so we always make sure that you start on time viendo sorry that's right so we are here obviously talking about the convention mistakes this solution thing is the problem was finding what that tagline means by the time we get to be in this presentation you guys will have a good idea why is you're proposing this idea and which introduced yourself my name is Ken Clark I'm the original director for conventional States I am all the southeast division man Colorado so I cover 11 states and it keeps me very very busy and I'm just a cook on the state director for the state of Colorado then that in that position since December and we are working to create grassroots army and pass an application or convention of states in the 2017 session that's what we're going to be talking about today so let's start with the problem say it's the solution as big as the problem what problem are we talking about what's happened to my country sure that each and every single one of you ask yourself that question when you simply to watch the news Elizabeth on radio and listen to what's going on in the world what in the heck happened it's my country this is nothing like what we were promised this is not where we were supposed to be in 2016 we've got four problems they all started with water we got spending we've got regulation we've got subjugation and we got collusion when it comes to spending we go you're 19 three million dollars in debt because of budget deficits that have stacked up over the years trillions more in unfunded liabilities trillions born in unfunded liabilities you have never visited the u.s. debt clock if you've never visited us that Clause is too terrifying and sort of fascinating hypnotizing thing to watch for a while ostensibly each taxpayer owes 160 1188 dollars right now you add in the unfunded liabilities 857 thousand six hundred and fifty eight dollars of taxpayer that's what they're saddled you with and as you continue salary of it they have no desire pull back on that in any way shape or form so i suggest ever going to start recording tomorrow exactly this is more than one hundred percent on gross domestic product it's not that we can eyes yeah bookmaking care of it this is unsustainable it's immoral and it's caused by Washington so let's talk about regulation anybody like the IRS anybody like the EPA how about the BLM anybody liking to that those bureaucracies run without or Congress they make their own policies they do with their body and the amount of regular regulation is the on comprehension each and every person in this room is a walking talking fella they project that pretty much every citizen in America commit six felonies a day because it is impossible to know what's in the bag federal regulatory code there is no accountability none they're not even accountable to Congress they just make up their own policies and do what they want by the way ok it has made us and this is a statistic that I was unfamiliar with each and every man name is now seventy two percent for since nineteen forty nine as a result of this regulation and who are you going to fight when the EPA shows up at your front door because you built upon my home after you went through the city or county government and the state government and got all the rules EPA swoops down the girl brother maybe forty seven thousand dollars earlier which you have not that is a problem it's unconstitutional it's crushing to business and individuals and it is caused by Washington DC we also see a problem where the states have been subjugated to federal authorities it's not goes to work the states have been bribed of these federal grants and how these mandates that are attached to those grants they become regional authorities for the federal government instead of sovereign states that our founders intended for them to be what is often attached to these federal grants also is a radical social agenda Common Core anybody anybody this is exactly what's going on thirty or forty percent of colorado state budget year is controlled by the federal government not by our generals that way not by our state legislators the federal government is telling us what we can do with our money because of expanded ease we've got situation where states and pledged fealty like in a fuel system to washington to washington DC they've lost their sovereignty this is all been caused by the washington so let's talk about collusion limited government versus limiting our constitution was set up some the states would be siren entities with a limited federal government to do things like god i'm at the national defense okay and help with trade things of that nature checks and balances the three bank branches of government that the forebrain was the states we know that the three ventures of the federal government are but the states were the ones that were supposed to keep the federal government in check snow over the case so their system is you scratch my back exactly and april this year let's face it the ohm doesn't matter which party is the party's one day making trouble first drink so they can enrich their benefactors industry they decide and why they think they do obey all the way across by Washington DC this is not a partisan issue it really shouldn't be a partisan issue obviously we're talking to you closer to western conservative summit I think the conservatives instinctively understand this but there are folks out there across the aisle who realized that decision making easily made at a local level not being done 1400 miles away in Washington is Colorado's need to make decisions for Coloradans that is exactly what we need to go remember that who decides the law is just as important as what the law is it should be our state legislature so who is to determine how much that is ok how much regulation is okay what will be the balance of power in the States who decides what in your