Republicans control the majority of the state houses. At present, Republicans control 67 of the 99, and control both chambers in 32 states.So who, if not Republicans, are holding up your article V convention?
It often IS Republicans holding up the process! Andy Biggs of Arizona was the Senate leader here. He held it up. Then he moved on into Congress and soon afterwords Arizona joined the call! It's usually the same stubborn FUD types like we see here at Freerepublic in the state houses that is holding this back. FEAR is our enemies greatest weapon and he is wielding it very effectively.
