For every dollar that California pays federal taxes, it only gets back 79 cents in federal spending(source:Tax Foundation)—and we won’t even get into unfunded mandates!
Given the above, an organized effort is now underway to call for a National Constitutional Convention as authorized under Article V of the Constitution. The ultimate aim of this Convention, as envisioned, will be the dismantlement of the federal government in its present configuration, and then reassemblement at the regional level. In essence, 10 (# flexible) republics will be created on American soil (state borders intact), each having the current Constitution and Bill of Rights as the basis of their new governments. Liken this to the breakup of AT&T into the baby bells some years back. This action has become necessary to diffuse the power of the largely self-serving, excessively greedy, globalist oligarchy that has hijacked our federal government, bringing this nation to the verge of economic and social ruin in the process.