life is it going to be Washington DC is it going to be you are you going to take that role Washington's not gonna fix things up there are too many people to benefit from the status quo to the conclusion unless some political force outside Washington DC intermittence the federal government will continue to bankrupt us legitimate authority of the states and destroy the liberty of the people let me ask you this question anybody here believe that Washington DC's can fix itself anyone but then not it will not happen there's too much manpower that's absolutely right you know they change to the size we can change back that's what the solution comes in what can we do what are their approach basically you know they're probably here about problems like okay what is the solution how how can we fix is what our options or the past we can go down we see for there are four possible solutions to this we can do help it we could just maintain the status quo and hope that it suddenly writes itself we can let the right people to Washington that's what they go with your quite a bit no application is another one that you're going to hear every once in a while that you know based on the Tenth Amendment sounds good sounds like it's based on the Constitution which I thought that and then article 5 which is what we're here to talk about today so what are we gonna do anything nothing routine right wha she stays the same well which exactly it's going to get worse okay doing nothing well to continue is what got us here in the first books right and unfortunately we the people weren't paying attention started right after World War two after we got back home and we were greatest generation we were the greatest nation people went to work and they started taking care of their families and they did the right thing and they thought DC would take care of itself they were doing nothing will ultimately allow this country to fall off that fiscal cliff it will happen only real question is when unless an outside force interviews absolutely so we know like the right people to Washington that's something that you'll hear a lot in a conference like this how is that working out for us just ask Republican majorities we have Republican majorities in both houses from 1995 to 2007 and now he's the we had recovered rarities in both houses right now oh look at that swell up areas that's enough time to get stuff done right these are the people who are supposed to go into Washington to fix our country to save us what happened from nineteen ninety five to two thousand seven Republicans increase the debt ninety-two percent in those 12 years they almost doubled our deck we're quite sad actually nine million dollars increase the Code of Federal Regulations it's a 200 volume set only regulation read me just highlight you think had an offer from Lucia party event 134,000 cages when they started in 1995 2007 156,000 pages it was not going down they were not decreasing regulation they were not increasing the burden on our small businesses is a sixteen percent increase and they may look at that and say that it was only sixteen percent yeah that's the problem it's not supposed to be going in that direction at all there was no decrease in the size scope for power of government period so let's talk about nullification all right first of all what is nullification as you can see not accepting federal federal funds without strings attached that every state should already be doing because let's take the my favorite one is when they force the drinking age up to 21 nationwide right if you didn't as a state raise your drinking age to 21 they pull all your federal highway dollars so in every state is forced to do it that's the black man okay declaring a federal action unconstitutional then declaring it bullet ok that will talk about or just a minute so states can should be the first one but let's talk about the same let's talk about that in detail so if the state says to you increase international that is unconstitutional great can't even nullify the dead anyone tend to know you can you can nullify the dead even if all 50 states jump up and down we don't accept the federal that it's federal debt not state that the states don't have the power to nullify states can multiply or they can notify the national debt they cannot nullify the federal agencies that are spying on us the NSA etc etc and they cannot make unilateral of this decision is for the president to take our nation to work they can't notify those now one thing I like to talk about when talking about nullification is the process the state's say we build let's say six second them and our states that said we're not going to observe those federal second menthols that the government wants right so that states taking the stand have the other 50 states taking that stand and let's say they do and let's say they do notify that law no avoid the next year Congress is in passionately then the next year we're going to nullify it then the next year they're going to passing and then I spotted on on you must really hate the kids because that's gonna keep going on for centuries the federal government will never give up camera so know if is making an option but it's not going to do the solution the Tenth Amendment its establishes principles now can anybody tell me what action moves there are in attendant actually extend them strike your name I was like for the COS jokes all right so under our 60 countries are going to be cover that one if you want there are ya sure ya so I say what he was just saying the temperament establishes a principled enough but nothing else so under Article 6 the Supreme Court is the Constitution in federal law sorry immune to the straight Constitution the federal laws are the supreme law of the land under article 6 of the Constitution so we have that ensconced within our constitution article 3 which