Article V Convention: NC General Assembly Doubling Back in the Wrong Direction | Eastern North Carolina Now

    On June 29, 2017 the North Carolina House voted against SJR 36, the COS application for an Article V convention. The vote was 59 against; and 53 for.

    But a few hours later, COS and the Republican leadership got the members to vote to "reconsider" their vote against SJR 36 (66 to reconsider - 45 opposed). So they brought SJR 36 back to life and sent it to the House Rules Committee. There it will sit until COS and Republican leadership twist enough arms and pressure more House Republicans to vote for it.

    [Below I use "Left" to describe those who want big government;

    and "Right" to describe those who want small government.]

    It has always been the Big Money on the Left which wants an Article V convention so they can get rid of the Constitution we have and impose a new one. Some 50+ years ago, the Left came up with the proposed Constitution for the Newstates of America. Under this proposed Constitution, the States are dissolved and replaced by regional governments answerable to the new national government. It sets up a totalitarian dictatorship under which (among other things) we will be disarmed. It is ratified by a national referendum.

    It has always been the Right which resisted the periodic pushes for an Article V convention. The Right understands that delegates to an Article V convention have plenipotentiary powers and can exercise [once again] that "self-evident right" recognized in the 2nd para of our Declaration of Independence, to throw off the Constitution we have and set up a new one which creates a new government.

    So the Left changed clothes and changed tactics. Now, they are pretending to be "Right" and they are marketing the con to Republicans. Many of our State Legislators are jaw-droppingly ignorant of our two Founding Documents. And too many Republican Legislators believe whatever the fake "Right" con-con lobby tells them.

    Much confusion has been caused by the false claims that those supporting the con-con are "Libertarian", "right-wing", or "conservatives". We know that the Koch Brothers on the fake "Right", among others, are spending vast sums of money to buy Republican politicians to get them to support an Article V convention. See, e.g., THIS.

    Many Republican Legislators, who don't understand our Founding Principles and Founding Documents, go by the labels which others assign. And since they are told that an Article V convention is the "conservative" position, they go along with it.

    So Republican State Legislators who have been bought and paid for by the fake "Right", or who go along with their Leadership, are the ones today who are doing the work of the Left by passing applications for an Article V convention. Most of them have no idea of the dangers. In some States (North Carolina), the Republican leadership prohibits their members from hearing voices in opposition at Committee meetings.

    SJR 36 passed North Carolina Senate Committees with no public notice given of the Committee meetings. So the voices in opposition were not heard. After SJR 36 passed the Senate committees it was rushed to the Senate floor for a vote.

    At the hearing on June 28 before the North Carolina House Judiciary Committee IV, the sponsors of SJR 36 were given all the time they wanted to speak for SJR 36; but our Friend, Wynne Coleman of NoCOS-NC, was only allowed one (1) minute to speak in opposition; and the Chairman of the Committee would not allow her to distribute to the Committee Members the documentation she had prepared for them. One Legislator who opposed was also given only one (1) minute. And that was it for the opposition at this "public" hearing.

    I suggest that the reason the bought and paid for State Republican Legislators prohibit voices in opposition from being heard is that they know that when Legislators are given the TRUTH, they generally oppose an Article V convention.

    We are in imminent peril of losing our Constitution. It seems that what the Fake "Right" now wants is to move us into the North American Union (NAU). Under the NAU, Canada, the United States, and Mexico basically merge, and a Parliament is set up over them. The borders between the three countries are to be effectively erased. I have read the Task Force Report on the NAU sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations. The globalists (fake "conservatives" George W. Bush, the Cruzes, etc.) need a new Constitution for the United States which transforms us from a sovereign nation to a member state of the NAU. How do they get a new Constitution? At an Article V convention. How do they get an Article V convention? By lying to the American People and to State Legislators, and by preventing voices in opposition from being heard.

    See THIS short commentary on the NAU.

    I suggest we better make defeating an Article V convention a primary focus of our lives.

    Please get with your State Legislators and educate them. Warn those in your spheres of influence. We must get States to rescind their existing applications for an Article V convention. This past legislative session, three States (Maryland, New Mexico, Nevada) rescinded their outstanding applications for an Article V convention! That took lots of work by many people.

    If you want to know what America will look like once the Parliament for the NAU takes control of immigration, look at Europe. And pray that you aren't disarmed under the new Constitution.

    Fight this evil.
