Many of us are very concerned with the direction our country is heading and some believe the answer is for a constitutional convention (also known as a convention of states) to occur as identified under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. Representative Young will explain why she believes a constitutional convention is not a good idea.
The U.S. Constitution offers two ways to add amendments to our nation’s governing document in Article V. The process that has always used for all 27 amendments added to the Constitution since 1789 is for an amendment to pass with a two-thirds vote in each chamber of Congress and then be ratified by three-fourths of the states. The other, untested way laid out in Article V is for two-thirds of state legislatures to call for a constitutional convention (aka: an ‘Article V convention’ or ‘convention of states’), to add amendments to the Constitution once they are ratified by three-fourths of the states. Throughout the 230-year history of the U.S. Constitution, an Article V convention has never been called by Congress.

The September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center high-rise towers changed the world, and there has been much speculation and controversy on what really happened. Roland “Ed” Angle from Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth will present two presentations explaining the collapse of the three high-rise towers.
The first presentation, February 22nd, will focus on World Trade Center Building 7, a 47-story steel framed high rise that collapsed in seven seconds, straight down into its own footprint, on the afternoon of September 11, 2001. It was not struck by an airplane.
The second presentation, March 1st, will focus on World Trade Center Buildings 1 & 2, the Twin Towers that collapsed on the morning of September 11, 2001, after being struck by airplanes.
Ed is a retired Professional Civil Engineer with more than 50 years of engineering experience. He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and currently sits on the board of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, a non-profit corporation that has been investigating the collapse of the three World Trade Center towers on 9/11 since 2006. The information he will be presenting has been compiled by hundreds of engineers and scientists during the last 16 years.
Gabriel Rench, at the time a deacon at a local evangelical congregation, was among three people arrested on Sept. 23, 2020 in the parking lot of Moscow City Hall (Idaho) while exercising his 1st Amendment Rights by singing Psalms and protesting the Moscow Mayor’s unconstitutional mask mandates. His arrest gained national attention and he was interviewed on several national shows, such as Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck and Steve Deace, and many more appearances. His arrest was even retweeted by President Trump.
On Feb. 1, 2023, Gabriel secured a legal win in a lawsuit against the city of Moscow. “Plaintiffs should never have been arrested in the first place, and the constitutionality of what the City thought [its] code said is irrelevant,” U.S. District Court Judge Morrison C. England, Jr., wrote in his Feb. 1 memorandum and order denying the motion to dismiss. “The prosecutor’s charging decisions were likewise flawed”
Gabe believes that “family big, government small, and church faithful” is how you create thriving nations. He is a determined Conservative, and strives to warn others about the breakdown of the church, lack of citizen engagement, irresponsible fathers, CRT, gun control laws, communism, socialism, and other dangerous political beliefs that are destroying our country. Gabriel is the Co-Host of the popular Christian, political show, CrossPolitic TV Show and Podcast. He is the Founder of Pengo Media, and is also the Co-Founder and CEO of the Fight Laugh Feast Network.
