Convention of States - A Modern Mayflower for the Common Man

 By CE "Chuck" Marshall 




     I have written several times- including a series back in 2020- regarding the need for a Convention of States to pull back power from the federal government.  This continues to be a need in society and it is most evident by the resistance to the idea by the ruling elite of our country and even our world;  The Media, Corporations, Academia,  Banking, Pharmaceuticals, Political Parties, and big government advocates within the government itself.   The government has become a behemoth.  An  elephantine, gargantuan blubbery mess of red tape, bureaucracy, and cronyism.  The last person on earth any of them has any concern for is the common man.  To monitor how effective an idea such as COS could be is to monitor how much these groups hate the idea,  and they really hate this idea.  Why?  It removes their power to one degree or another and lets us "commoners" rule ourselves much like the Pilgrims and our ancestors did in their voyage to America to escape the tyrants of Europe- Kings, Queens and dictatorial church doctrine.  You could say the COS is a modern version of the Mayflower- sailing away from mother Europe and all its phony, self important royals who claim to have great concern for "their people" when nothing could be further from the truth (although it could very well be true in their own heads).  I've tried to develop a term to refer to the modern tyrants we live under- "Mad King George" I tried but that's too comical and benign.  Big Brother fits the mold but George Orwell beat me to it- although if you've read the book it's really so very apt.  Perhaps "Brave New World" has some terminology that could be drawn out so any reader that has a suggestion please do so!

    Anyway, for the month of November I will be re-posting my 4 part series on the COS for all to read and consider.  You are a citizen of the United States of America - this is an avenue for you to get your power back.  An avenue to shake off the shackles of the real oppression we are feeling as the government and the greater society of the modern world continue to decide for us what is best for us.  Get off your asses and start doing it.  

Perhaps that's the title I need for them-   "The Great Deciders" ?
