Update 3/10/09 - It appears that this didn't make int othe 2009 session. I'm keeping this page up in case it rears its ugly head though.  -jt



TAKE ACTION!

Just say No!

No ConCon!

Stop HJR 0006!

No Con Con!



The calls for a Constitutional Convention look appealing enough. A balanced budget is a good thing. Or, reform on apportionment of house districts - gerrymandering.  The caveat here is there is no legal basis or likelihood that congress, state legislatures or the courts could confine a Constitutional Convention to a specific purpose. In reality, we DON'T want a Constitutional Convention that can be confined, is so, their purpose and power would be severly diminished.

In other words, once convened the chance for a 'runaway' convention that could substantially change any or ALL of our Constitution at one sitting, is very high. Considering the level of influence and control that special interest groups have over our government(s), it's not unthinkable that globalists would seek to modify our Constitution to formally strip away our rights and/or sovereignty.  It's widely thought that this IS the real agenda - call a con con, and subvert it to radically alter the Constitution.

Not since the Second Constitutional Convention has there been a need for another.   The congressional amendment process path has worked and proven to work.  If the true intent of these Con Con efforts is legitimate, we question why the organizers are not pursuing the tested and proven method of Congressional led amendments versus the call for a Constitutional Convention.


And now, the call for a Con Con is here in Indiana this legislative session for ours to battle.   HJR 0006, introduced By State Representative Ralph Foley House District 47, for this upcoming Indiana legislative session introduces a resolution for the State Assembly of Indiana to call for a Constitutional Convention for consideration of a Constitutional Conventionto consider an amendment on apportionment.  Help us stop House Joint Resolution 0006.

Mr. Foley represents most of Morgan county and parts of Hendricks, Johnson and Owen Counties. If you are a constituent of Mr. Foley, or know someone who might be, please take note: WE NEED YOUR SPECIFIC HELP IN PUTTING PRESSURE ON MR. FOLEY.  For the rest of us, we ALL need to contract our legislators and let them know we expect them to know all of the facts and to vote NO CON CON. As well, you can directly contact Representative Foley HERE.  Nonconstituent contact with a elected official typically doesn't sway a politician. However, if Mr. Foley gets a clear picture that he might be causing his fellow Representatives grief, he might back off.

Please click the Activism to lend your voice, the Issues tab for more information on WHY a ConCon is undesireable. and other tabs to help us  STOP HJR 0006.


Thanks for your time, we truly appreciate your help!

libertas!

Take Action!



We need YOUR help.  We CAN make a difference if we stand together.   Here, you'll find steps and aids to specific activism that you can take to help us STOP HJR 0006.




Contact your legislator. First and foremost, we put pressure on Representative Foley and all State Assembly Representatives and Senators through a direct contact campaign.   Call, send a email, write a letter. Please do ALL three.  INSIST on a response.  Share your letters and responses with us so we can encourage and help others by and with our example. To share with us, you can paste submissions in the comments window at the bottom of this page,  or email them to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  Please be sure to include a link to the video in the State Legislators be Aware Article V! in all of your correspondance.

Model legislation. I have modified model legislation used in Pennsylvania to rescind ANY Constitutional Convention calls for Indiana.  You can find a copy of it HERE.  Forward it to your legislature for consideration on submitting.

Spread the word, stay involved. This is a grassroots effort. We will probably need your help again. Diligence, persistence and tenacity are three factors we CAN control and affect that have proven results.  Tell your neighbors, family and friends.  Help distribute literature and fliers in your community.  We need as much help as we can get.  Please.

Future focused action. Our strength is our numbers and in organized, coordinated effort. At some future time we will do just that. So please signup for our email updates or RSS feeds (for our homepage or this category by clicking the RSS symbol in the left pane) to stay informed, engaged and available.

Political Activism - The American Tradition
Ways to make your views known:
1. Call members of congress.
2. Write letters to congress and letters to the editor in your local newspapers.
3. Online activism, in chat rooms and forums. Start your own web site.E-mail articles to friends. Use of the web has made a major impact on politics and has greatly helped the conservative cause.
4. Help conservative groups and campaigns.
5. Call radio talk shows.

Conservative's debating tactics:
1.  Pace yourself, be patient but consistent and firm. 
2.  Never state facts without sources. Use credible sources.
3.  Never exaggerate or misrepresent facts.
4.  Never resort to the sleazy tactics used by the opposition.
5.  Never start or enter a debate without knowledge of the issue.
6.  Never retreat when you know you are right. Finish with a firm statement and display confidence.
8.  Never allow the opposition to draw you off subject.
9.  Never under estimate the power of a lie or propaganda; don't let it go unanswered. Don't assume people won't believe it.
10.Never act, talk or conduct yourself in a manner that  diminishes or brings disrespect to the conservative cause.

 

Activism fundamentals


To a elected official you can be a pleasure or a pain.

Pick and focus on one. A thorn in the side, or their best friend. You catch more flys with honey than you do vinegar.


Pleasure for politicians: money or votes. Pain for politicians: Angry voters, bad press, no money, loss of party support, challenged in primary, public humiliation.

Effective method of moving politicians:
Write letters, insist on a reply.
Share and track replys. 
Write follow-ups.

Get the word out.
  • Find like minded individuals to aid in the campaign, make sure they stay informed.
  • Study the issue, become knowlegable and persuade associates, friends and family.
  • Prepare questions in advance, and seek out opportunities to question politicians on the issue whenever possible.
  • Follow the money.
  • Boycott financial supporters of mal-illed politicians.


Be prepared for a long fight.

Notes from Real Politics Seminar with Mike Rothfeld, August 31, 2008, Brooklyn Center, Mn.

Politicians suborn humanity for ambition.


They are ruled by ambition which reduces their behavior to the mechanical.

They are predictable and understandable

Are manipulatable

 

Politicians have a Pavlovian Response. Two forms of stimuli.

Pain and Pleasure.

 

PLEASURE
#1: money.
#2 Good press, praise, public endorsements.
#3 Getting others to attack their opponents for them.

 

Can't handle real time actions, or losing. Best way of pressuring them is with these two items.

Easiest way to get votes, is to buy them, hence entitlements. Of all sorts.

 

PAIN

#1 ANGRY VOTERS
No money.

Bad Press

Public humiliation (getting common, less effective of late)

Loss of party support.

Getting challenged in primary as an incumbent

 

Greatest force in politics - Inertia. Easiest, safest thing for a politician to do, is nothing. To move, need to mobilize and confront, apply force vectors to move the status quo box.

Morton Blackwell, Founder of the Leadership Institute. "Political Success is determined by the effectiveness and number of the activists on either side."

 

Politicians responses to Mobilization and Confrontation:

Ignore

Respond

 

Responses: Threaten, many direct and indirect ways..... powerful people with the ‘law' on their side. May approach you to 'Explain' the facts' or reply with: "If I don't follow the crowd something worse will happen".  May try to buy you off with prestige, privilege or entitlement.  Can be very good at sucking you in and then pigeon holeing you.  (hence sugar is better -jt)

Videos

This video explains Constitutional Conventions.  Developed for, and targeted at legislators, it still makes a very straight-forward argument that any citizen can understand. The video includes a long list of cited Judicial authorities who believe that a ConCon is dangerous and undesireable.

I've gathered the four parts of the YouTube videos on a playlist at our INCRC YouTube channel: Just say No! No Constitutional Conventions! The playlist is presented here in it's entirety. All four parts should play back to back.
