BARACK OBAMA AND HIS ALLIES ARE TRYING

TO CHANGE THE U.S. CONSTITUTION:

HELP US STOP A NEW CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION!

Dear Friend,

Barack Obama and his allies are trying to change the U.S. Constitution WITHOUT
FOLLOWING THE AMENDMENT PROCESS -- in fact, they're trying to rewrite the ENTIRE
CONSTITUTION -- and they're close to succeeding!

What would you think if an amendment to the U.S. Constitution was introduced by
liberal Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, which repealed the First
Amendment in the Bill of Rights -- taking away our right to Free Speech?

What would you think if an amendment to the U.S. Constitution was introduced by
liberal Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, which repealed the Second
Amendment in the Bill of Rights -- taking away our right to Keep and Bear Arms? (A
right that the U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld!)

"That could never happen," you say. "No one would allow it!" Right? Well...

Did you know that there are TWO ways that our Constitution can be changed? And did
you know that Pelosi, Reid and Barack Obama are using the less well-known way,
without having to actually introduce amendments?

IT'S TRUE -- and WE have to stop it NOW!

One way to change the Constitution is to go through the amendment process -- a


long and tedious process requiring two-thirds of both houses of Congress to pass
an amendment, and then three-fourths of the states to ratify it.

That means a "super-majority" of our representatives at the National and State


levels would have to be in favor of the amendment -- which safeguards us from the
possibility of really "bad" amendments.

BUT... there is one other way that our Constitution can be changed... and it DOES
NOT require all of those elected representatives to be in favor of it. It's called
a Constitutional Convention, and all that it requires is 34 states to ask Congress
to call one.
In fact, right now, all that is needed is for two more states to ask for a
Constitutional Convention... and the basic law of the land could be changed
forever by Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid!

WE NEED YOUR HELP, RIGHT NOW, TO STOP BARACK OBAMA


AND HIS ALLIES FROM CHANGING THE U.S. CONSTITUTION:

Most people don't realize that Article V of the Constitution requires Congress to
call a new Constitutional Convention (a "Con Con") if two-thirds (or 34) of the
states request it. We've only had one other "Con Con" in our history: the one
where the original Constitution was written in 1787!

The language of Article V is mandatory: it says that Congress "shall call a


Convention for proposing Amendments" whenever requests are received from two-
thirds of the states. Note that the word "amendments" is used in the plural. These
are the only instructions we have about a Constitutional Convention. There are no
other rules or guidelines.

We don't know how a Constitutional Convention would be apportioned, or how the


delegates would be elected. We don't know what rules the Convention would operate
under. We don't know whether changes to the Constitution could be proposed by a
simple majority, or would require a super majority, of those attending. We don't
know if the agenda could be limited or would be wide open to any proposal.

We don't know ANYTHING about how a Con Con would work -- which means that it will
come down to Congress setting the rules!

And Congress is controlled by the most radically liberal Democrats in American


history! Is that who we want to be in charge of a new Constitutional Convention?

Do we want BARACK OBAMA, NANCY PELOSI, and HARRY REID to completely rewrite our
most basic document of law?

WE NEED YOUR HELP, RIGHT NOW, TO STOP BARACK OBAMA


AND HIS ALLIES FROM CHANGING THE U.S. CONSTITUTION:

The fact is, under the vague language of Article V, a Constitutional Convention
cannot be limited. It would be wide open, and able to consider ANY change in the
Constitution that was proposed!

Former U. S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger once said, "There is no
effective way to limit or muzzle the actions of a Constitutional Convention. The
convention could make its own rules and set its own agenda."

The Stanford Law School Professor whose case-book is used in the majority of U.S.
law schools, Gerald Gunther, said that, even if Congress tried to limit the
Convention to one subject, the delegates could decide for themselves that the
Convention "is entitled to set its own agenda."

This means that, even if supporters of a "Con Con" claim that the convention would
only cover one issue -- whether it's a balanced budget amendment or removing the
requirement that to be eligible to serve as President, one must be a "natural born
citizen," or anything else -- there is NO WAY to stop the Convention from changing
EVERYTHING that we hold dear in America!

Barack Obama and his far-left supporters would be able to get THEIR people
appointed as delegates to the Convention, so that THEIR agendas would be the
Convention's agenda, and THEIR plans for socialism in America would come to pass.

