Winter is coming. Instead of fading away into the snow or getting arrested for blocking traffic or camping without a permit; if you're going to get arrested anyway, why don't you start occupying the banks and financial institutions that benefited the most from the fixed gambling casino that passes for a free market in the God-Given United States of America. Amen
Occupy something that matters like support for the US constitution. We have not had a constitutional government for 140 years. If had one, all of the problems OWS brings forth would not have occured. At least 7 wars wouldn't have.---
Agreement is what works. Then action consistent with the agreement.
Article 5 of the US constitution.
Congress is very afraid of an Article V.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_to_propose_amendments_to_the_United_States_Constitution "Congress acted preemptively to propose the amendments instead. At least four amendments (the Seventeenth, Twenty-First, Twenty-Second, and Twenty-Fifth Amendments) have been identified as being proposed by Congress at least partly in response to the threat of an Article V convention."
Our first right in our contract is Article V, the right to have congress convene delgates when 2/3 of the states have applied for an amendatory convention.
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.-------
