Constitutional Convention

It's time. Start contacting your legislatures and get the ball rolling. Ask that term limits be set on Congress, something any local State official can agree on.

We have term limits. They're called elections.

I don't want term limits
Elections are so expensive no amateur will be able to win one without professional staff who can organize money and campaign staff
The people who do this work are too powerful as it is, term limits will allow them to dominate the process completely
As bad as things are now, they can always get worse

You get representatives that become complacent and offer no new ideas like Nelson and McCain without Term Limits.

Your problem is the same with or without Term limits. At least with Term Limits it forces each Party to invest in new blood.

Not good enough.

We need to destroy the monster that is lobbying and pay2play which is utterly destroying the very foundation of the republic.

Repeal the Fourteenth Amendment

Reps are only complacent when their constituencies are.

The best part about democracy is you get exactly the government you deserve, right where you deserve to get it.

That should be applied to the President then. Congress imposed limits on the president; so, they should have the same restriction. Otherwise time to abolish an amendment.

If the lawmakers arent going to impose term limits, it is time the voters should.

Term limits means cheaper elections. They become expensive after several re-elections.

But then with term limits the special interests can just buy and buildup candidates like a minor league farm team for president. Instead of career politicians, you'll have donors and groups of donors just putting their own candidate up once each congressional seat's term limit is met. Do you want a bunch of cookie cutters like a Jon Assoff or Scott Brown?

It would also lead to more extremism and partisanship. If you get to vote on new batches of representatives and senators every few years without incumbents, you could easily see radicals rise. Nancy Pelosi is bad, but imagine what they'd elect in her district if she wasn't there.

America is on the threshold of being cucked over hard by the globalist libtards and people on Sup Forums are calling for us to scrap and rewrite the constitution. The one we have is fine, we just need to follow it for a change. Sage.

Nobody is following the fucking Constitution. Amendments can't even pass without a 2/3 state majority so stop being a fag.

I've been out of the loop for a while, whats all this about?

Elections dont get rid of the lingering staffers. The convention will address that with term limits

Yeah, this. Globalist Republicans and globalist Democrats would get together and run the table with a constitutional convention. I can imagine a couple good amendments getting through, though.

Same baseless argument that is made by elitist. There are states that are functioning fine with limits.

What is causing people to do this? What happened? I was out of the loop for a while.

The governor of West Virginia just switched from Democrat to Republican at a Trump rally.

Thats . . . a good thing for trump supporters, right?

>Elections dont get rid of the lingering staffers.

Of course they do. You elect people who will hire new staffers.

There is a movement to call for a convention of the states. the primary reason is to reaffirm state rights and sovereignty
go to www.conventionofstates.com

Republicans control enough State Legislatures to call for a Constitutional Convention. This means they can propose Amendments to the Constitution that will then need to be ratified by 3/4 of the States. This could mean Term Limits for Congress since many State Legislatures had Term Limits placed on them by their own voters.

No constitutional convention. It is a trap to try and destroy the constitution officially

>convince people to approve their own layoff from one of the cushiest jobs in the world.

if you've been running re-elections a few times you cement your position simply by political favors--just look at the holde over from Obama administration that can't be fired immediately.

Really makes no difference desu. West Virginia was a deep red state anyway.

Term limits?? What about a retroactive repeal of birthright citizenship, or race based immigration, or voluntary segregation, or a ban on taxation? Overturn the bill of rights and jail leftists for conspiracy to commit treason. We have a limited time to reverse demographics and term limits won't fix the problem.

WRONG

This would be the States forcing the Federal Government to have Term Limits. It would have no effect on the State Legislatures voting for it.

>just look at the holde over from Obama administration that can't be fired immediately.

You can't dismiss every high-level position in the federal government at once, whether you have term limits or not. Maybe Trump will fire them all eventually, maybe you should have found someone who would do that.

Term limits don't fix this problem, reducing the size and scope of fedguv does.

Again as usual you all are more concerned with finding ways to get other people to fix your problems for you instead of taking action yourself. It's why the West is dying, young men like yourselves without agency. If you don't like the career politicians in office then vote them out, full stop.

Propose what you think you can get through. Remember, we still need 3/4 of States to ratify each Amendment and that include Democrats. Republicans can get the Convention started without them though.

Nigger are your retarded? They wont get any more expensive. They are already completely dominated by special interest money. When trying to take out an incumbent this money is often too large a hurdle. If seats become open and contentious more often it should weaken the sway of career politicians and their sponsors.

Geez, ever since the race for the white house has started theres always been something to worry about
>hillary on top of polls
>after trump wins, worry about recounts
>after inauguration, worry about impeachment
now this

11 States have already voted for Convention. We just need Maine and the rest of the Red States to move forward.

encroaching federal regulations. Some states like California have used the Federal government to restrict the rights of other states and punish the competiting markets in them. For example nearly ever bill in the last decade have restricted production of fossil fuels by placing federal taxes on them and at the same time subsidizing California's alt-energy markets with those fed tax dollars has come out of California! New York has sponsored several laws restricting several exporting markets along the alantic coast in order to establish a monopoly on the trading of those export markets.

California and New York did this during the Obama administration. These are blue states that want to become economic vampires feeding off other states through a large

What we need is to be governed by Angels

>You can't dismiss every high-level position in the federal government at once, whether you have term limits or not
A convention can change that. a further articulation of term limits can do that.

Washington needs to annex Seattle and Olympia. The state is majority conservative. I've lived here all my life, everyone I know hated Hillary and now hates the Democrats. Washington is turning red, that's how you know shit is changing.

Say that our Constitution were to be scrapped at the convention for a new one, how will the active duty military react to such a thing? I would think a lot of them would be outraged and want to revolt

new amendment : only whites allowed and non whites lose their current citizenships

Ram it all through. Put deportation of non-white citizens on the table, run over the protesters (call them rioters), assassinate opponents and take advantage of the ensuing chaos and fear to initiate a National Socialist version of 1776. Send arms and supplies to Golden Dawn and withdraw from the UN.

This is the only amendment that matters.

You're more right than you know.

>scrapped
It's just Amendments my friend. They aren't rewriting the whole thing.
