ALEC working for a constitution at the same time they want to silence dissent from CFA (or any other dissent) bodes ill for any society foolish enough to Trust them with anything dealing with our Constitution. Right off the bat, some of them work to oust others. Neither is a group that I would trust to create a government for the millions of citizens many of whom would be the first to be silenced by these authoritarian and oligarchic types of thinking.
Even under the terms of our allegedly inadequate framework, they already control a majority of the nations laws. It is insane to wish they had more power that they would have if they wrote a constitution to their specs. They wish increased fascist control and Dont' Trust Them one iota.
I see nothing wrong with a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. We need to get a grip on sending in this country. Eventually it all must be paid back.
Do you really want power such as that turned over to a bunch of corrupt localized institutions that don't listen to the same people in which they govern? Maybe (just maybe) LOOK at the larger context of what you are proposing - and further HOW IT AFFECTS YOU! If you do what you are proposing, you take away your own rights.
Just a thought...
