From: Michael for CampaignForLiberty. com Posted by: Patti (Watcher on the Wall) ACT NOW TO REJECT CON CON! by Chuck Baldwin December 16, 2008 My good friend, Tom DeWeese, chairman of the American Policy Center, recently issued an urgent alert regarding a revived effort to assemble a modern Constitutional Convention Mind you, the United States has not assembled such a Convention since 1787, when a Constitutional Convention replaced the Articles of Confederation with the US Constitution Fortunately, the delegates to the Con Con of 1787 were composed of freedom-loving patriots who had just fought a bloody war for independence and were in no mind to reenact tyranny upon the land they had just fought to liberate However, can one imagine what would happen if the current bunch of politically correct leftists in Washington, DC, were to be granted the power to rewrite our Constitution? It would be the end of the United States of America, and that is no hyperbole The modern Con Con effort began back in the 1970s Since then, 32 states have issued the call The total number of states that are required to enact the Con Con is 34 Simple math reveals that we are only two states short of this disaster As word of this potential calamity began to surface, the effort stalled with the total states issuing the call stuck at 32 With the election of Barack Obama, however, supporters of a Con Con have been emboldened and are now trying to resurrect the momentum The state that is currently in the crosshairs appears to be Ohio States that have already approved a Con Con include Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming A few of these states have since seen the error of their ways and have voted to rescind their approvals This fact, alone, should be enough to kill the push for another Con Con, but don't expect the powers that be to see it that way Therefore, it seems that if Ohio approves the Con Con, only one more state would be required, and upon the call of that 34th state, a Con Con would be seated And, no doubt, state number 34 is already sitting quietly, but excitedly, in the wings, ready to act with "lightning speed" to seal the deal Lest anyone take this lightly or think that a Constitutional Convention is no big deal, DeWeese properly warned, "In truth no restrictive language from any state can legally limit the scope or outcome of a [Constitutional] Convention! Once a Convention is called Congress determines how the delegates to the Convention are chosen Once chosen, those Convention delegates possess more power than the US Congress itself" DeWeese is right If called, a modern Constitutional Convention could declare the US Constitution to be null and void, and could completely rewrite the document For example, former US Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger once declared, "There is no effective way to limit or muzzle the actions of a Constitutional Convention The Convention could make its own rules and set its own agenda" Given the fact that Washington, DC, is comprised mostly of Big-Government liberals and neocons, it is almost certain that the founders' Constitution --which was founded on the principles of Natural Law that protects individual liberty--would be replaced with some sort of "collective rights" document protecting an ambiguous "common good" At that point, there is no more United States of America There would be no more Bill of Rights protecting individuals from governmental abuse and overreach Furthermore, the principles of Natural Law would be forever removed as a basis of all our nation's laws and statutes The nation that had been bequeathed to us by our forebears would be gone forever Yes, it is that bad, and, yes, it is that close to happening! In the short term, every freedom-loving American must do everything they can RIGHT NOW to prevent this from happening Since the state of Ohio is currently in the crosshairs, it would behoove us to contact every person we know in Ohio and do whatever it takes to motivate them to be sure to let their Ohio legislators know how dangerous this is Residents and citizens of Ohio need to make sure the Ohio legislature rejects the call for a Constitutional Convention By the same token, it would be wise for all of us who live in states that have not yet ratified the call for a Con Con to contact our state legislators to make sure that they understand the issue, and that they will do everything in their power to resist any attempt to call for a Constitutional Convention For more information on the status of a new Con Con and how to fight it, go to the American Policy Center web site at http://wwwamericanpolicyorg:80/sledgehammer/victoryhtm In the longer term, there is another question that must be addressed What will we do if and when a modern Constitutional Convention is called and our US Constitution is declared null and void, with a completely new constitution enacted? Which states will reject the new constitution? Which states will declare their independence from any such new union? Or, will they all surrender their state constitutions and go along with this Twenty-First Century New World Order--a New World Order that will doubtless incorporate some form of North American Community or Union? It might be a very good idea to immediately begin identifying those states that would unequivocally reject any new union, and would be willing to declare their independence from whatever government would evolve from a modern Constitutional Convention Yes, I am saying it: we may need to resurrect the original Thirteen Colonies, except they would probably not number thirteen, and, in all likelihood, they would not be located on the East Coast I am convinced that there are still millions of Americans who are sick and tired of surrendering their liberties to Big-Government sycophants in both the Democrat and Republican parties, and that if a Constitutional Convention is called--and our US Constitution is wiped away or rewritten--are ready and willing to declare their independence all over again So, I issue the call: where are the new Thirteen Colonies? We better start looking now, because there will come a point when the time for looking for good ground is over and the time to stand our ground will be upon us *If you appreciate this column and want to help me distribute these editorial opinions to an ever-growing audience, donations may now be made by credit card, check, or Money Order Use this link: http://www. chuckbaldwinlive. com/donate. php © Chuck Baldwin This column is archived as http://www. chuckbaldwinlive. com/c2008/cbarchive_20081216. html From: God, Guns, And Guts Keep America FREE!!!!

Open a constitutional convention and I absolutely guarantee we'll lose every right we think we still have. There's not a chance in hell that a CC would result in more rights, or even an affirmation of the rights already enumerated.
I think we need to look at who is behind the latest call for a convention to be convened. It's Dennis Kucinich. I am not too worried about it. Don't get me wrong I like Dennis. But he's been unsuccessful in his runs for the presidency and his calls for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney. I don't think he'll be anymore successful with this. He does make watching the operation of congress fun though.
