All these gains on the state level will only be really meaningful if restore the Constitution’s original allocation of power to the States. Until then our out-of-control federal government will still swamp the benefits of conservative state government. Unfortunately that constitutional framework has been so misconstrued and abused by over 70 years of progressive control of the Supreme Court and other branches of the federal government that legislative action to devolve power from the federal government is not enough. We need to promote amendments to the Constitution to restore its original meaning and structure.

The first step is to amend the amendment process itself to eliminate the unnecessary convention now required by Article V and permit States to directly initiate amendment proposals. This will break the current de facto federal congressional and judicial monopoly on interpreting the Constitution, and permit grassroots patriots on the state level to restore the Constitution by amendment. Only this will permanently constrain future federal overreach of the sort rejected by the people in November. See http://www.timelyrenewed.com
