The Illusion of Influence: How Public Opinion Fails to Shape Policy in America

Tea Party protest draws historic crowd: Taxpayer March on Washington at 15

Mark Meckler reacts to @PragerU U.S. Debt video The US national debt is now over $35 TRILLION. An Article V convention is needed. We're actively working to call an Article V convention that would allow the states to discuss amendments that, “limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, impose fiscal restraints, and place term limits on federal officials.” https://lnkd.in/eRhN-i2R

In any political procedure, there are always uncertainties, but in this case they are far fewer than predicted by anti-convention alarmists. And they must be balanced against a certainty: Unless we use the procedure the Founders gave us to rein in a runaway Congress, then Congress will surely continue to run away.

What did you think of the Presidential debate this week?

Perhaps the only thing we’ll ever agree on is that we should be free to disagree. No one wants the federal government to tell them how to think, vote, or worship. The very idea is anathema to the American way of life. As the ultimate check and balance on federal power, the Article V convention empowers the American people, the vast majority of whom must support the process, to push back on government overreach. This truly is a bipartisan solution. Indeed, recent polling from swing states, including Ohio and Pennsylvania, shows that 82% and 79% of Republicans, 69% and 55% of Democrats, and 77% and 74% of Independents, respectively, support Article V. This week’s DNC and last month’s RNC may have dashed any hope that the two parties might reconcile. But there is still hope — hope that we might at least unite around a 237-year old constitutional provision. It’s an unexpected answer. But in a polarized generation, it’s a much-needed silver lining.
