp of both constitutional principles, and the desperate need at this point in history to restore them to functioal status.
Every ill we suffer today, barr none, can be traced back to the failure to adhere to the constitution and its provisions spelled out clearly and unambiguosly. It seems that the American public no longer possesses the reading comprehension skill of grade school children, or they have been so brainwashed as to accept the inane reinterpretations of the language by dishonest con men without scrutiny.
I don't expect the average person to understand the more complex nuances of such things as the commerce clause, and how that has been so abused. But no one should be so dense as to believe that "shall not" can mean "can do if you give a good reason".
Furthermore, the very concept that the Supreme Court can re-invent the meaning of words in order to get around inconvenient restictions of federal power (apparently a common enough belief, particularly among liberals) is nothing short of embecilic.
We have never before faced such abject tyranny, than we are right now, up to and including the abuse by king George, which led to revolution. It has reached the point where even pretense is viewed as unnecessary by our overlords. Case in point, the NDAA, which these domestic enemies passed into alleged law, calling the the arrest, indefinite detainment without due process, and even the assassination of US citizens on US soil, the legal right of government to do.
When your public servants declare their legal right to murder you as they may so desire, and under such authority as a simple executive decree, we have no rights left on the table to defend, with any such notion as constitutional protections null and void, in entirety.
This you need not be a constitutional expert to grasp ... two brain cells, and the sense to get in from out in the rain is all that is required.
We need a state-called convention to amend the Constitution

So, get the ball rolling. If the big bad gummint is abusing you badly, what are you waiting for?
What makes anyone think a Convention would fix anything? Don't you think the statists will be there "amending" the parts they don't like? Maybe get rid of freedom of speech and assembly. The 2nd Amendment would be gone, as would the 4th and 5th.
Farfetched? Really?
