To fully comprehend what is currently going on with the Article V convention movement, one must understand that those who are really behind promoting an Article V convention are using reasonably sophisticated techniques to get their audience to go along with their position. It is also important to understand that their motive is something different than what their uninformed minions say it is. They do not really want to get the feds under control.  
 

1. Question: What problem are we trying to correct?

Answer: Out of control government.

Executive Summary

The effort to call an Article V convention was initiated and funded in 1963 by the Ford Foundation in furtherance of its objective (shared with the Rockefeller Foundation) of establishing regional governance (Soviet Union-styled communism) in the U.S. In 1953 the United States House Select Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations and Comparable Organizations (Reece Committee) determined that Foundations were supporting un-American objectives in this country. According to Norman Dodd, chief investigator for Reese Committee, the idea of regional governance in America originated with the Ford Foundation.

A restoration of Constitutional governance requires more than the lip-service afforded it by the various 10th Amendment resolutions currently being put forth by the States. It requires actual action. It would be foolish of We the People of the sovereign States to expect a long-time rogue federal government to yield back that which it has usurped from the States.

I recently visited my state capitol to discuss the Article V convention with several legislators. I received three very distinct impressions. First, from everyone of them there was the sense they were being overwhelmed by legislative work. Second, from the majority of them was a sense of panic about the state of our federal government. Third, they had been exposed, directly or indirectly, to the propaganda of the promoters of the Article V (PAV).

Executive Summary

In reality this new scheme is just one more unconstitutional plot to do an end run around Article V's requirement that all amendments to the Constitution be proposed by a deliberative body through a deliberative process.

Allegiance and Protection Demands Interposition, not Nullification

Interposing is an absolute duty under the ancient inherent sovereign principle of Allegiance and Protection.

Never heard of Allegiance and Protection? It is noted at least three times by the Apostle Paul, (xi) three times in the Declaration of Independence (xii) and it is the "allegiance" you refer to when you say " I pledge allegiance to the flag . . ." and has been recognized by the Supreme Court in many cases. (xiii) (Read complete article here.)

The States have a duty to interpose any time anything or anyone threatens our rights, including our right to "Life, Liberty" and property. If a hostile band of Canadians unexpectedly sweep down from the north to conquer and pillage, the states have a duty to stop those wild-eyed Canadians.
