Constitutional Amendments
Amending the United States Constitution is no small task. This page will detail the amendment procedure as spelled out
in the Constitution, and will also list some of the Amendments that have not been passed, as well as give a list of some
amendments proposed in Congress during several of the past sessions.

Citizens for Self-Governance has launched the
Convention of the States Project (COS) for the purpose of urging
and
empowering state legislators to call an Article V Convention of the States. The Founders gave American citizens the ability
to stop the runaway train of the federal government—we seek to provide the people of the United States an avenue within
which to use that power. An Article V convention is safe, legal, and effective; and we believe it is the only way check the
abuses of the federal government and preserve American liberty.

The Effort to Dismantle Our Constitution

The Effort to Dismantle Our Constitution
by Jackie Patru
Under article V of the Constitution, our
founding fathers established two methods for future generations
to add amendments to the Constitution.
Under method 1: Two-thirds of both houses of Congress can propose an amendment, and then three-fourths of the states ratify it... or not.
Under method 2: Two-thirds (34) of the states call for a federal constitutional convention, and then three-fourths of the states ratify whatever amendments are proposed by the convention.
Notice that ratification by states does not specify state legislatures ! [...]

In 1787, before the Constitution was ratified and while a few state officials were still uneasy about certain parts of it, there began a movement to reopen the convention. JAMES MADISON, the prime motivator of the first convention, was horrified by the mere suggestion of reconvening. In a letter to George Turberville, he said:
"Under these circumstances it seems scarcely to be presumable that the deliberations of the body could be conducted in harmony, or terminate in the general good. Having witnessed the difficulties and dangers experienced by the first Convention which assembled under every propitious circumstance, I should tremble for the result of a Second".
So should we all tremble for the result of a second.
May our Heavenly Father / Creator Continue to Guide and Bless Our Work
(remember... we must ASK)
