Seems to be a lot of fireworks going
off in our nation's capitol.
Our heroic Capitulation Leader (the
Speaker of the House) is again using his stentorian presence to hem
and haw his way through something he does not like in the least bit,
the Application for the Convention of States.
Legislative meetings discussing the
Article V Conventions are going on around the country, people are not
as willing to accept the status quo as they were 6 years ago, I
wonder why? Regardless of the causation we must now focus on the
results.
There is stiff resistance arising to
confront the desire to return the nation to the capable hands of the
people, opponents like George Soros and the John Birch Society
through it CEO Art Thompson have undertaken a move to nix limiting of
the term of office for Barak Obama.
Soros, Birchers fight constitutional fix to limit Obama, Congress
A
nationwide drive by mostly conservative states to throttle President
Obama and Washington's grab for more power and taxes is running into
an odd left-right combo of opposition: Liberal financier George Soros
and the conservative John
Birch Society.
Documents
provided to Secrets show that the Soros-backed Montana Budget and
Policy Center recently urged the state's lawmakers to reject the
so-called "convention of states" pushed by advocates such
as radio talk show host Mark Levin as a way to pass constitutional
amendments limiting the power of the federal government and
especially the Supreme Court.
In
an email to lawmakers, the liberal group called on supportive Montana
lawmakers to "direct your questions" to the John Birch
Society, which believes a states convention, provided in Article V of
the Constitution, won't stop Washington from expanding its power and
taxing authority.
The
opposition effort succeeded last month when the Montana House
rejected a convention.
Already
facing liberals who fear that a convention would trim spending on
their causes, the proponent conservative group Convention
of States is
also facing an unusual Soros partner in the John Birch Society, which
believes the answer to Washington is to cut spending and the
bureaucracy.
"Until
the massive bureaucracy that is part of the federal government is
curtailed, downsized or eliminated, federal officials will find a way
around the Constitution no matter what amendments are ratified,"
the group said. Groups like Birch oppose the convention out of
concerns that the conservatives running it will go too far to limit
government powers and fear that the public isn't smart enough on the
Constitution to change it.
But
that opposition is being forcefully rebutted by Michael Farris,
director of the Convention of States project for Citizens for
Self-Governance. In a 23-page memo, he argued that simply trying to
choke Washington's power by sending more conservatives to Congress
won't work.
"Trying
harder with the same old tactics won't work," he wrote.
So
far, 23 states have endorsed the convention but 38 are needed before
one is called.
Levin,
Farris and other supporters are focusing on the power the U.S.
Supreme Court has in interpreting the Constitution and claim that
decisions like a recent one endorsing much of Obamacare violated the
document.

This is Art Thompson CEO
of the John Birch Society, listen to what he says about the Article
V Convention and how we are incapable of fixing the mess because we
are uninformed and incapable of being responsible enough to fulfill
our duty as citizens. According to what I heard him say, yes there is
a problem which we created through our inability to understand the
constitutional workings and therefore should not seek to fix what we
don't understand, it should be left to those who do know what's best
for us.

The other character of
note, one to never let get behind you is George Soros, the guy who
loves to play with Social Manipulation in order to gain his ends.
This is the same fellow who “Broke the Bank Of England” was a
participant in the financial speculation that broke Czechoslovakia,
Spain, Greece, and now the United States and as he put it in an
interview, “I do it because it's fun.”
Until today, I was aligned
with the National Association for Gun Rights in it's membership. Then
I read a letter from Dudley Brown NAGR Director what he stated in
that letter seemed off kilter to me so I did some further checking
and did not like what I found, his views are diametrically opposed to
what I believe is the authorization and function for the Application
for and the purpose of the Convention of States, I wrote and asked
for clarification on the stance he presented, no answer was
forthcoming today I read a similar testament from Mr. Brown and then
decided to sever my connection with them as an organization. Seems to
me he is pairing with the John Birch Society, that's not me, now or
ever.
Sometimes you got to step out in faith-------scary but doable.
