** “Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.”
– Daniel Webster **
We are provided a legal relief from tyranny by the very document that establishes the foundation of justice for our countrymen; we are only required to agree on the direction in which to advance, and the steps necessary to propel our Great Nation to unfettered liberty, freedom, safety, security and prosperity.
Article V (Convention of States) is the peaceful and preferred method of change and growth for We the People; a lawful resolution rather than armed revolution.
Some thoughts on that, from people more learned than I.
I always like to read back 4 years to see what our predictions and reality’s were/are.

Texas Senate Calls for a Constitutional Convention
In Texas’s latest and most wide-ranging effort to try to rein in what it sees as “abuses of power by the federal government,” the state Senate on Tuesday passed a resolution calling for a Convention of States to amend the U.S. Constitution and allow…

Progress Map: States that have passed the Convention of States Article V…
Once two-thirds (34) of the states pass our resolution, the convention will be called.
There’s a 50-50 chance states will call for a constitutional convention within…
Almost 20 GOP-led states have passed a powerful and well-funded group’s call for a new constitutional convention, and the 2022 midterms are pivotal.

What Bruce said. Are you in favor of the amendment of convention of states?
I think if we get people thinking right the politics will fall in place.
Welcome to the community!
Great letter! More people will see it if you also post it on LinkedIn and Facebook. You may reach more lefties that way.
Welcome to the community!
a Constitutional convention could be a good thing… or really bad…
depends on WHO attends it and how they proceed…
if it’s mostly leftist we can kiss our Republic good bye… and our rights…
even if the states are supposed to vote and ratify the result…
if they control the vote count… well…
@Larry344 Welcome to our community, we are glad to have you with us.
Most here don’t have an account, if you do maybe could post it.
Thanks. I didn’t write it. I gave attribution to the author in the first line. I spend an enormous amount of time on X and felt it would be good to share some of the gems I come across. I do not participate in the liberal cesspools you mentioned. No one on those platforms wants anything to do with logic or rational discussion.

((I believe this statement answers your concern about abuse of power.))
Thank You for the warm welcome, I believe the fire of patriotism burns hot in our beloved country.
“Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is impossible that a nation of infidels or idolaters should be a nation of freemen. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains.”
– Patrick Henry
I’m hopeful our elected representatives use sound judgment as they govern. Our U.S. Constitution provides a simple and just pathway to true freedom if we diligently execute the rights contained therein and care for one another as if our existence is at stake.
Article V is one means to “get back on track”.
of course it does read it years ago… thing is lookin at the politicians we have now…
many have somehow become millionaires and SEEM to vote to destroy this nation…
and ignore and destroy it’s Constitution and Bill of Rights…
so I do NOT have a lot of faith in a Constitutional Convention with such people holding it…
“God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless.”

Men are liars, to themselves and those they deceive. Believe in the process, not the procession.
Thank You for your sacrifice and service.
That sums it up nicely. Well said.
Anybody who Quotes PATRICK HENRY is aces in my book,
welcome Brother to the fold.