covers the judiciary the supreme court determines whether or not a thorough law is constitutional so the Supreme Court is telling us what supreme quality it is not the individual states so when the state's say that's not constitutional the state's try to nullify that kind of thing I do not have that wording under the Constitution they do not have that authority so where are they of the Tenth Amendment where's the action verb our go far as it requires a purpose we amend the Constitution to clarify the meaning of the stuff the Supreme Court is totally perverted at this point in time the Commerce Clause necessary proper clause motor sputters oh my favorites of Commerce girl yeah these states that they it's easy for us to say and here's a lot of conservative circles it's easy for us to say that the feds are ignoring the constitution it's actually not the truth the feza pay great attention to the Constitution their pay greater attention to the Supreme Court why do you think they're fighting so hard to get majorities why do you think applies it's so hard to get Hillary in there because we've got at least four Supreme Court justices who are probably go turn over during this next term they want that court to be liberal so that it can be its purgative for their agenda you really have to go through the amendment process in order to change the supreme law plan is I wondered at something every time the supreme court makes a decision they're effectively amending the Constitution the Constitution that we all love and read you know with the amendments and the rights and all that that's not the one that's all of the Constitution that they follow in Washington DC is literally twenty eight hundred pages long every ten years they publish it and that is the Constitution as interpreted by the Supreme Court that is their constitution matters but thats there's not as intended has interpreted big days absolutely so i hope i've really when you're talking about the whole nullification article 5 is the ultimate validation procedure and it's the only one that's based in the Constitution is the only constitutionally based ready for this so the process how does all this work we keep talking about article 5 where this article 5 actually say the whole whenever two-thirds of Joseph Casson shows even necessary Congress shall propose amendments to the Constitution or the method on the application of the Legislature's of two-thirds of the several states shall call a convention for proposing amendments in either case they will go out to states for ratification so we've got two ways to do this Congress can do at which they've done 27 times or we can do it we have this power we have not yet exercised it to amend the Constitution in either case the states do have the power to ratify or not ratified those the proposed amendments process for method 2 is the 34 states in applications for the same issue the same topic and that's important to remember we'll get to that a little bit Congress is required it's a shop called just like Colorado as a shout issue stand for CCW is a shall call a convention air required to do so then the commissioners debate those emoticons your messages that you have to post none of them Coco Coco peasant stupid is her sense of the state and at the states ratified 38 three-fourths of the states 38 states ratified then it becomes burned the Constitution Fowler's included this because interview without a doubt in the fence we're going to see their tower thank you the heart of many they knew how this worked the most important check on of the power is article 5 they gave us this it gives the state's power over the feds which we have exercise so let's talk about the big picture what sets convention the states apart from the other article five movements that are out there because there are a lot of you've got balanced budget you got there's a bunch of and some of our really really good okay we've got a very unique application strategy convention estates project has chosen not to write an amendment and try to get the amendment pushed forth through the states we have decided that it is better to pick subjects rather than amendments and at the deliberative body that operates just like to say something here Colorado at the convention that delivered a body they will decide the verbiage of the amendments and although our down and if they vote up it will be pushed out through the states that they don't down it won't get that convention but it's based on subject matter rather than specific language of an am
ndment that sets us apart second thing is strong grassroots apart support we're the only organization in the history of the united states that have brought legislation simultaneously 34 states we did that we have gotten grassroots organizations in all 50 states we've got over 1.6 million supporters we've got 600,000 hard for volunteers active chapters in all 50 states we have state directors and leadership teams in all the only organ part of carbon fiber organization that has that kind of infrastructure we were founded by citizens for self-governance mark Meckler and his organization those are the guys of idolator's the IRS because the IRS targeting groups that's awesome mark mark McLaren my tricks might perish you may know him from his work without schooling he was the guy that made homeschooling legal in the sentence because illegal for them and it took him a lot of years but he was able to get it done partner groans from the cofounders of tea party patriots so that's a wheel international and I'm sorry and I mentioned states are 2013 so we're a very young organization we were founded in 2013 we've been a lot of bullet just about to Matthew and so we passed eight states what we've done so far as remarkable so our mission is to urgent in our state legislators to call a convention the states to propose amendments to the