August 3, 2006: The requisite state applications for an Article V Convention are registered in the Congressional Record. Walker v. Members of Congress (05-35023 U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals) is now on appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Under the authority of Article V of the U.S.
Constitution, the convention clause is peremptory, Congress must
call a convention once the requisite applications are received.
The convention call is based on a simple numeric count of state
applications, arguments otherwise are invalid based on the
Constitution itself, and all founding documents related to the
matter.
Members of Congress are failing to carry out
their constitutional obligation and issue the call to the states
and are currently in violation of federal criminal law. Congress
cannot veto the calling of a national convention.
Please contact your representatives in Congress
and let them know you expect them to follow the law as written in
the U.S. Constitution, and that they go on record as being in
favor of a national convention or resign their office.
