Texas legislators who support a convention of states to rewrite the U.S. Constitution are at odds over whether to jail delegates who “go rogue” and impose unwanted changes at the longshot gathering.
Republican Gov. Greg Abbott wants to bypass Congress and limit Washington’s power via a federal balanced budget amendment and term limits. But some top conservatives fear a “runaway convention” at which representatives from liberal areas could target things such as the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms. |

Just imagine Bloomberg going 'all in' on this one and contributing $45 Billion to getting rid of all anti-tyranny protections in the Constitution.
Now imagine a $20 Billion matching contribution from Soros, and then imagine federal agencies and state governments hiring lobbyists with unlimited budgets.
Matt Bracken paints a frightening picture on how it might go in his third novel, Foreign Enemies And Traitors. |

| Why go through al that trouble to destroy the Bill of Rights? Just elect one more President like Obama and or Hillary and they will appoint 2-3 liberal judges top the SCOTUS to wipe out our rights in one swipe. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
