    Why do left-wing writers insist on frightening people? 75%+ approval for whatever is proposed mathematically precludes partisan nonsense from becoming part of the Constitution. What we'll find out, its that everyone (most everyone) agrees that private money in the form of campaign contributions corrupts public policy. Solution: publicly fund elections. foavc.org Arizona has called a planning convention for September 12th in Phoenix.

    We can't see the end from the beginning of the process--we can't predetermine the outcome--but we *can* sit down together from whatever ideological backgrounds are represented, hash out the means to rein in the abuses of the federal government, and then send those one-state-one-vote amendments back to the states for ratification by 3/4's of them. Better this than doing nothing at all on the basis that something worse would happen. "Worse" is happening now. The frog swimming frantically in the increasingly warming pot is nearly dead and doesn't know it.

    Deep South? Excuse me, but when I last looked at the map (and at the history of the Civil War), Indiana, Arizona and Alaska were about as far removed from the Confederacy as possible, and NONE of these states is calling for secession! If these unnamed "critics" of Article V of our Constitution are trying to marginalize the very process which was CREATED by the Framers themselves, then I think it might be advisable for you to look a little closer at their hidden priorities, and spend a little less time and ink promoting their fallacies.

    Glad to hear that!
  • Reply to: Betsy DeVos Ethics Report Reveals Ties to Student Debt Collection Firm   7 years 5 months ago
    How unusual that a debt collection company would receive complaints... Not... Devos is a billionaire. She has many investments, and a portfolio company that made a loan to a debt collection company that has a portion of their business collecting student loans probably flew under her radar. Let's hope she can fix the DoE - the public education system has continually declining results, while costs continue to escalate at over 6x the rate of inflation.
