Convention Of States: Last Chance To Save The Republic - Freedom Wire
The Federal Government continues to abuse its power, and it's time for the states to take action. An Article V Convention might be our only hope.

No matter who wins in a few days, no matter which side dominates, half of the country is going to want to secede. That is, after legal battle after legal battle over the election with no real accepted closure for the defeated side. There is no way to stop that, or is there?
It used to be that states ran their own affairs. That means if you live in Seattle or San Fran and you want to invite illegals into your state and allow hoodlums to torch your cities and close down police departments, you are free to do so. And if you want to state to run your health care, retirement, and pretty much you whole life you can do that as well. However, if you live in a state where you don't want any of those things, you don't have to. Naturally, there will be some unhappy campers in blue and red states that don't like the system, but they are free to leave, like we see mass migrations of Californians fleeing to Texas, etc.
In fact, Massachusetts had Romneycare as their health insurance and they liked it. They even tried to stop Obamacare by voting for a Republican, Scott Brown to replace Kennedy so he would vote against it. However, the democrats bypassed his vote and the democratic process via Reconciliation. So Scott Brown failed as the people of MA were force fed the Federal health care plan.
But with states running their own affairs, like MA did at one time, all 50 states would have different ways of trying to solve problems like health care, and we can then step back and see which work best so that others will be more apt to choose them rather than demanding we all bow to the same ideology and put all our eggs in one basket and force feed us something. Actually, that was the original design and it was referred to as Federalism
States were to run their own affairs as the Federal government played referee. That way any injustices, which are bound to come, can be met with Federal intervention to correct those injustices. However, with the Federal government now running everything, when injustices come, which they do and will continue, who can we run to for justice? The referee is now running with the ball.
So I implore all of you, consider supporting the Article V movement. I see it as the last legal and civil and humane way to deal with the great divide in the country. Otherwise, you are faced with only trying to attain power and forcing the other half of the country to submit.
The choice is yours.
