Although dated, this article provides a trove of info... The Effort to Dismantle Our Constitution "Let us face reality. The framers have simply been too shrewd for us. They have outwitted us. They designed separated institutions that cannot be unified by mechanical linkages, frail bridges, tinkering. If we are to ‘turn the founders upside down – to put together what they put asunder – we must directly confront the Constitutional structure they erected..."www.sweetliberty.org/issues/concon/effort2dismantle.htm

I told people this was coming two years ago.
We need to stand and let them know, we will not allow them to destroy the Constitution.
We need to let them know, it will only be destroyed over our dead bodies and a lot of their dead bodies.

I know many well intended people who have called for a Con Con and I have always argued that it is a Pandora's Box that we should not open because we do not know what would come out. Once called they would have the power to make changes at will. Yes it would take 3/4's of the states to ratify and one would hope that they would block any change that would counter the intent of the original but if it is up to the state legislatures and not the people of the state who knows what would happen.

The Republic has done one better. They went back to the 1789 Constitution.
