#SouthCarolina, please call your state Reps & Senators to block these resolutions to call a Constitutional Convention. These are coming from all sides, left, right and in between! #KochBrothers org CoS, Tea Party & Citizens United orgs are getting desperate! #NoConConForAnything
The first two on this list are promoted by American-promise-dot-net. The third is another organization or possibly written by independent Republicans--13 of them. In all, SIXTEEN Republicans are endorsing legislation to ban Citizens United! Don't you think that's strange?!?
Here's evidence of American-promise-dot-net endorsing these first 2 bills H4174 and S0571! Tell your legislators to vote NO on these deceitful bills!
Republicans posing as Democrats! Wake up blue!!! #NoConCon
Here's two more bills for the "Balanced Federal Budget" which now has resolutions from 28 out of 34 states and #Iowa is fairly close! There are also two more for term limits—one is truncated from Convention of States (CoS) and one from Term Limits-dot-org. #NoConCon
This shows they are desperate and trying to throw everything but the kitchen sink up against the wall to see what sticks! Please help us block these resolutions and bogus calls for a Constitutional Convention! #SouthCarolina#NoConConForAnything#WeThePeopleAreAwake
If you don't know what a Constitutional Convention is, there is a tutorial here. If you don't have a lot of time, go to the end and there are two quicker tutorials. #NoConCon#NoConConForAnything

No byline but I love this synopsis from "Crossover Update: Bills Unlikely to Pass this Year," written by the South Carolina Policy Council: scpolicycouncil.org/featured/cross…
From the SCPC excerpt: "The problems with those bills (calls for SC & U.S. ConCon) are the same—namely that the most glaring problems in both state & federal gov't are not caused by their respective constitutions, & constitutional conventions would likely do more harm than good."
Got to give commendations to @scpolicycouncil! I'm writing these long threads and they summed it up pretty well in that one sentence! #NoConCon
Correction on the first two images. There was one resolution missing from the Convention of States (CoS) page which was placed on the Citizens United page by mistake. Reposting. #NoConCon#NoConConForAnything

🔥🔥Saturday, August 12, 2017 a similar, bigger rally called "Unite the Right" held at noon erupted in many brawls. Alex Fields, a reported Nazi sympathizer drove a Dodge Challenger blindly into the crowd and killed 32-year old Heather Heyer.
Trump: the violence? "Many sides."
🧚♀️MOB RULE?!?!
🧚♀️10/6/18 ▶️Women—upset with the inevitability with a Supreme Court nominee getting sworn in—a nominee who clearly lied, had multiple credible sexual allegations against him, had a surly demeanor and was blatantly partisan, protested peacefully.
💬"The history is exactly what I told you."—Mitch McConnell
🤥🐢An hour after Judge Antony Scalia died: "The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."
🤥🐢"We simply followed the tradition in America, which is if you have a party of a different—a different Senate of a different party than the president, you don't fill a vacancy created in the presidential year. That went all the way back to 1888."
🤥🐢Will McConnell fill a SCOTUS vacancy in Trump's last year? "The answer to your question is, we'll see if there's a vacancy in 2020."
💬No answer.
▶️Mitch, you didn't attack Merrick Garland because you couldn't.
▶️You never mentioned "opposing party" caveat in 2016
🌍Unilever just recently announced it was abandoning plans to move its headquarters from the U.K. to Holland after the Brexit vote (the U.K. leaving the European Union) as many other companies have done.
🔥🔥Yes, Brett Kavanaugh. The judge cited twice=Gorsuch. Is this a coincidence?
▶️One of the 4 reasons Concord's lawyers moved to dismiss was that they claimed Concord had no knowledge that the crime they were committing was actually a crime. Kavanaugh supported this theory.
9⃣Yes, Brett Kavanaugh's opinions are cited NINE times by a Russian company seeking to get Mueller's charges dropped.
Mueller charged Concord, 2 other Russian companies and 12 foreigners associated with Russia for illegally using social media platforms to SOW POLITICAL DISCORD.
▶️couldn't he answer so many simple "yes" or "no" questions?
▶️didn't he ask for further investigation by the FBI?
▶️did he try to destroy evidence?
▶️is Trump mocking his accuser at his "rally?"
⁉️If Kavanaugh was innocent, why:
▶️is Trump fabricating this war against young men?
▶️does he claim all his friends refuted Dr. Ford's claims when Dr. Ford TOLD NO ONE FOR DECADES?
▶️did he say "Devil's Triangle" was a drinking game?
⁉️If Kavanaugh was innocent, why:
▶️did he say "boofing" was flatulence?
▶️did he claim no prior knowledge of Deborah Ramirez' claims before the @NewYorker article?
▶️did he evade Patrick Leahy's question about being called "Bart?"