Constitution Constitution to curb the abuses of federal power that's our vision that's our mission states that is why Jesus okay so rather than call I are aware of this rather than call convention for a particular subject rather than specific amendment that's what we chosen to do and build a strong network of breath refreshments will support the three subjects are reigning in the Fed a size scope and jurisdiction anything that limits the size scope and jurisdiction of the federal government everybody I work that anything that creates this really straight on the federal government everybody on board with that and then the other one is turbos so let's talk about the risks on this because you know we talked about to listen it sounds pretty hard why has been developed what is water garden is against this this is so that it is worth it's going to store my questions are you walked in here having food aid in that article 5 not come on then possibly you how some as always we're going there were two glad to answer them for you so is it this first one isn't this a constitutional convention or I heard the term con con which is the nice way of saying constitutional yes nice and efficient low season flying something Joey Chandler yes well there's a very big difference I like to explain it this way that a constitutional conviction oh ok so we don't have any idea how this is the operating you don't have the historical precedent you might have heard that because it's never been done before right well the topic be anything the delegates want in other words will appear with whatever the convention opening up the Constitution for a complete rewrite will Congress won't commerce be the ones controlling an article by convention and not the states it's not a problem we need we need to be looking at and they're just 0 safeguards in this entire Constitution and read this entire process to protect the Constitution rogue delegates and George Soros and big booty men in the room these are the five questions I think I see some of you nodding your head so you've heard some of these before you want them answered right let's start with Nikon and I got everyone gets excited are you going to go so if one is good article i would use this to imply that this is going to receive like the fill convention that gave us our Constitution that's what they're trying to imply that we're coming together as States to rewrite the Constitution from very ground up it was a constitution that's not true and the reason is because the source of authority the philadelphia convention God is authority from sovereignty of states the residual silent even on the garden is a convention of Confederation the states are still sovereign entities and so that is how they eat together was asked sovereign entities just like four different create a tree that is exactly what the source of authority was for the Philadelphia prevention but there are 25 the authority is the Constitution itself and it is limited because of that is limited to proposing amendments to the Constitution that we already have so it's not a constitutional convention is the invention proposing amendments a convention hall under Article five obviously I do so that the finger remember about this con con argument here this is what it is a strong energy they want to argue against a constitutional convention we're not proposing in a constitutional convention so they're arguing against apples or proposing oranges remember that is a strong man they're setting it up so they have something with not the true merits of what we're trying to feel so how will this ever the states have met and conventions at least 33 times the last one stay in Colorado and they have based this used to be common reading practice for states where they had issues with each other they would get together and they saw the comment Colorado was involved in the last time I kept number here are the 15 to 19 22 yeah and absorbed water rights flourishes and they saw they got in the air fixed okay so we have a clear precedent because we had historical precedent on how conventions work it has been states have operated under the Convention rules 33 times this is not anything new we know for example from those of those conventions those 33 conventions have already happened it's always the state level always the procedures the fact the entire process is going to resemble the process that you deliberative body is not gonna look anything like it RNC convention in Cleveland it's not look anything like that is a deliberative body community policy that is how it will receive I mean Congress's with run away every time it needs it may be doing things with it's not a barbarous companies either is a halogen all soundly so can't be limited yes the simple answer is yes inherently in the resolution itself there are only three things on the table loading the power scope of federal government term limits and fiscal restraint for the federal government those are the only three things that are allowed there have been over 400 article five applications named by the states as a whole okay so ask yourself this question there are later than 400 applications and the subject doesn't matter right and then has been not in convention the state's already the answer that question is because the subject means everything if the subjects are not in line and those applications are not uniform there will be no convention they have the subject matters okay topics don't match that's one of the reasons that is cover that topic is integral to the application if they are not remain there will not be a convention Congress doesn't want a convention because that's why we're going to take a pair away and then only does happen so if the suck it didn't matter we will already have this is not practically we're so and even if you are convinced by that argument graduate station voting