[westsylvania]

Thank you for the listing.

This is the only way we are going to save our Republic.

Pressure your reps. in your respective states.

[dware]

So who has completely passed in both houses and signed?

Wisconsin is moving in that direction:

“So who has completely passed in both houses and signed?”

Georgia, Florida, and I think Alaska last year.

And they don’t need to be signed by anybody, they just need to pass the legislatures.

Bump that!

Posted for reference purposes:

“Article V:

Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.”

Passage of convention resolutions by 34 states are needed to create the situation where Congress “shall call” (no option) the convention. Currently have ten.

Thanks for the ping.
Let’s roll!

Ten states have filed? So that leavers what, twenty-eight to go? Got a ways to go yet.

Yes, where is TX?

[cotton1706]

Georgia’s two houses passed an application last year. It was the first state to do so.

[cotton1706]

34 are required. Three states are on record from last year, and ten have got the process started this year. That leaves 21. But it’s only January!

[Jacquerie]

Outstanding.

[Nuc 1.1]

You have that right. Finally we have something going for Article V in Az!

[Hostage]

Most FReepers are aware of these links, but I post anyway for review and for people new to Article V. It is our responsibility to make Article V the most understood aspect of the US Constitution.

Please review especially the links towards the bottom to contact your state senator and representative. Most states are in session now and forming up their agenda!
