TO: The Honorable Representatives of the State of Georgia
Senators of the Great State of Georgia
Dear Sir/Madam,
The purpose of this letter is to urge the Georgia State Legislator to introduce a Bill to announce its intentions to attend an Article V Convention. On January 2, 1788 John Wereat as President and delegate for Richmond County along with 25 other delegates ratified the United States Constitution in the City of Augusta on behalf of Georgia. In the United States Constitution our founding fathers protected the states by providing them the ability to Amend the United States Constitution with requests by two thirds of the states. Application by thirty-four (34) states automatically convenes the Article V Convention even if the United States Congress under Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) refuses to convene that Convention.
Article V states;
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
There are thirty-nine states initiating lawsuits1 against the Federal government for the recently passed health care reform H.R. 4872 Health Care and Educational Affordability Reconciliation Act 2010 (Obamacare); thirty-eight (38) states are required to ratify an Amendment. At the Article V Convention the states can Amend the United States Constitution to prohibit Obamacare in perpetuity. I also suggest that the 16th and 17th Amendments be repealed. The 16th Amendment is the Income Tax2 a Progressive Republican initiative shoved down America's throat under Woodrow Wilson's Democratic Congress – sound familiar? The 17th Amendment removed the last protection for the states when Senate elections were switched to popular vote versus appointment by State Legislatures.
The encroachment of the Federal government (Leviathan) over the past 100 years transcends political boundaries – the Leviathan will torment and abuse Democrats and Republicans alike. The Leviathan does not discriminate; black and white, rich and poor, young and old, people of all faiths will be equally abused without remorse. Unless we, the citizens of Georgia, protect ourselves this Leviathan will destroy Georgia families and lead to heart-break and the destruction of the individual. These are moral and fiscal dilemmas we can no longer ignore.
If you add the $500M unfunded mandates from Obamacare to SCHIP, Medicaid, Welfare, No Child Left Behind, and other programs, it is simply unsustainable. They are crushing state budgets and re directing money for infra-structure development, education, the environment, and other services into the black hole of entitlement spending. There is simply not enough wealth within the State of Georgia to pay for all of these unfunded mandates without tax hikes that destroy jobs and families.
I urge all of you on a bi-partisan basis to pass a bill and join other states to convene and attend an Article V Convention to protect your family, my family, all our families in the great State of Georgia. If you don't draw a line in the sand against this Leviathan it will result in the impoverishment of everyone in this state.
Please pass a bill. Notify Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Harry Reid (D-NV) that you intend to draw a line in the sand against the Leviathan.
Best Regards,
