FINAL WARNING: Ready to Spring the Trap
The document contains no guarantees of freedoms that we now have
under the Bill of Rights (Article I, Part A, Section 1: “Freedom of
expression shall not be abridged except in declared emergency”). In
an emergency, the government will have the power to curtail
communication, movement, and the right to assemble. It calls for
public education, and gun control (Article I, Part B, Section 8 “The
bearing of arms or the possession of lethal weapons shall be confined
to police, members of the armed forces, and those licensed under the
law”). The President will serve one 9-year term (Article VI, Part B,
Section 9, Subsection 8: “To assist in the maintenance of world order
and, for this purpose, when the President shall recommend, to vest
jurisdiction in international legislative, judicial and administrative
agencies.”), and there will be two Vice-Presidents. A hundred Senators
will be appointed by the President for lifetime terms, not elected; and
there would be 400 members in the House of Representatives. Each of
the 100 Congressional Districts will elect three for a three year term;
and 100 will be elected by the entire country, to serve a nine year term,
and only they can become Committee Chairmen.With the completion of the proposed Newstates Constitution, Vice
President Nelson Rockefeller, president of the U.S. Senate, developed
support for the introduction of HCR 28, which called for an unlimited
Constitutional Convention in 1976. Swift public opposition soundly
defeated this attempt, so the Convention supporters then went to the
states promoting a “limited convention for the purpose of adding a
balanced budget amendment.” They were able to convince 32 of the
required 34 states to pass resolutions calling for a convention. The last
state to sign on was Missouri in 1983, but after that, the legislatures in
three states (Alabama, Florida and Louisiana) realized the
consequences of their actions and rescinded their call.It is ironic, but organizations claiming to be “conservative,” seem to be
the strongest supporters for a convention. Most notable are: American
Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), National Taxpayers’ Union
(NTU), Republican National Committee (RNC), and the Committee on
the Constitutional System (CCS).In 1992, Ross Perot, who had become a political force to be reckoned
with, publicly called for a Constitutional Convention. In guest
appearances with Barbara Walters, Phil Donahue and Larry King he
