[Repeal The 17th]

Here we go again.
It is NOT a “constitutional convention”.
It is an Article V Convention Of The States to propose amendments to the Constitution.

[Antihero101607]

Call me a radical or a crazy man but I have an idea. How about we try out these amendments that we already have in place before we or alter or further amend the Constitution?

Socialists and Soros Fight for Article V Convention

[Uri’el-2012]

Here we go again.

It is NOT a “constitutional convention”.

It is an Article V Convention Of The States to propose amendments to the Constitution.

These lies about a con-con are coming
from the John Birth Society.

The first time around they were only suppose to modify the Articles of Confederation, but we got a new constitution.
You want what now?

Thank you for the correction. I had been operating under misinformation. I should have read more closely. The convention only proposes amendments. The amendments still have to go through the same ratification process as those proposed by Congress.

Now, here are some questions:

Is it possible to keep the Convention limited only to particular amendments?

Is it possible for the Left to co-opt the convention and propose amendments of their own?

“It is NOT a “constitutional convention”.

Thank you! At first I wondered how that many people could have so much trouble understanding the difference. I now believe the confusion is being perpetrated on purpose for the express purpose of scaring the people away from taking back the government that is supposed to be serving us.
