All the Presidential Candidates Are Cowards

Every Candidate Wants You to Stay Ignorant of the Best Kept Political Secret - Ever

Virtually all Americans do not know what all the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates know. It is one of the best kept secrets - ever.

There is a piece of the U.S. Constitution that has been consistently disobeyed by the federal government during the entire history of the country. This is it in a nutshell: Article V says that if two-thirds of state legislatures request Congress for a convention to propose constitutional amendments, then Congress "shall" call such a convention.

But no such amendment convention has been created. Even though there have been over 500 such state legislature requests from all 50 states. Congress has always refused to call an Article V convention, despite the one and only specified requirement in the Constitution being fulfilled.

All of the amendments that have been made to the Constitution have been proposed by Congress, the other specified route in Article V. Clearly, Congress has never wanted to share power. And note that whether a proposed constitutional amendment is initiated by Congress or an Article V convention it faces exactly the same ratification requirements by states.

Over the years there have been countless attempts to get an Article V convention. But virtually all organized special interests on the political left and right have opposed a convention. People and groups with political power - usually because they have enough money to influence and corrupt members of Congress are afraid of an Article V convention. Why? Because once Congress calls a convention the federal government - Congress, the White House and the Supreme Court - have no control over the convention. State delegates to the convention are free to consider whatever they want.
