What if we could end the out of control, corrupt federal government and Amend the Constitution to really bring back the intent of the Articles of the Confereration (via Article V Convention of the States) and go back to real Federalism?

What if we could end the out of control, corrupt federal government and Amend the Constitution to really bring back the intent of the Articles of the Confereration (via Article V Convention of the States) and go back to real Federalism?
When James Otis was yelling “Taxation without Representation” pre-Declaration of Independence, how likely was it a small colony could rebel and defeat the world’s largest king and army? We did it once, we can do it again!
The “Anti-Federalists” did try to warn us through The-Anti-Federalist-Papers. Perhaps we should review those documents again and look to the Anti-Federalists for wisdom out of this mess? They gave us the Bill of Rights! (Federalist Hamilton said the Bill of Rights was not necessary!!)
Yes, James Madison did write the Bill of Rights and authored many of the Federalist Papers, but he only wrote the Bill of Rights after NY and VA would not ratify the Constitution without a Bill of Rights. Thank you NY and VA.
With threats of another forever war, at what point do We the People say Enough?
A be careful of what you wish for warning. An article 5 convention of the states is dangerous and if it falls into too many wrong hands the first thing to happen will be abolishing the electoral college. They already have plans for that.
Yes, they do and I understand that fear, but it would take ¾ of the states to do that. How did the electoral college prevent the 2020 election fraud? It didn’t.
The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself, right? We have to do something or we will be goosestepping into tyranny.
Right now we have trouble mustering1/2 of state legislatures to get behind a conservative pushback to the progressive steamroller. Think it better for those states who actually mean it to continue fighting the d.c. cabal and as they prosper, as they are, hopefully more states will fall in line
It appears that , like our efforts to initiate a Constitutional Convention, this initiative has been in process for some years. It has not impacted the integrity of our Constitutional process yet, but considering the heat of our opposition I'm very concerned. Is there any way we can attack this before it reaches the Critical level? Or in the alternative get it on our schedule of what to monitor and watch out for?
Last week, the state legislature of Maine became the 17th in the nation to pass a bill that will effectively eliminate the Electoral College
Maine would join 15 states and the District of Columbia to adopt the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact—a pledge that their electoral votes go to the presidential candidate with the most overall votes across the nation.
The constitution is not being followed now. COS would put the entire constitution up for rewrite when the rules are not being followed. That is the last thing we want to do.
Enforce the constitution we have now. If you can't do that, you hare already lost.
That's a good point, but I keep thinking that if we didn't have an Executive and Judicial Branch (eliminating a big part of the central government like the Articles of the Confederation) it might be more manageble for We the People to keep our eyes on the state level better. IDK.
I think you need all branches of government. The three in the constitution are designed to keep each other in check. The media is considered the fourth branch that informs the people of all the violations that occur. The media is now owned by the deep state that controls the other branches of government. The corruption is the problem. The size is a problem. The unconstitutional power grab is a problem. They all need to be reined in not rewritten. The states were supposed to have all the power (10 amendment) but they gave it up over the years. The 16th Amendment put senators up for election by the people instead of being appointed by the states. All of these are difficult to reclaim but things are so blatantly wrong now, it is easy to prove. Once one person is tried for corruption, the rest will fall. Right now there is a RICO type investigation into Fauci and others that conspired with him. If that comes to fruition, it will cause some huge revelations.
Actually that was the 17th Amendment. The 16th Amendment created the income tax, thus growing the central government to grow too big! 1913 was a very bad year along with the Federal Reserve Act.
Yes the checks and balances were intended to keep the central government in check with Federalism prevailing. How did that work out? My point is that I believe it's the central government that is the problem. And, when I look at the Articles of the Confederation, with only a Congress from state delegates, that maybe that would be better. No federal election for president, no life long appointment for the supreme court - can you imagine? I know we have national issues but maybe it could be more like Switzerland. IDK, but what we have now is an unsustainable mess.
You can't have law makers without courts to rule on them.
The problem as you mentioned is about who has the power and for how long. If the states controlled the senators and funding of the government (before IRS) then the power remains with the states. If congress followed the one representative per 10,000 citizens, then we would have more control but they said there weren't enough seats so that is a 'no can do' and suddenly they gained more power.
The people have been asleep too long and let this get out of hand.
NY and VA were only able to accomplish what they did because ... information was able to be seen and heard by The People!! "We The People" can't say/do anything until they/we finish the take-back of their/our information system which is in its beginning stages with X and Truth Social.
Hamilton was a deep-cover agent of the Bank of England, whose head told Ambassador Benjamin Franklin... "We will get you back!"
Think about that!!! The nexus of power of the British Empire was (and still is) the Central Banksters!! "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws!" Whether or not that quote came from a Rothschild... it is still true!! The "money changers" have been running things since well before Jesus kicked them out of the temples!!
Getting back to honest money is the biggest stake that can be hammered into the heart of Fascism!!!

P.S. look at the number of state legs who have already signed onto a popular presidential election. Getting scarry.
Elimination of Electoral College
It appears that , like our efforts to initiate a Constitutional Convention, this initiative has been in process for some years. It has not impacted the integrity of our Constitutional process yet, but considering the heat of our opposition I'm very concerned. Is there any way we can attack this before it reaches the Critical level? Or in the alternative get it on our schedule of what to monitor and watch out for?

Epoch Times covered this twice. Mark Levin covered it on his radio show this week
scary stuff!!
And then Klaus Schwab's vision for future elections will be complete -you won't need them anymore because the outcome will be obvious.
The constitution is not being followed now. COS would put the entire constitution up for rewrite when the rules are not being followed. That is the last thing we want to do.
Enforce the constitution we have now. If you can't do that, you hare already lost.

Yes. All enabled by the sinking of the Titanic by the people who benefited by the Amendments.
Yes the checks and balances were intended to keep the central government in check with Federalism prevailing. How did that work out? My point is that I believe it's the central government that is the problem. And, when I look at the Articles of the Confederation, with only a Congress from state delegates, that maybe that would be better.

The people have been asleep too long and let this get out of hand.
Yes, we need courts but maybe the courts could be a state tribunal type system?
Yes. That would be good if the states were the final say.
Again, this is not something that we can change now with COS.
NY and VA were only able to accomplish what they did because ... information was able to be seen and heard by The People!! "We The People" can't say/do anything until they/we finish the take-back of their/our information system which is in its beginning stages with X and Truth Social.

That seems to be the most unanswered question.
