I think it would be opening the door for the progressives and libertarians to cause much damage.

That is because you think it is a Constitutional Convention and when I read the Constitution Article V it says that "on the application of 2/3rd of the States shall call for a convention for proposing amendments... then have to be ratified by 3/4th of the States"

With most of the States republican I think most delegates would be republican (or conservative even better) but then the wording has to be the same back to every state and ratified by 3/4ths.

I truly think that the founding fathers KNEW that we would have elected officials ruining the USA like they are and they put this fix in JUST FOR THIS TIME.

I just wish they would have put the term limits and balanced budget in it at the beginning. But that doesn't mean that we can't at this point.

In all seriousness, best of success, if you can pull it off.

Still, i fear this does not address the problem of a Constitutionally-, historically-, and biblically-ignorant and non-participating electorate habitually placing corrupt people in office. We are in moral and spiritual decline.

Hoping for revival, but none is guaranteed.
