Convention of the States: Is a billionaire-funded coup to rewrite the Constitution on the verge of happening?
The Wisconsin GOP is calling for a constitutional convention — only five more states are needed to make it happen
“Imagine if the U.S. Constitution barred the EPA and Department of Education from existing. All union protections are dead, there are no more federal workplace safety standards, and even child-labor laws are struck down, along with a national minimum wage.
Imagine that the Constitution makes it illegal for the federal government to protect you from big polluters, big banks and even big food and pharma — all are free to rip you off or poison you all they want, and your only remedy is in state courts and legislatures, because the Constitution prevents Congress from doing anything about any of it. The federal government can’t even enforce voting or civil rights laws.
To add injury to insult, the federal government has to shut down Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, because all of these programs (along with food stamps, housing supports and any programs that help the middle class, the less fortunate or disabled) are ‘beyond the reach’ of what the federal government can do.”

Above is a snippet of article, you can learn more about it online. All Republicans , ex Tea partiers, Beck, Hannity, Rush, Kasich, all the elites who do not want to pay taxes especially FICA, they have enough to retire on, you will see rioting in the streets unless the Pubs plan on the state militias.
We are better to let Texas to succeed from the Union since this is where it started, they can take WI with them, since Walker has ruined the state.
This is what all you who voted for DT want, well your are going to get it and get it good.
What makes you think the states are not capable of these things on their own?
Because I have seen what GOP states have done to the ACA and not expanding Medicaid, and I have seen the gerrymandering on steroids in MI. I would never want to live under GOP rule, nor do I want my grandchildren to be slaves for them.
