The John Birch Society (JBS)
The JBS has been at the vanguard of political perspectives that many now accept as mainstream, and has consistently advocated anti-racist and anti-fascist positions
Opposed communism and collectivism
Believed the United States is a republic, not a democracy
States' rights should supersede those of the federal government
Seeks to reduce immigration
Supports auditing and eventually dismantling the Federal Reserve system
Argues the U.S. Constitution has been devalued in favor of political and economic globalization
Claims the US is at the edge of what is acceptable political discourse
Context
Article V of the U.S. Constitution gives states the power to call a Convention of States to propose amendments
It takes 34 states to call the convention and 38 to ratify any amendments that are proposed
The author spent a lot of time carefully crafting his analysis, and the positions held by the John Birch Society are not to be taken lightly
Article V Convention Threatens Liberty
The U.S. Constitution and our system of federalism prevents the national or federal government from seizing total control with little checks and balances
Upholding the Constitution and Bill of Rights, as written by the Founding Fathers, is paramount to preserve liberty and keep our Republic
There are some conservatives clamoring for a convention to amend the Constitution
Despite various convention applications over the centuries, there has not been a Constitutional Convention since the 1787 Federal Convention in Philadelphia that produced our current Constitution
