Freedom-Fighters Forum

By William J. Dell – 6 October 2010

There have been many emails circulating on the Internet calling for a constitutional convention to propose amendments to our Constitution that Congress will NOT propose. There are hazards to this process guaranteed by Article 5 of our Constitution. History suggest the validity of the concerns expressed in the following video. After all, as pointed out, the first Constitutional Convention was only AUTHORIZED to amend the Articles of Confederation – BUT THEY DID MUCH MORE! There is NO Guarantee that any Constitutional Convention would be limited to particular interests as 32 States currently would like. Once the floodgate is opened, the Ship of State will be in great peril. Remember well that even the unsinkable Titanic – SANK!!

I personally do NOT believe that delegates to ANY new Constitutional Convention would be as reasoned or have the best interests of our nation at heart as our Founding Fathers did. You ask why? It is because in 1787, we had STATESMEN at the Constitutional Convention! Unfortunately – TODAY we would have only POLITICIANS, who by characteristic have only SELF-INTEREST!! 535 members of Congress who would appoint delegates to serve their selfish Progressive interests and NOT those of the Constitutional Republic granted by our current Constitution.

The following Video is 36 minutes in length but should be viewed by every serious Freedom-Fighter and Constitutionalist. The educational information is well presented. Learn why state legislatures should not apply to Congress for a constitutional convention (con-con) by viewing “Beware of Article V: Understanding Legislators’ Limited Federal Power.” This powerful documentary is based on evaluations of the con-con process by prominent constitutional scholars. (1999) Further learn why ANY State with a current call for a con-con should repeal and rescind their call!