on this application convention of states application which by the way is is passed as a resolution through both chambers of the house here in Colorado through the house a new sign governor has no say in this there's it does not get signed it's a resolution so that's something to keep in mind anyway states are voting on the south for this subject this is what they want to come together to talk about so they're sent commissioners with instructions to cover these topics these are the things we want you to discuss these are the amendments than want you to consider the states are going to recall some of you goes off topic because we can send you there to talk about that we need to send you there to talk about the second and then when you can send you their top bottom vers relating to sending it we sent you there for one of three purposes imposed physical restraints and close terminus let the sizes go with federal government those three purposes anything else is going to be on topic before we get to this one I just wanted to add the states right the Commission for the Commissioner or the delegate to follow in some states they've done so far as to pass legislation that if the Commissioner does go there and try to throw something that's not germane they can spend time in jail it is a felony so the idea that this Indian remind the other fixin yeah exactly so the question about will Congress control that well congressman saw that we heard this from time to time let's let's talk about the reason why this was included in the Constitution the way that this is put together and this is horrible reasoning against it the reason it was included was to bypass Congress George Mason said the original of the original language article 5 before they change their in September 15 1787 said that the Congress remember two-thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary or on the application of two-thirds of legislatures of the stage cell proposed amendments in other words Congress was in charge of both processes they were immediately in charge of it on the one hand and they were secondary contradict on the other he had because the states had to apply the Congress's they would you please send us out you know please you know may be able to send artists application or this resolution or this amendment you're not going to do it and Mason said that's not going to work because the states are never going to be able to get the necessary methods to roll back the federal government if they exceed your power well guess what that's what you are George Mason saw this in 1787 put this in there and now it's time to use it now it's time for us to take care of those so that that's the reason why I was in there Marcus s is only method 'post clinton's that's the first method under our door five they have their own thing that they may get to control they don't get to control both processes be no reason to include in half those states to propose amendments if Congress is going to control both alone and just leave it out so their goal of this process perfect sorry I get excited you know passionate enough is they should formal home that's that's one thing they do they're called upon to do that article 5 second thing that they do is they get to choose between two different methods of the state gratification as the 22nd repealed prohibition used the conventional method right great the they can say States you're going to hold conventions in order to ratify this this amendment all the other 26 amendments have been ratified by the state legislators themselves but Congress Congress gets to make that choice and they issue the formal call that's all they do they don't suffer fools they don't determine who the commissioners are states do that the Commission's that are the delivery body has its own rules this is how it works states have holders will in this process so are there safe guys well yes there are a lot of redundant safeguards in this process and they have a lot of historical process at president first and foremost we've already covered covered the topic is specified in the application any proposals that go outside of the application itself are out of work they are out of order they cannot be brought up and there will be delegates from all 50 states out there and believe me if somebody decides they're gonna bring up something that's not you're making the application someone from texting to go that's our order that Commissioner is going to be recalled by Thursday and hopefully they will have hell to pay state legislators can't recall the faithless commissioners every state legislature has the power to recall a commissioner that is not acting according to their Commission and the Commission is simply the orders that the legislature gives them to follow while they are there so you're a handle agency long yeah and under under agency line basically the commissioners are going there as agents of the state so if you're for now having where's the room and maybe who really that's just blew my mind sorry right it is a good sign you're absolutely great it's also a horrible sight will be a state of politics or losses but i under agency lauded than the commissioners are acting changes for the state and so if they act outside saying if your insurance agent goes out and buys you a million-dollar policy if you never ask them to buy are you in the hood no you're not they're acting as your agent in their active employed Russians so they go outside the scope of their authority the ghost ash was employed purchase of that million-dollar policy is void and is the same year their actions are void if they are going outside the scope of their condition as agents of the state the state legislatures we will get some Q&A we're definitely gonna damage yeah the most is the most effective a car though of course in this process by far is the fact that all amendments