[Here is a sample letter modified from a letter that a Solari Report subscriber sent to their state representative]
Dear [State Senator or Representative]
Thank you for your response to my comments at the listening session. I also appreciate that you took the time to either read or listen to the interview with Dr. Vieira and Catherine Austin Fitts. Your explanation of an Article V Convention is very clear and I can understand the reasons you believe there is no danger in this type of convention. As you stated in the letter, under the legislation you are advancing, you believe it would be illegal for delegates to act outside the call for a balanced budget amendment.
Unfortunately, I do not share your confidence in the “rule of law” being followed to maintain the very narrow call you describe for an Article V Convention. Dr. Vieira is one of the top constitution scholars in the country. He is absolutely clear that any call for a Constitutional Convention can be converted to an open forum to shred the Constitution.
There are many books, papers and/or interviews which support this lack of confidence in the “rule of law”. I have listed just a few books if you are interested in pursuing the topic of the law being set aside.
- Dillion Read and Aristocracy of Stock Profits – by Catherine Austin Fitts (An online book at www.dillonreadandco.com
- J.P. Madoff by Helen Davis Chaitman and Lance Gotthoffer – Helen Chaitman is a lead attorney for Madoff victims.
- Clinton Cash – by Peter Schweizer (self explanatory).
- The Devils Chessboard – by David Talbot (A more historical picture with a wider scope).
As I presented in the listening session, even if the narrow call for an Article V Convention can be maintained, balancing a 20 trillion dollar debt without accounting for the missing assets is a disservice to the taxpayers and may even be a Material Omission. As a recap of my statement:
- There is $21 trillion in missing money; these are undocumentable adjustments in federal accounts for which there was not an appropriation. (See Missing Money).
- Assets and technology financing and developed within the “black budget’, paid for by taxpayers…but, in private hands and companies.
- Assets acquired in foreign wars, paid for by the taxpayers, with their money and their children, but also in private hands and companies.
Writing a new balanced budget amendment into the US Constitution appears to only address the debt and a balanced budget going forward. It does not necessarily address the complex issues involved in the missing assets, such as, where they are, can they be recovered and can they be applied to reduce the 20 trillion dollar debt. My question remains…how can a budget be balanced if we are only talking about the debt but not the missing assets?
The Constitution needs to be enforced rather than changed. Indeed, if we are not going to enforce it, why does it need to be changed? The appropriations clause of Article I of the Constitution clearly states that only monies appropriated by congress can be spent and that monies spent must be made transparent in public accounts. Let’s enforce that provision, rather than give powerful forces the opportunity to shred all of our rights through a single mechanism.
Thank you for your service to our state in the legislature. I believe that our state and local representatives, our local entrepreneurs, including small farmers, and vibrant local towns, villages and counties are the way forward to a prosperous future for our children and grandchildren.
Very Truly Yours,
