I used to be involved with the Cos Project in Omaha NE. MM and some liberals decided to remove me from their cadre - which seem to be in bed with a state legislature, Ne Eagle Forum, Jeanie from Nevada,...etc. I was trying to defend MM by questioning a hit piece out put by NEF et. al. at a rally/ speech at the State Capital. MM was there but came on late - so he didn't witness what went on, but took the word of some "so called" conservatives in a "so called Conservative coalition of Nebraska". He didn't care to talk to me - just took their word and had me removed from the group! Not really who he says he is? Where I differ now some 3-3 years later and after extensive reading, and in view of current assaults by Governors, legislators - is that like in pre 1776 thru 1787 and after - we can't even trust the state gov'ts - so why would we let the legislatures control OUR applications for an Article V COS? Our DOI says ... so wouldn't the FF's have meant for "we the people" to organize it, control it ourselves - with no involvement by Congress or State Legislatures- other than by accepting, transmitting, and recording the Amendments WE the people Ratify - in our own State Conventions - of our delegates - not selected by or involving federal or state office holders or legislators??? When....it is your right, your duty ...! So maybe we need to convince MM, Rob Natleson, and those that insist it would become a "Con Con" that maybe they don't understand our history and involvement of regular citizens in forming the nation and the Constitution. Professors and Progressives be damned!
In Lincoln it’s Kate Bolz that gets contacted and she’s a big fat NO on COS. Democrat wants her shot in washington to take Fortenberry’s seat. She’s no friend of citizens that dont see it her way. I got trolled by the baker in Omaha running for Bacons seat, I believe
I belive she is the one that declared "...we can't afford to send the whole legislature to a convention..." during debate on the floor about two years ago!

Wow! I thought this forum was about Reopening America? Not hearing that here. We need to get our poop in a group, people, or all of this will be moot - there will be no Republic to save. We will not even be allowed forums like this. Don't think it can happen here?
I am new to this but I am very worried about losing our Republic! At 77, my weorry is for those who come after me. I have been in favor of COS but at the moment I feel the concern is saving our economy from those who would destroy it to effect change.
The point being - "...when that Gov't....it is your right, your duty, to ...."! Do you not think that the FF's meant a citizens method of amending he existing "Charter" - rather than inciting another violent revolution? Who thinks that the other two branches of our Gov't are , or will, do their job as intended by the framers! Save the Republic? Start by trying your own COS - right in your own NH, City, County, St, then A National! But you have to "Petition" (as in the king) your Gov't by state to get the required number..If that doesn't shake them up, and they don't respond by calling it - then the real revolution can begin. That would be ours - to undue what appears to be a coup or French style Revolution - now proceeding before our very eyes!
