Gordie Hayuk - "Why do people hate Congress?" by Victor Davis Hanson doesn't even come
close to the reason. Let's take a look at one of those reasons, because every single member has violated Article V of the Constitution.
The small petty crimes of a few members of
Congress doesn't add up to the searing hate Hanson and others have described in various treatises upon the unpopularity of Congress right now.

Arrogance on high, is what I call it. Every member of Congress
is in violation of their oath of office, a criminal act according to the
U.S. Solicitor General. If that were not enough, every member of
Congress is in violation of the U.S. Constitution by not calling a
convention according to Article V of the U.S. Constitution. Article V, a
gift to 'We the people' by the Framers of the U.S. Constitution,
mandates the peremptory call for a convention. Peremptory, for those
who are unsure of it's meaning in relation to Article V, means "...not
open to appeal or challenge; final." So one must ask why Congress has
failed to call a convention as specified in Article V of the U.S.
Constitution.

Article
V is absolute in its wording, it requires that only 34 states apply for
an Article V Amendments Convention. However, to date, over 700
applications are on record without Congress calling a convention as
mandated by the highest law of the land. Congress has been sweeping
them under the under the rug, so the saying goes, to avoid at all cost
giving 'We the people' the green light to propose, draft and finalize
our own Constitutional Amendments and submit them for ratification to
all 50 states. Only upon ratification by 38 states does any
Constitutional Amendment become law.

One
could theorize why Congress refuses to follow the U.S. Constitution,
and come up with more than one reason, but Constitutional scholars agree
that Congress fears any amendments that could be crafted as carefully
as Article V itself. Why do they have that fear.

Well here are some of the reasons on the short list: 1) Supreme Court Reform, 2)
States Rights Amendment, 3) Legislative Process Reform, 4) Repeal the
17th Amendment, 5) Campaign Financing Reform, 6) Balanced Budget
Amendment, 7) Term Limits Amendment, 8) Right To Life Amendment, 9)
Create Regional Government, 10) Vote on Taxes, 11) Immigration Reform,
and 12) Fair tax Amendment. So the only question now is: Do you think
the United States would have fewer ongoing problems if Congress were
pressured by millions of citizens to call an Article V Amendment
Convention?

The dedicated delegates of ConventionUSA will soon begin a Virtual Online Amendments Convention to
demonstrate there is nothing to fear from an Article V Amendments
Convention. It will not be "run-away" as some claim, and it will not
change the entire U.S. Constitution, as some claim. 'We the people'
need to bring the Amendments up to date and stop the rush toward
tyranny.

"The government can't fool all of the people all the time, but in a democracy that's not necessary.
In a democracy all the government has to do is fool most of the people most of the time,
and if the controlled media and the government are working together that's easy.
