ginger Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I'm thinking I'm voting for...just starting to to read all about it. Question: Each district would have to elect 3 delegates and one "at large" delegate. Suppose I wanted to be considered. I read I'd need 1000 signatures for district but 3000 to be on the safe side. You need 3,000 to be the at large delegate. Do you have to have only signatures of people from your own political party for this? Also, I don't see anything that states you can't start collecting those signatures right now in anticipation of the November ballot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 In less than 90 days the Knights of Malta are getting a new constitution. The timing appeared suspect to me as it coincided with President Trumps ban. I guess we'll have to see how the big picture becomes evident.

M_Sable Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 FNORD!! The Illuminati are to blame, especially the Gnomes of Zurich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Sable Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 FNORD...from Wikipedia....not an uninpeachable source, but you get the gist of it: The word was coined as a nonsensical term with religious undertones in the Discordian religious text Principia Discordia (1965) by Kerry Thornley and Greg Hill, but was popularized by The Illuminatus! Trilogy (1975) of satirical conspiracy fiction novels by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson.[3] Illuminatus! was produced, in the United Kingdom, as a cycle of plays by anarchic theatre director Ken Campbell and his Jungian Science Fiction Theatre of Liverpool. The plays popularized the term. In the plays (and the novel trilogy), the interjection "fnord" is given hypnotic power over the unenlightened. Under the Illuminati program, children in grade school are taught to be unable to consciously see the word "fnord". For the rest of their lives, every appearance of the word subconsciously generates a feeling of uneasiness and confusion, and prevents rational consideration of the subject. This results in a perpetual low-grade state of fear in the populace. The government acts on the premise that a fearful populace keeps them in power. In the Shea/Wilson construct, fnords are scattered liberally in the text of newspapers and magazines, causing fear and anxiety in those following current events. However, there are no fnords in the advertisements, encouraging a consumerist society. It is implied in the books that fnord is not the actual word used for this task, but merely a substitute, since most readers would be unable to see the actual word. To "see the fnords" means to be unaffected by the supposed hypnotic power of the word or, more loosely, of other fighting words. The term may also be used to refer to the experience of becoming aware of a phenomenon's ubiquity after first observing it. The phrase "I have seen the fnords" was graffitied on a British railway bridge throughout the 1980s and 1990s, until the bridge was upgraded. The bridge is known locally as "Anarchy Bridge". It is located between Earlsdon and Coventry city centre. The bridge and the phrase were mentioned in the novel A Touch of Love by Jonathan Coe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Term limits for all legislators, both houses, 2 four year terms. No pensions. Take the lead from President Trump...5 year moratorium on lobbying post service? Normally I don't like the idea of term limits because I feel the voters are perfectly capable of choosing their own candidates, however, we all know NYC has just a little too much power in this state so...thoughts?

ginger Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I said power. Off the top of my head, the Safe Act. Speaking of, Remington just laid off 10% of it's workforce. Another example, the proposal of "Sanctuary State". I could give other examples but I'm pressed for time right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 We are going to need new constitutions predicated on the fact that no American has even the illusion of privacy in their own home.

ginger Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 So I see on the federal side a constitutional convention can be called for when there is an EXIGENCY. I would think President Trump's comments together with Mr Comey's statement qualifies as an EXIGENCY. Drain the swamp and exorcise the franchises.

ginger Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Sometime this week the House is supposed to be voting on whether ISPs should be allowed to sell our browsing histories. I'm already starting to research and least make a list of examples to formulate some type of legislation regarding the inclusion of specific right to privacy should constitutional conventions be called for. In addition to this forthcoming vote, in the past couple of weeks /months we've had the whole Trump drama and locally, the license plate reader. I believe I mentioned that some time ago. The prime example given was that the police could slowly drive through the parking lot at Walmart and tag every single plate. They can identify what church you are attending. Will that become the next conundrum? Can local police sell THEIR lists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThelmaHarper Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 All that a Constitutional Convention will do for NY is make things WORSE! How so? Because the delegates will be picked by those already in power. The cronies of Schumer, Cuomo, Libous, Silver etc will be picked and will only consolidate their grip on power. If the delegates were to consist of regular folks that'd be different. Maybe 1/3 local elected officials to rep their areas and the concerns they see at ground level, 1/3 small business owners who see first hand the problems of over regulation and 1/3 from rank and file teachers, cops, nurses with enough common sense and practical experience to set a few things right. Anything else will only hasten NY's trip down the sewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted May 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 ^ I was listening to a gentleman on Binghamton Now this morning speak about the constitutional convention and the first item he brought up for consideration was Medicaid. He stated via a convention we could vote to force the state to take it over and that would eliminate app. 49% from property taxes. He stated any changes made would be voted on by the public, that the role of the delegate was to bring the issues to the table, like term limits.

ginger Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Clinton Guistra, 1,100 anonymous donations. BTW, I don't suppose anyone recalls what the drama in Albany was a few months ago? Something about anonymous donations...people wanted to give to planned parenthood or some entity but didn't want their names associated the organization?
