NYC General Assembly # Occupy Wall Street

Well, I see that none of you has yet prescribed a method of changing the approval rating of Congress, lol. Some want to keep things the way they are, hoping that Congress will have the courage to slice it’s own […]

My apologies for my curt behavior. It is a gift from Uncle Sam that I was awarded many years ago, and I sometimes have difficulties dealing with it. I am not one to boot someone for their opinions normally, but […]

Well, I would say that this argument was pretty well shot to pieces, in the most literal sense, from the years 1861-1865 when the Confederate States revolted against “national authority”. So, here we are in […]

“Dillon v. Gloss, 256 U.S. 368 (1921)[1], was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that if the United States Congress—when […]

I find it offensive that a lawyer would not understand the differences between “tortious duty” and “fiduciary duty”, and then use the faulty version to prop up his argument against an Article V […]

I can’t answer that one, Jack. I have my avenues to discuss it, and others have their own avenues. I’m certain that the media is aware of it, but since the media is in the hands of the 1% they might be sitting […]

Enough states have already sent out the call for the convention to take place. The records have all been posted online. The State of Florida is now calling for a new convention in order to ONLY write an […]

Well, it looks like not one citizen from within NYCGA has taken up the effort to learn about the Article V convention, its strengths and abilities to override the fascism of the nation, or its long-term effects in […]

I don’t think Florida has got the big picture yet. They can’t yell out that there is a fire in the nation, and then say, “Oh sorry! My bad . . .”. They called the convention, they cannot uncall it for the […]

@Jack Siler! I thank you for restoring my faith in the ability to have an open political discourse. I am well aware of the magnitude of the Article V process, and since it has never been completely legislatively […]

With one more thought on the subject. While the rest of us that are familiar with the entire subject matter of an Article V convention see the HUGE amount of work that needs to be undertaken, the few at NYCGA […]

Steve, I have been down this road before with you folks, and I personally see no need to repeat the process that leads me around in circles.

If you don’t think it is a good idea, then say so. If you think […]
