Our goal is to determine how the federal and state constitutions can be used to remedy our grievances relating to bailouts, public debt, wars, unsound money, corporate personhood and more.

    the problem here …. is that corporations are PERSONS… but not people.

    I was thinking we had it wrong. But I couldn’t find any support until today. What we had wrong is for state legislature to propose amendments. Article V contains the specific words “propose amemdments”. It is a […]