Say BYE-BYE to the First Amendment's freedom of speech -- Rush Limbaugh and Sean
Hannity could be taken off the air.

Say BYE-BYE to the Second Amendment's right to bear arms -- a total gun ban could
be the law of the land!

Say BYE-BYE to the Constitution's requirement that to serve as President a man or


a woman must be a "natural born citizen"!

You KNOW that's what they'll do if given the chance -- and we're only TWO STATES
AWAY from seeing a Constitutional Convention convened!

You see, Article V says that it takes a request from two-thirds of the states to
force a "Con Con" -- but it doesn't say there's any time limit on getting to that
total!
Thirty-two states have already issued a call for a "Con Con" over the last few
decades, including Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware,
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi,
Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming.

It only takes 34 states to REQUIRE a Constitutional Convention be convened!

Some states, like Georgia, Virginia, and others, have since voted to "rescind"
their call for a "Con Con" -- BUT no one is sure whether those "rescission" votes
are actually Constitutional...so the danger is REAL!

WE NEED YOUR HELP, RIGHT NOW, TO STOP BARACK OBAMA


AND HIS ALLIES FROM CHANGING THE U.S. CONSTITUTION:

The United States Justice Foundation is launching a major campaign to STOP a "Con
Con" from taking place -- WE MUST CREATE a tremendous outpouring of publicity and
public scrutiny to be given to this danger, so that Barack Obama and his radical
liberal allies can't "sneak this past us" without anyone noticing, until it's too
late. Right now, our staff is conducting legal and historical research, and
preparing legal opinions, to submit to every state legislature, if necessary, and
we'll be offering to represent any state, or state legislator, in fighting the
Con-Con based on those documents.

We're also going to be leading a grassroots effort to attack this issue at both
the state and federal levels: At the state level, leading the charge in every
state to either NOT VOTE for a "Con Con" (if they haven't voted yet) or to RESCIND
their past vote in favor (if they have). And, at the federal level, we'll be
mobilizing citizens across the country to contact their Representatives and
Senators to DEMAND that they come out, NOW, and announce their support for a
state's right to rescind, and that they won't support a call for a "Con-Con." In
addition, we'll be calling on the Attorney General of the United States, and the
Attorney General of each and every State that has passed a "Con-Con" resolution,
to issue an official Opinion on the legality of rescission.

THIS DANGER IS REAL. The Constitutional Convention of 1787 was called for the
exclusive purpose of amending the Articles of Confederation. Once the Founding
Fathers assembled in Philadelphia, however, they threw out the Articles of
Confederation and wrote an entirely new Constitution, and even changed the
ratification procedure so they could get it adopted more easily. The 1787
Convention is the only precedent we have for a national Constitutional Convention.

There's no guarantee that all of the changes to our Constitution passed at a


Constitutional Convention would need to be ratified by 34 states this time -- if a
"Con Con" can change our structure of government as defined in Articles I, II, and
III, of the Constitution, then it can also change the Article V requirement that
three-fourths of the states are needed to ratify any changes. The Convention of
1787 reduced the number of states required to ratify a change from 100% of the
states to 75%, and a Convention today could "follow their example" and reduce it
further, to 66%, or 60%, or even 51%!

WE MUST NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!

There's very little time to ramp this project up to FULL SPEED -- we need to raise
at least $100,000 to prepare and distribute legal opinions, lobby state
legislators and begin our grassroots activism campaign this coming month. Please
help in STOPPING Obama, Pelosi and Reid from ripping our Constitution to shreds,
and re-writing it to their own socialist goals!

Sincerely,

Gary Kreep, Executive Director


United States Justice Foundation

P.S. President Barack Obama has already expressed his belief that the U.S.
Constitution needs to be interpreted in the context of current affairs and events.
Can you imagine what he and his supporters would DO to that document if given the
chance to re-write it completely? Our Bill of Rights could disappear overnight!

In fact, all the way back in 2006, Obama already had his lawyers researching how
someone could get around the eligibility requirements to serve as U.S. President
-- these people simply don't CARE about whether we preserve the supreme law of the
land!

Remember -- when the last Constitutional Convention met in 1787, the original goal
was to amend the Articles of Confederation. Instead, delegates simply threw them
out and wrote a whole new Constitution.

That's EXACTLY what Obama, Pelosi and Reid would do this time -- but this time,
the result would destroy our freedoms. Please help us STOP them. Thank you!
