If what you are describing is a Constitutional convention which could add or remove things from the U.S. Constitution.it is the worst idea in history.....I see the voters of today and see backers of Hillary, backers of the communist Sanders and don’t want them anywhere NEAR the Constitution other than to read it.

I would be careful what you wish for.
The Left, if you call for a convention, will want to load up as many Socialist items as possible.
I think this is a huge mistake that would backfire badly.

nooooo this is way too dangerous
liberals could easily hijack such a Convention of States
yes, proposed amendments would still have to get through the state ratification processes, but why risk giving liberals a fast track??

Most of my friends favor a convention of states. I do not.
I do not see the moral or intellectual caliber anywhere today which would result in improvement.
I would be happy to be wrong.

This is good news. For those of you that have reservations, please go to http://www.conventionofstates.com and go to the page that outlines responses to objections to a Convention of States. Lots of good info there.

Now the people of Louisiana have joined with Florida, Georgia, Alaska, Alabama, Tennessee, Indiana, and Oklahoma in this historic fight to restore the rightful authority of the people and the states.What do they mean by "restore the rightful authority of the people and the states" ?

If your neighbor steals your child's bike and then you see it sitting in your neighbor's driveway, don't you have the right and the power to take it back or do you need to pass a whole new law to get it back?

I’m for it.
There is no other solution to limit the federal government.

I have a theory why the GOP is allied with HUD on this
War on the Suburbs. They are afraid of
Article V. We already know our vote matters little when it comes to the mastermind overlords infesting the District of Corruption . Why wouldn't they be afraid of the one thing that can bring their lying-looting comfy scam to a screeching halt? They are trying to hand back control of the state houses to the RATS to make sure the gravy train is not stopped.
