First you would have start by Neutering the Federal Government. Take away its control. If it can not be done then onward to a CC.

You realize, of course, that a Constitutional Convention requires the approval and cooperation of the Federal Government you're trying to neuter.

Which is why a Convention of the States makes so much sense -- the Federal Government is totally out of the loop.

I was afraid i wasn’t very clear. A CC would be the second option.
First, or i should say this is our last chance, to dismantle the OVERREACHING part Federal Government. IRS,DOE,UN Welfare...on and on.
Actually, the only way a CC would work is with a weaken, more compliant, Federal Government.

My guess is we will continued to spiral downward. Not even a Cruz can save us now. Although, i am willing to give it a shot.
If we do continue to spiral downward some, how many is the question, will resort to the last option.

How so?

The states are the authority, the Fed Gov is their client.

They can modify the commission of their client at will.
