Mar 26 Is a billionaire-funded coup to rewrite the Constitution on the verge of happening? by JACOB SUGARMAN, ALTERNET

The answer is yes. These people are at the very least working hard to make this happen. That is the Full Slate Project and Full Slate Consulting were launched. The only way to stop them is to start winning back state legislative bodies. They are only 24 seats away from being able to change our constitution forever.
