A Constitutional Convention?
In a Word...Treason
December 20, 2008

There are some things I have always thought wouldn’t be in question or jeopardy from the powers that be in the US, but the skeletal structure of our very country, our precious and unique Constitution may now be in question.

1787 was the last time a Constitutional Convention was called, simply to replace the Articles of Confederation with the US Constitution. These were committed patriots who had fought for their country and Constitution, protecting our freedoms. Now, from the 1970s onward there have been those in Congress pushing to get a vote of at least 34 states to convene a Constitutional Convention. What ever for?

This effort from hell apparently has renewed vigor with a far Leftist Congress and far Leftist President. Why touch this treasured document? The rational of, sadly even Conservatives behind this, is to meet and create a balanced budget amendment. The Democrats want this convention to deal with some of the "problematic sections,” and "sections that don’t reflect our current social values”...so they say.

Just last night on my show I spoke with Chuck Michaelis the vice president of the Institute for Principled Policy. His group, along with the bold efforts and mail outs of Tom DeWeese of American Policy.org, confronted a vote this last Wednesday in Ohio about this convention happening. With the pressure these groups created, it was turned down, thank God. That would have left only 1 more state to convene a Constitutional Convention.

The Institute for Principled Policy has warned:

"Kiss the second amendment goodbye, in favor of the collective right to self-defense, meaning no private ownership of firearms or other weapons.”

Michaelis also warned about an attempt to carve out the North American Union and submit our classic sovereignty to an International Governing body. There are also desires to "update” the Constitution to reflect values of our culture and our times. These would mean a push for more gay, special rights, children’s rights, limiting if not trashing parents rights, potentially submitting them also to an International and legal supervisor.

I asked Michaelis if a group of delegates from 34 states (If that vote is achieved. It is at 32 votes for it now) would actually have the power to rewrite or modernize the Constitution without the vote of the people? He said absolutely. They can vote to do things in secret, adapt, ad to and curtail the original Constitution if they want.

I’m not saying that all the folks behind the strong push over the years for this convention want to trash our Constitution but there are many and current, Leftist, anti-American, internationalist worldviews that would gladly do just that. They aren’t just the Democrats either! You see, sovereignty is almost hate speech to some. We need to be conformed and manipulated into the North American Union and submit our Bill of Rights and Constitution to an international governing body. You realize of course that gun rights are just referring to "collective” militia rights, not individual’s rights to own guns!!!! Do you see yet where this will likely go???

With such a Leftist Congress and Leftist new President, convening a Constitutional Convention in my view would be like receiving a box of terminal cancer for Christmas!!!

There is nothing to discuss. There is nothing to change. Our precious and miraculous Constitution is our country’s skeleton and our national heritage and guide. It reflects huge amounts of blood and sacrifice and God’s own spirit. How dare any Republican (and there certainly are some) or Democrat push for a Constitutional Convention to assert any kind of change?!!!

I’m a shy type of chick so I will call it like it is...any change to our constitution or bill of rights is treason!!!!!!!

Folks you need to get connected and monitor this effort which has been raising its ugly head since the 1970s...now there is momentum again.