have to be gratified by thirteen states what this means that you do the math is that with a single house 13 different states and blog ratification of amendment Justice Scalia actually pointed out it's probably be too difficult to amend the Constitution he made that comment it's probably too difficult he did the math lesson five percent of opposition bloc yeah so knowing that that's the case any growing them is to get out where's coalition of thirteen states in considering we have 31 state legislatures that are controlled by both houses are controlled by Republicans I think that we can block any attacks on our rights and freedoms I also think we've also shown that just can't happen yes but what's really interesting is that most of the particle pod could be defending this part out they don't want you to think about how easy it is the dimension is so lethal proposing amendments that establish the horrible precedent we know that the conditioning limited oh it has to be able to the convention has to be limited so our topics are just as you see here those physical restraints imposed term limits and limit the size and scale the federal government that those are the only three subjects that can be discussed at a convention estates for the purposes of proposing amendments that's it that's it that's nothing else the Bill of Rights is off the table everything in the bill rights is off the table absolutely any Congress has to thank all it send it out for application otherwise they have no role Congress does not control this process the only role they have as crystal let me point out shall call and then how will it be ratified that's it this whole process circumvents Congress it's certain events the Beltway it circumvents Washington DC is the power back to us through our state legislators and then of course as we were talking must be ratified by 38 states on 13 parking lot so as you solve this question given all the safeguards that it goes into the process give me answers to all of these which is more dangerous calling it article 5 convention that our founders intended for us to use during this time of dire need or sending the Supreme Court and the President and Congress to work every day I think I know the answer to that question how many think is article 5 at this point they are you so we do have our decision we've got a lot of opposition out there and they who aren't any opposition who are the opponents why are they against Allah said into this little bit okay so we get the jumper society they are actively opposing any are inclined resolution we've got the Eagle Forum Phyllis Schlafly they're actively opposing any article five resolutions our NGO nhu yard of the grammar McGraw fill their opposing it based on Second Amendment issues to fill exist and then they got progressive liberals they are wickedly opposed to this process because we're trying to stop Washington DC and as you are well aware Liberal Democrats like big government they live for so that those are pretty much who but who doesn't really answer the questions as to what their arguments that right well let's let's talk about what it was they're honest ethical reasons liberal progressive leaders were very elephant about th
t in Dimension Data sacrament on our geo do we have our geo members here's luck you guys sorry bracket on the governor's okay an nhe are that we mentioned earlier is the parent organizations National Association for gun rights so what are their art this is a little bit of time to talk about Chief Justice burger chief justice in the Supreme Court how many of you know who he was what is his signature decision roe v wade that's right chief justice in the supreme court robert burger gave us roaming lake right after that happen there was a nationwide movement based on article 5 to propose an amendment to the constitution to repeal roe v wade to overturn a Supreme Court decision if you remember the Eleventh Amendment of the Constitution was done to overturn a bad Supreme Court decision right so just as burger gots looking at this myth I don't want that to happen to me Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum reached out to Robert burger and ask him about article 5 he wrote a letter back to Phyllis Schlafly using words like con con using words like a runaway conviction using terms like that which you see in our opposition's emails today Justice burger gave us roe v wade whether you're pro-life or pro-choice that legislation if you've ever looked at it the gymnastics and the contortion it took to get that thing done was an abomination okay but he then he had never before written about article 5 he never again wrote about article 5 after that that was the only time he had never even looked at our by the Constitution was to write that better the killer style even for faces their entire our opposition to our profile based on nothing about that some of our opponents are militantly pro-life isn't in my mind rightfully so they are militantly pro I yet they use Chief Justice Robert herders letter demagoguing article 5 against us how on earth does that make sense it doesn't it doesn't make sense so that's what the Robert burger letter is all about and it really is the source of a lot of what we see coming from the opposition's 2 cos you mentioned to talk about a con con I mentioned earlier that's a straw man arguments and logical fallacy they're setting up an argument something that we are not arguing for it wasn't oranges talking about the runaway convention completely of course the state various especially the ratification piece in meeting 38 states to ratify any amendments talks about Congress and politicians being in charge of Nora a historical question Noriko p the only two roles that Congress has to play in this and instead of certain falsely the Congress could be a charge does paints the process is a black boxes