"Single Issue" Amendment Committees.
INTERSTATE AGREEMENTS
DELEGATE LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTIONS
CONSTITUTIONAL
AUTHORITY IN THE STATES
The States alone have the
authority to “limit” the agenda and authority of a Federal Convention. The
Constitution does not authorize "Open" Conventions. The States alone can
Call for a “Single Issue” Convention to propose Amendments . When the
States agree among themselves through "Interstate Agreements", independent of their
"State Resolutions" Calling for a "Single Issue" Convention,
or through "Delegate Legislative Resolutions" they can determine the purpose, terms,
conditions, duration, and agenda at the Convention. The Delegates sent by
the States to a Convention are Ambassadors of the States, not independent
agents.
Congress does not have the
authority to define a “Single Issue” Convention. Congress’ authority,
under Article V of the United States Constitution, requires it to convene a
Convention as Called for and defined by the Several States.
The Constitution reserves to the States the right to "Call" for a
Constitutional Convention for the purpose of proposing Amendments when Congress and/or the Courts refuse to address an egregious
wrong suffered by the people.
Article V - United States Constitution -
"The
Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall
propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the
Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for
proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and
Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of
three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths
thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the
Congress; . . . "
The Constitution guarantees to every State a Republican
for of Government which gives each State
equal standing when Calling for a Convention.
Article IV, Section 4 - United States Constitution
-
“The
United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form
of Government, . . . ”
The States can reclaim the economic and moral high ground in America. We can reclaim our economy and Constitutional
heritage through "Single Issue" Federal Conventions one grievance at a time.
Join us in America's most critical
Constitutional battle in our history.
Become part of our
Committees of Correspondence.
Help
us select which Amendments to advance and formulate strategies for their success in
the States. Committees of
Correspondence are for
State Legislators, Business Leaders, Educators and concerned citizens - they are
free.
AMENDMENT COMMITTEES:
Supporters can also contribute to the advancement of specific Amendment
Initiatives by assuming an advisory role on selected Committees. Periodic
conference calls for Advisory Members provide a forum for discussions and
suggestions on how we may best secure the needed "Single issue" Calls
(Resolutions) on Congress from State Legislatures.
