The American character is one of optimism; the indispensable quality of a free people. But as power has been consolidated by the elites inside Washington’s Beltway, the greatest risk is that our innate optimism will be replaced with despair.
In this follow-up to “Amendments Without Congress: A Timely Gift from the Founders”, the case is made for a number of reformative amendments designed to reduce Washington’s power and influence to what was thought appropriate by the Founding generation.
But the entrenched pols and their enablers cannot be expected to cede power willingly — it must be taken from them and it must be done Constitutionally. The reforms discussed herein are only possible using the second method of proposing amendments detailed in “Amendments Without Congress.” By these tactics, Washington’s formidable defenses are first circumvented, then undermined — leaving the ruling class exposed to the righteous remedies of a citizenry taken to the edge of ruin.
We are now at the place where soft tyrannies become harder, where opportunities not seized, are lost, and where our fate as a nation may well be sealed. The task of restoring liberty has fallen to the current generation — and these are the reforms that must be implemented.
