Constitutional Convention

Preserving American Freedom > Limiting the Expanse of Government Power > Constitutional Convention
We oppose any constitutional convention to rewrite the United States Constitution. We demand the Legislature rescind its 1977 call for such a convention. We call upon other states to rescind their votes for such a convention.
(plank deleted)

This plank grossly misinterprets the 65th Legislature's HCR 31 (regular session) and HCR 13 (2nd called session). They call for a constitutional convention "for the specific and exclusive purpose of proposing an amendment" to the Constitution of the United States to force balanced federal spending, a conservative dream!

Restoring American Sovereignty and Leadership > Domestic > Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) and the North American Union
We strongly oppose and call on Federal and State officials to place high priority on the withdrawal of the United States from the Security and Prosperity Partnership and the formation of the North American Union.
Reason:

This is a highly paranoid, nutty take on a project that has been canceled anyway.

This was an economic deal. There was no evidence whatsoever of any intent to merge countries.

accomplished, paranoid
