The states will not send schlubs off the street, nor even representatives to the convention.

States will send delegates. These agents of the states will have commissions that delineate exactly what they are authorized to do.

For example, Here is the summary of Florida's bill:

<>Article V Constitutional Convention: Establishes qualifications of delegates & alternate delegates to Article V constitutional convention; provides for appointment of delegates by Legislature; authorizes Legislature to recall delegate & fill vacancy; authorizes presiding officers to call special legislative session to carry out certain provisions relating to appointments; requires delegates to sign oath; provides for instructions to delegates; establishes circumstances under which convention vote is declared void; provides circumstances under which delegate's appointment is forfeited; establishes circumstances under which application to call Article V convention ceases to be continuing application & is deemed to have no effect; provides penalties; establishes delegate advisory group.<>

The process will be under tight state control.

Your dreaming, and as much as I would like to share that dream, its not what happened last time.

I ain’t saying we shoulder do everything in our power to set specific goals of Reducing federal power and bring back accountability to Constitutional Text.

While absolutely refusing any other expansion. I’m just saying they could propose anything and we must be very carefully whom we send, because those amendments will be out there forever waiting for the right liberal campaign state by state to pass them.

Let us make sure they got more than a few good amendments in the mix for us to do likewise.
Like:
1: Restoring a meaningful senate.
2: Creating a court actually inclined to uphold the Constitutions limits upon Washington.

Still all sorts of horrors might come out of there from still greater impositions on how we live our lives to an open imposition of Communism.

WE MUST HAVE AN EXIT Plan where we can abandon any hell they might create.
