Revitalizing Representation: Ratify the Original “Article the First” to Restore True Citizen Government
The United States Constitution’s first 12 proposed amendments—submitted by the First Congress in 1789—hold a little-known secret that could fundamentally restore power to the people. Ten became the Bill of Rights. One, originally second in line, lay dormant for 202 years before its ratification in 1992 as the 27th Amendment, which bars congressional pay raises from taking effect until after the next election. This historic precedent proves that proposed amendments without expiration dates remain viable indefinitely.
The original first proposal, now known as “Article the First” (Congressional Apportionment Amendment), is still pending—and 11 states have already ratified it. Because the Founding Fathers included no ratification deadline, this amendment is fully eligible for completion today. Ratifying it would cap each congressional district at 50,000 citizens once population exceeds certain thresholds, expanding the House to approximately 6,400 representatives based on current Census figures.
Why This Matters Now
1. Dilute Centralized Power
• A House of 6,400+ members would fracture the grip of special interests. K Street lobbyists currently target a mere 435 votes; influencing even 10–15% of 6,400 lawmakers becomes logistically and financially impossible.
• The UniParty duopoly (establishment Democrats + Republicans) would lose its stranglehold. Smaller districts empower grassroots candidates—ordinary citizens—who can campaign door-to-door without corporate millions.
2. True Representation
• Today, each Representative speaks for ~761,000 constituents—a number so large that individual voices vanish. At 50,000 per district, your Representative becomes your neighbor, directly accountable to a community they live in and understand.
• Lawmakers would feel the pulse of their districts daily, not the whims of party whips or donor lists.
3. No Congressional Approval Needed
• The amendment was already proposed by the First Congress and requires only 27 more state ratifications (38 total) to become law. This bypasses the gridlocked, self-interested Congress entirely.
The Path Forward
1. Educate & Mobilize: Share the 27th Amendment’s 202-year journey as proof that “dead” proposals can live again.
2. State-Level Action: Contact state legislators. Eleven states (including early adopters like New Jersey and Maryland) have already said yes. The next 27 are within reach.
3. Break the Emergency Glass: The Founders left us this tool for exactly this moment—when federal overreach and citizen alienation threaten the Republic.

Imagine a Congress too large to bribe, too local to ignore, and too diverse to control.
Ratifying “Article the First” isn’t radical—it’s returning to the original design.

The political class won’t see it coming. Let’s give them the surprise the Founders intended.

KEEP PRAYING FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP

lilbirdee12’s prayer:

Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.

Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.

Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace. 

Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall. Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.

We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.

Prayers for Tina Peterson who is in jail in corrupt Colorado for political reasons. She needs to be released.

Thank you Father, for Your love and the gift of Life.

A prayer for members of the CTH that they remain strong and clear thinking and that the site remain a bastion of freedom and continue to spread the facts of our current dilemma to millions in this country and across the globe. That the light of freedom inspired by our Creator and enshrined in our founding never be extinguished by acts of man.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen. 

PRAYERS UP FOR PATIENCE AND MOM – 🙏 🙏 🙏

The impeachment articles against Judge Boasberg were filed in MARCH and again on Nov. 1st — and Congress has done NOTHING!

Meanwhile these same judges keep issuing lawless rulings on spending, immigration, and national security… cases they don’t even have jurisdiction over.

Worse: the D.C. Circuit is stacked with foreign-born, dual-citizenship judges with ZERO judicial experience, elevated purely for ideological reasons.

The judiciary is completely out of control — and impeachment is LONG overdue. It’s time to hold these rogue judges accountable.

✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.
