RECLAIMING AMERICA THROUGH "SINGLE ISSUE" CONVENTIONS

Summary of "Single Issue" Convention Strategies

The States will be completing their Legislative Calls and Addendum Agreements on Congress for each of Citizen Initiatives' proposed Amendments to the United States Constitution.  Congress will be instructed to convene "Single Issue" Conventions as explained in this web site.  We will be pressuring Congress to send each Amendment to the States for ratification voluntarily and before the States force it to convene each Amendment's "Single Issue" Convention.  If this happens the Calling States are agreeing to withdraw their Calls for the subject  Convention.  In either case, whether Congress sends the Amendment to the States for ratification or is forced to convene "Single Issue" Conventions, citizen's will be reclaiming America's Constitution and citizen Rights after each Amendment is ratified by the States. 

The States alone have the authority to “limit” the agenda and authority of a Federal Convention.  The States alone can Call for a “Single Issue” Convention by agreeing among themselves the purpose, terms, conditions, duration, and agenda for the Convention.  Congress does not have the authority to define a “Single Issue” Convention.  Congress’ authority, under Article V of the United States Constitution, empowers it to convene a Convention as Called for and defined by the Several States.  The Several States alone have the authority to enforce the terms and conditions set forth in the Legislative Call and Addendum Agreements between the Calling States.  An accurate history of how the States controlled the agenda, proceedings and outcome of the Federal Convention in Philadelphia is presented in Charles Kacprowicz's - RECLAIMING AMERICA through SINGLE ISSUE Federal Conventions.  A detailed explanation of why Incremental Legislation has failed to preserve America's heritage is also explained. 

Article V of the United States Constitution reserves to the Several States the right to "Call" for a Federal Convention for the purpose of amending the United States Constitution when Congress and/or the Courts refuse to address an egregious wrong suffered by the people. 

Article IV, Section 4 guarantees to every State a Republican form of Government which gives each State equal standing when Calling for a Constitutional Convention.
