    "I Have a Dream" is not the only speech MLK Jr. gave. See also the "Beyond Vietnam" speech, which is extremely relevant to 2013.

    Is priority for unity best based in prime constitutional intent?

    This enterprise exists as a result of the success of Occupy Wall Street and the Occupy movement at identifying the root causes of the difficulties facing the 99 percent in our country and the potential remedies to restore our democratic institutions. Our mission, having developed from this awakening, is to:
    1.) Educate Americans on the reasons to bring about an Article V convention.
    2.) Apply their energy to pressure Congress to call for a Convention to propose amendments to the United States Constitution as described in Article V of the Constitution.
    This is not a left-wing or right-wing organization. We think of ourselves as radically moderate. Compromise cannot be a dirty word when we have so much to do. In a political environment defined by yelling louder than the opposition, we choose to employ a fresh course of reason and common sense lacking from what has become the typical debate.
    In addition to shedding light on the problems that are vital to the current political debate, we take an active role in educating Americans about the simple solutions that offer the most direct course to a sustainable American economy and environment, as well as the long-term future of our nation.
    We are proud of the talented coalition of artists, photographers, producers, writers, poets, film makers, musicians, and others from various trades who have joined us so far. We invite more. Our hope is to touch the heart of people and express ideas in a positive manner.
    To achieve these ends, we are getting creative, seeking new ways to fix old problems, taking on both grassroots-level projects and national campaigns.

    Constitutional intent is the foundation of constitutional government. We the people have the priority of knowing constitutional intent in order to properly point out any violation of it.

    I too do video. My editing here.

    Another, deeper aspect?

    For purposes of your question, what do you think is the prime intent? And why do you think that setting priorities for unity is interesting? Would it not suffice that each group or person who participates in the unity sees that the goal of the coalition contributes to their own priorities?

    Keep in mind any amendment proposal does not have to be accepted as-is. You may respectfully offer suggestions for changes. Participate in many groups that may address the same problem, you are not limited to supporting one amendment or another.

    PLEASE READ:
    Article V Constitutional convention action:
    Here is the full letter to the Clerk of US House. You can see we included the applications from the pages of the Congressional Record with the request for verification.
    http://articlev.org/upload/Article_V_Action.pdf

    We are seeking support from various groups and individuals to submit support directly to the Clerk of the US House. We are also adding names to a list we are keeping track of so we know which groups will be sanding in support of our request in a letter to the Clerk of House of Representatives, Karen Haas dated 04/15/13.
    “Subject: Requesting verification and tabulation of State applications for an Article V convention to propose amendments from Dan Marks and ArticleV.org.”

    Here is the petition, currently with 591 supporters:

    Bill Walker's explanation:
    http://www.nolanchart.com/...l-count-on-apps.html

    FOAVC Co-Founder William Walker May 1st, 2013
    "What everyone apparently doesn’t realize is one historic fact. No one has ever actually officially requested a count of applying states from the clerk of the House. In fact, despite all the hoopla about the convention, the applications and so forth almost no one has ever bothered to actually find out through official channels what is the truth.

    This letter is historic and assuming the government will simply ignore it when no such request has ever been made is simply wrong. Just because Americans happen to work for the government doesn’t mean automatically they are disloyal to the Constitution. Let the action prove the fact."

    Here is a sample letter you can send in/ or call the Clerk

    HONORABLE KAREN L. HAAS
    Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives
    U.S. Capitol, Room H154
    Washington, DC 20515–6601
    (202) 225–7000

    Regarding: ArticleV.org request for tabulation of State applications for an Article V convention

    Greetings Clerk Haas,

    I am writing to you today in support of a request made by Dan Marks of ArticleV.org in a letter dated 4-15-2013 with the subject “Requesting verification and tabulation of State applications for an Article V convention to propose amendments”.

    An official tabulation has never been issued from Congress and we are also curious. Much of the debate surrounding State applications will be settled by verifying and counting these applications for public knowledge. I support this as a reasonable request for information.

    ....

    Tom Wickham, the House Parliamentarian told me they are going to have to respond. He is watching over this now too. On 5-21-13 I will submit support as they just start to process the request and speak to them if I can.
