Republicans have a Plan to Change the Constitution and it Just May Work
Thom plus logo If their plan works, they'll rewrite our Constitution and state governors, the US Congress, and the President will have no say whatsoever in the process.

If you think the Supreme Court overturning abortion rights in this country was radical and shocking, you ain't seen nothing yet. There was a convention you should know about this past weekend in Denver, funded by some of the wealthiest men and foundations in America, that has received altogether too little publicity.

Imagine if most public schools in the country closed and were replaced by for-profit charter and private academies — often racially segregated and only serving families who could afford their tuition — because the Constitution required federal compulsory education laws and federal funding for education (at all levels) to end.

Imagine if the U.S. Constitution required the EPA, FDA, USDA, DOT, Department of Education, and Department of Labor to shut down. All union protections are dead, there are no more federal workplace safety standards, and even child-labor laws are struck down, along with the national minimum wage and the income tax, both individual and corporate.
