The Bill of Federalism: 10 Amendments to be Proposed to the States for Ratification

Professor Randy Barnett of Georgetown University sets forth a bold new proposal:

The Bill of Federalism: 10 Amendments to be Proposed to the States for Ratification.

You can read this draft document in full when it is posted within the next 24 hours at the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition website.

The Nationwide Tea Party Coalition is providing support and assistance to Professor Barnett as he reads and reviews public comments on The Bill of Federalism.

We anticipate a final version of The Bill of Federalism will be completed within 60 days.

We encourage all citizens who are interested in the future of our republic, and who which to stop our slide into socialism, to comment on this document, and to enlist their friends and neighbors in this effort.

Upon completion of the final version of The Bill of Federalism, we will encourage selected state legislators to introduce a bill to petition Congress to Convene a Constitutional Convention for the purpose of passing The Bill of Federalism, thereafter sending it to the states for ratification.

If 2/3 of the states petition Congress to hold a Constitutional Convention, Congress must convene one. Alternatively, Congress may pass The Bill of Federalism on its own, and submit it to the states for ratification.

Upon ratification of The Bill of Federalism by 3/4 of the states, after passage by either the Congress or a Constitutional Convention, it will become part of the United States Constitution.

Professor Barnett will discuss his draft of The Bill of Federalism with all 26 members of the National Leadership Team of the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition LIVE on Pajamas TV at 6pm EDT, 3pm PDT, this Monday, April 27.

From the looks of the HTML code on the draft, this looks more like a "anti-federalist" amendments.. Which is good news in my view.
