National political office was never supposed to be a career. But for too many of our federal politicians, that's exactly what has happened. It's time for the American people to take control. Sign our petition to call an Article V convention and force term limits on federal officials (members of Congress AND bureaucrats!). conventionofstates.com/x-petition

Time to launch a Convention of States Then repeal the following Amendments: •14th (birthright citizenship) •16th (income tax) •17th (direct election of senators) •15th&19th (prohibits denial to vote on race or sex) •26th (lowers voting age) Then create the following new Amendments: • Limited Voting (only certain groups deemed properly invested in the United States can vote, like married families with children) • Food Freedom Amendment with similar verbiage to 1st and 2nd (Right to Grow, Produce, Consume, and Sell your own food shall not be Infringed) • Privacy Freedom Amendment with similar verbiage to the 1st and 2nd (Protecting Americans from Spying, data collection, etc) • A Constitutional Amendment requiring the Abolition of any central bank (The Federal Reserve for example) and a requirement to run on gold backed currency • An Amendment codifying exile into law exclusively for violent criminals where they can be denaturalized and deported by the federal government (especially if local or state governments won't incarcerate them) • An Amendment that puts significant guardrails or eliminates entirely the Necessary and Proper Clause, the General Welfare Clause, and the Commerce Clause • Separation of School and State amendment that prohibits the federal government from influencing schools in any state and prohibits states from making laws against homeschooling and private schooling • Balanced Budget Amendment - Require Congress to always spend less than what America brings in revenue, if they fail to do so (even by a small margin) every congressmember is ineligible for reelection • Sunset Amendment - Every regulation, agency, and law enacted by the federal government will automatically sunset and will need to be renewed Do this and watch America be radically fixed very soon

🚨 WOW! Justice Alito is absolutely FUMING over SCOTUS giving the green light to birthright citizenship "In my judgment, the court has made a mistake that will seriously affect the country's future." "Suppose that a person's only connection to this country is that he was born here to a mother who was present just long enough to give birth and then quickly return to her native country. Suppose that country is a strategic adversary or enemy of the United States. Suppose the child NEVER visited the United States while grow and was inculcated with hatred of this country. According to this court, now, that person is a citizen of the United States. He can enter and leave the country as he pleases. He can travel the world on a United States passport. Even if he plots to harm this country, he cannot be deprived of his status as a citizen, at least under current precedent." — Justice Samuel Alito in his dissent

@beinlibertarian It is called a Con Con, Constitutional Convention. Since the 1980s the Left have pushed for one. That tells you how dangerous it would be. An amendment makes more sense.

If I understand a Convention of States right… -34 States must initiate the Convention (Currently 20 have signed) -For any new Constitutional Amendment to be ratified by the Convention it needs to be sent back and approved by the States. -Only 13 States are needed to block a proposal. Seems highly unlikely this is a realistic solution in today’s political climate.

If we want to secure our right to self-governance, rein in our federal budget, and enforce Congressional term limits, we have no choice but to sidestep Congress and call an Article V convention of the states where we can drain the swamp—permanently! Congress will NEVER fix itself, but there's hope. The Founders gave us a solution as big as the problem: Article V convention of the states. 20 states are already on board with this plan. Momentum is building! Sign the petition: conventionofstates.com/x-petition

There are not cons unless you consider it is the only method for correcting the federal government's behavior for citizens to use. Grok got this one very wrong. There is no runaway convention and the 1787 Federal Convention did not exceed its mandate, which was to render the federal constitution adequate to exigencies of the union. This is based on left wing propaganda from the 1960s and 70s and the Court has disagreed with this many times. The Supreme Court has already ruled that there are no unfaithful delegates and under Agency Law they are bound to the state legislature. And states are passing legislation that carries fines and jail time in many cases if a commissioner to a convention tries to disobey the instructions of his/her commission. You can find detailed explanations, FAQs, legal analysis, historical context, and safeguards all in one place here: conventionofstates.com/resources

Our resolution invokes Article V of the Constitution, calling for a Convention of States to impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the jurisdiction of the federal government, and impose term limits on federal officials. It's the only solution as big as the problem! Learn more at conventionofstates.com #termlimits #conventionofstates #usnews

@52ashess A convention could propose an amendment to curtail some mass surveillance of citizens, but depending on what you mean by "data centers" they could not ban them all. Currently that term is used to describe the facilities that are associated with AI and that is private industry.

@COSProject Can the convention of states ban data centers, flock cameras, and the overall mass surveillance of the US population?

Americans don't need permission from Washington to save the country. The Constitution gave the states a process to act when Washington won't. It's called Article V: a convention for proposing amendments. conventionofstates.com
