Fire away and make it happen.

Read how amendments are passed and get enough to agree.

 

how much are you paid to post here?

 

Which ones would someone pay for? Lol

 

Some interesting ideas.

 

Article V
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.

How many steps have you taken to this end?
None?
Get busy. Report back on your progress.

 

We see here the -real- motivation behind the insanity offered by the Democrats with regard to the Kavanaugh confirmation.
See, they don't want to amend the constitution because it is too hard, too costly, and might cause them to lose elections -- and thus, their political power.
Indeed, they'd rather get a court - preferably -the- court make the changes for them.

Everything they do revolves around gaining and retaining as much partisan political power as they possibly can.

 

Fascinating.

 

Your joking right? The republicans are the ones that have done everything in their power to subvert the will of the majority by using constitutional technicalities to prevent the democrats from destroying them politically.

 

All STUPID !

California and New York will NOT decide who our President is

 

Those " technicalities " were put in place precisely to avoid tyranny of the majority which is what you are advocating


Sorry but the coastal left wing mega city shitholes do not get to dictate to everyone else.

 

I created a thread over a year ago on this subject.

http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/proposed-constitutional-amendments.507699/

 

So how much of a majority is needed before the will of the people (who lean left) finally get to see policies that we want and not be stuck in the past with things only about 30% at most want?

If the majority is not represented then its literal tyranny because the minority is deciding for the majority

 

Learn how the system works and win.
If you can't win stop whining.

Most of the people are not left wingers especially the radicals who have taken over the dnc

 

They had them counted.

 

Contact your representatives.

 

Most people want affordable college
Most people want UHC
Most people want a living wage tied to inflation
Most people want basic things like paid leave and vacations to be guarenteed
Most people want immigration reform.
Most people want police reform

 

Most do not want that crap actually hate to burst your bubble but your wrong

 

A lot more people would vote if they knew that their vote counted nationally. Why vote if you are a republican in cali or a democrat in texas?

 

Seen a poll recently? Stop watching fox. If the majority don't want this stuff then why are you against going to a system where the majority gets a majority of the representation? Can't have it both ways.

 

Don't wanna bother voting then don't.

 

Yes and your wrong

The majority does get more representation in the house


You do not get it anywhere however as the founding fathers worked to avoid
One good reason was to avoid the hairbrained schemes of the fringe groups . Those are the only ones supporting your ideas.

I always vote, I am sure when the democrats take the house and senate you will then be completely fine with what ever they pass as its how the system works right?

 

Are you against gerrymandering? You know thats the only reason republicans won the house right?
