Politicians are the root cause of 90% of the issues in this Country and it will NOT get any better until we the people get completely rid of the politicians and the lawyers, most of the politicians are lawyers! Now is the time for we the people to stand up and bring back the original 13th amendment which was ratified by the required number of states in this Country at the time. It was ignored because of the lawyers who raped this Country and are still raping our Country today. LAWYERS MUST NOT BE ALLOWED IN GOVERNMENT EVER AS LAWYERS ARE THE ROOT OF MOST ISSUES IN THIS COUNTRY TODAY, LAWYERS MUST BE REMOVED FROM GOVERNMENT FOREVER.
Yes, politicians are the problem, on both sides. I have been an independent voter for many years. I see people fighting back and forth arguing for their party. They are treating this crisis that has been created by the politicians to suppress our way of life like they are rooting for a sports team. They need to see the big picture - we are being controlled to suit the politicians and their agendas! If people want to view this as a sporting event, then it should be "we the people" against the "suppressing politicians"!! Let's not forget how the media is against the people as well, they want to keep the fear going to keep people clicking on their stories for ratings!
Lawyers aren't the problem. In fact someting like at least a third or more of the Founders were lawyers. It is just greedy and corrupt people, and they come from all kinds of backgrounds. But once they get into office they have to be strong or they become corrupt.
All political parties are corrupt, including the DNC and RNC.
George Washington said it will be that way.
Convention of States is a grassroots movement to restore the nation to the law and proper standards.
George Washington:got it right. And we need either term limits or the abolishing of political parties. Repeal of the 17th amendment is also a great idea.
Washington said:
"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
