If we’re to take the country back…“Non-violent revolution must burn in the hearts of patriots across the country like a raging fire.”

The two party system is “self reinforcing” and self perpetuating! We must coopt them, NOT the reverse.

Thanks for the comments.

RTD 7 really is tied to RTD 6 - defining the General Welfare, Commerce and Necessary & Proper Clauses. Once defined, RTD 7 then by Constitution Authority forces any future congress from exceeding these. Indeed, the 10th Amendment does have the power to achieve a similar goal, but in reality, it’s too subjective. The goal of these RTD’s is to try and lock Congress in a box from which they never ever can escape.

Term limits while a popular idea really doesn’t get us to the goal of the Founder…a very small central government. So, while seemingly a solution, from my view, it distracts from the real debate we need to have and will hopefully be published on the 10th Amendment Center site in the very near future. That debate revolves around whether we are or are not a country still under the authority of the original meaning of our Charter Documents; the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. To me, that’s the real debate we need to have and let the chips fall where they may.

Thanks again for the comments. Mark

Q. — RTD 7 (not exceed the Enumerated Powers in Article 1 Section — is this one necessary, given that we already have the 10th Amendment. Don’t quite see how RTD 7 is different. (I thought the 10th was supposed to take care of this.)

Q. — Term limits — this idea seems urgent and necessary as well. No? We have an ossified, privileged, arrogant elite installed in there forever, we need to shake these boogers out and get some regular folks in there. Wouldn’t this fit somewhere too into one of your proposed amendments?