school what I love you would have induced fear in people you want to get them to stand still out of fear then don't tell them what is actually involved process don't tell them how it happened actually getting from point A to point B just painted is a black boxes and on sales so I usually say we're sending our Constitution behind closed doors we won't know what they've done to our Constitution till white or black smoke comes out manner and remember that's way less the way that they paint this yes yes we have to pass it so we know what's in it that's not the case they would think about what a convention say especially in this day and age 24 hour news cycle type in the internet rush all the websites and all the ways of keeping Towson something like this the skin is going to be blown wide open 24-7 coverage should have every single funded weighing in on this pinion pieces in the wall street journal you know I got the economist for in whatever you know you're going to have you may have all of this covers it's gonna be incredibly transparent I know exactly who the delegates are we're going to know exactly what's going on in the committee's were thinking I was going on in the body of the pool we know all this whether it be the single most historical event in the United States politically says the 1787 convention get will be so you think people are to be paying attention to it you think some of the people in this room might have a problem with one of their commissioners get that and they might call them back yeah I think the guy I think they would be and what I wanted to make one other point as it refers to the Constitutional Convention there are two ways to amend the Constitution Congress can propose amendments States to propose amendments so Congress meets every single day right isn't that a constitutional convention would I say the same thing that's an excellent point and finally you'll see a lot it is mischaracterizing because it is called like convention for proposing amendments in our convention so when we think about those things when were in politics that is all of you are we think about the rnc we think about the DNC we think about balloon drops and lots of red white and blue and people who funny hats thats that's the way we see a convention based on what i described so far does any of you think that any of those things are going to be a feature or something like this and so it's ridiculous to make that parallel by again trying to Canada's chaos trying to induce fear then they added a few other documents generous on there for good measure will these corrupted officials magically start with paying the Constitution just because it's a monday we discussed earlier they're already opening the Constitution or paying very close attention to the Constitution their amending it through the courts there are many in a way states can't get back at it unless we follow this process gambling our constitutional way committed leftists a constitutional conditioning surrendering our rights to career politicians now I'm not a career politician well I again it says Constitutional Convention a constitutional convention compared to conventional States for the purposes of proposing amendments is like comparing a semi-tractor trailer to a tricycle because they both have rubber wheels they're two very different things exactly this is the process of all of this politicians this is not about our senators and congressmen about people that can people like me people like you getting involved we the peeples first three words the preamble the Constitution really was enough about we're the ones who delegated to the government we're the ones to main content so what I want you to remember is if somebody in the political arena is using those arguments using that kind of those kind of tactics to urge you to a course of action of hallways or econ course of action as the case may be always ask yourself what's in it always ask yourself what's in it for them why they ask community miss these groups go through political analysis to the side what direction they're going to go how we're going to spend their resources how it going to Rex what they guys at hand they ask four questions raising money does it help your friends does it hurt their enemies what is the outside gain versus the downside loss I know these groups I go have a function under their training and these are the four questions that they are using for political analysis here in the state of Colorado notice the one that's missing notice the one that's missing is this the right thing to do you need to ask yourself out before you guys any of the rest of this you need to ask yourself are we going to preserve Liberty in this way we are there any other options I don't see it is there any other valuable way to do this before we hit 25 trillion dollars in debt and 51 cents out of every collect tax dollars interest is there any way for us to do that before we close at five point seven trillion dollar gap my answer is no this is the only solution and so ask yourself when you see these arguments coming through the roof you see stopper II hear things in here people arguing against myth of us is a bad idea is dangerous ask yourself what's in it for them is it profitable to oppose rm45 is it profitable to maintain the status quo is it profitable for your rights to hang in the balance so that they are the David against the Goliath and they compete themselves any heroes by a hero's outfit are there any egos involved think about that when you're hearing stuff come across on this who are the friends that are supporting for the enemies that are closing ask yourself these things I'm not going to tell you the answer is I want you to think about when we were here darling this against Toronto fine here are the specific Lee against you gotta be much days thing is I'll always consider the source