Rather than writing a new one, which could just as easily have disastrous consequences, we would be much better served in electing representatives who actually adhere to the one we already have. |

Congress required by Law to Act!! The only way this will happen is if the States proceed with their own convention under Title V. The SCOTUS needs reform, so it will more aggressively uphold ALL of the Constitution. I suggest State legislators look at amending the process of appointing SCOTUS judges, such that they can be recalled for not upholding. SCOTUS has let everyone down by constantly caving. |

The constitution has been amended to make the senate elections by the people rather than be appointed by the states. This needs to be reversed back to give the states control over the senate and not the party. If a senator does not represent their state appropriately, the state can fire them an appoint someone who will. |

Please be smart and realise nothing good can come of this allowing a already corrupt and destructive government structure to alter the most basic foundation of our country's laws and freedoms is absurdly dangerous. To think for even one moment a desirable outcome that benifits the populace more than the elites is delusional we should only accept a full return of our constitution and bill of rights as they were originaly written and intnded not edited to fit the government agenda. |

Congress required by Law to Act!! At issue is what's known as a "constitutional convention," a scenario tucked into Article V of the U.S. Constitution. At its core, Article V provides two ways for amendments to be proposed. The first – which has been used for all 27 amendment to date – requires two-thirds of both the House and Senate to approve a resolution, before sending it to the states for ratification. The Founding Fathers, though, devised an alternative way which says if two-thirds of state legislatures demand a meeting, Congress “shall call a convention for proposing amendments.” Quoting: The idea has gained popularity among constitutional scholars in recent years -- but got a big boost last week when Michigan lawmakers endorsed it. Michigan matters, because by some counts it was the 34th state to do so. That makes two-thirds. [link to www.foxnews.com] CNN is trying to cover it up, they're keeping flight 370 and last nights uneventful Chile EQ as their two major front page headlines! Same with MSNBC! If Michigan does make final count of 2/3's of the States calling for a Constitutional Convention, then Congress is now required by Law; Article V of the United States Constitution written by our Founding Father's; required by Law to call for a Constitution Convention to discuss making new Amendments to the United States Constitution, and many State Legislatures are calling for making one that requires a Balanced Budget by Law! THIS. IS. BIG!!!! Don't get mad - Get a Pepsi! |

Congress required by Law to Act!! Common Law. [link to www.collective-evolution.com] Excerpt. less than 50% Under a system of “Common Law,” the original foundation of the united States of America, every individual has “unalienable rights.” This is not the same as “civil rights” or “privileges” as is the case of the statutory law based Democratic system of government. Unalienable rights are not rights given to the “people” by government, but are given to them by their Creator. Therefore these are rights that cannot be granted or taken away by government or by “corporations.” In such a system, a corporation such as Monsanto, cannot sue a farmer, because the rights of the farmer supersede those of a corporation, which has no rights over the “people.” In such a system, the IRS holds no power to take away someone’s home, because to do so would be to infringe on the rights of the individual. Under common law, the remedy for any breach of the law would be reflective of the law that was broken. And, individuals who do things that cause no harm to another individual would not be considered to have broken the law. |