always ask yourself so let's talk about who the supporters are myself I'm including this item exact scenario Crisco she's an exact support there are other people in this room that I know are big supporters but mark levin you look at the amendments how many people read the breadth of the events powerful powerful book mark levin at mark Meckler were both working on article 5 at the same time neither what I'm doing neither one of a million but we have our chart of the five almost simultaneously with him watching his book Liberty events as he or not ya see why steam engine stays at office but it was not a coordinated effort neither one knew the other one was doing they came to their conclusions on their own sean hannity senator tom coburn dr. Noah as he was known as he would when he was seven Senator John Jeff Ron Johnson Colonel Allen West got it governor bobby jindal sarah palin my copic puppy Glenn neck also governor Abbott from Texas he came out with the entire Texas plan just like the Virginia Plan 1787 he knows what he wants the big man in Tennessee is working on the Tennessee plan now Louisiana is working Louisiana plan on and I elders they're taking this process very seriously we got 1.5 million oh it's a little outdated we're dating volunteers the two not automatic that are coming into the convention States so right now we're up to about 1.6 million volunteers people like you and people like it I went about Senator over for a second because he sees what for our big bases in cos point is he was almost right people who sent to Washington doctor doctor I mean that's he was one of those ranking will be sent to Washington him go back virtually no back up in the Senate no way to get that conservative agenda through no way to the safe harbor price because there was no back up there was a lot of rhinos in there we have a blog come across an error or obviously if I was due to preserving these rights and so forth so this is this process more I think about that and I think about sending the regular Washington let's give them something back let's give him a structure it allows them to put their foot down what at the Constitution instead of Cleveland foot down a point in their quarantine notice is the right Thank You Constitution says anyways you that that's what I see this process as one thing I about Senator Tom Coburn he's a cancer survivor and he has dedicated after he became well and went back into relation he that's one of reasons he loves the Senate and he is dedicated all of himself to the convention of states while he's still alive I know it's true story all rights plan how do you do this cover the process cos workings get viable political operations in three thousand least 3,000 or 4,000 State House districts in 40 states the way the convention organised is we are organized at the State House District levels so we've got 65 state representatives in the state of Colorado who wants 65 I went over to I want 65 district happens in each of those district captain's bringing in under people that's what we're hoping to do and working that geographic area creating a relationship with the representative the senator that represents them and having that all three of those pieces of district happens grassroots support within those districts and the legislators themselves coming together that's what our plan is we also have a state leadership team in place which supports those district happens supports those volunteers those supporters and make sure that everybody's got what they need everybody's you know got the resource still looking for that the ideas they're looking for bouncing things off each others really exciting to be a part of that state state director we have a legislative liaison as veteran came and she is down at the Capitol over in session talking to legislators she is our lobbyists program she's so sluggish is volunteer lobbyist that she is an obvious form letter turn got our grassroots coordinator living in cathallo who was expensive expensive building seems to people to julia's our coalition is director is sitting in the back of room original thank you Mary Jo Strasburg called out I always thought that I had to think about your name's Bennett and our media liaison also is the bathroom the guy with the camera Allen night just wave and then our staff and stuff because he's basically our head is in person so we've got a team how folks were dedicated to this idea all of the scholars here always working to make this a reality and state of Colorado and then we have our great national team starting to Ken and moving to the rest of the folks from there supporting us this is what grassroots looks like the grassroots activist for all the my political life this point and that it this is quite grass roots done right it was like we do this by training we do this by engaging our volunteers engaging supporters like you educating folks really exciting educational initiatives here over the next few months and then it activating and getting people ibex when someone the other day ninety-eight percent of politics is showing up that's all it you want people to show of it then here is when people show that the capital you know just showing up being a presence because that is what moves the needle it really does and then building those relationships building those relationships with other grassroots supporters and also with those legislators building those relationships what we're hearing from the states where the resolution is passed is the legislators who were the most steadfast would at least persuaded by the opposition we slightly wasn't we had the best relationships with but they knew the district happen in their district you allege that the situation in support doesn't make time and effort take the effort to create a French relationship with that legislators so that's what we're going to do here so how you
