Is that why the Article V movement is growing at breakneck speed since Mark Levin’s speech before ALEC last December 2014?

Well, it is not. The movement is stalled.

But the reason it grows is because people want easy answers to complex problems that don't require any actual effort. Who wouldn't want a simple, easy, cheap, quick answer to difficult problems?

====================================================
Congress has merely an administrative secretarial role and nothing more.

Says who? Where is that written? Can you show us where in the US Constitution it says that?

If Congress tries to impede or stop the States from amending the US Constitution as above, they will fail and turn the people against them even more.

So let's consider an example:

The State legislatures all submit applications for an Article V Convention strictly limited to the purpose of considering your Amendment 28, and specifying that the delegates shall be 2 delegates sent from each state with each State having 1 vote, and the procedures run according to Roberts rules of Order.

Congress, then, issues a call for a convention under Article V --
1) with no limitation on the subject matter or topics
2) appointing as the delegates 1,000 law professors from the nation's top law schools -- and no one else.
3) issuing a byzantine set of rules for the convention that are unfamiliar.

You say they can't do that it's illegal.

Oh, yeah? What do you do now?

WHAT can you do to stop them? What can you do to prevent this?

Answer: Nothing

Whatever is reality, you are going to twist it your way; that is a fact.

Here is the factial scorecard attained since late last year:

Just this year, we filed the Convention of States application in 34 state legislatures. Of those 34 states, 19 have passed initial committee votes already, after filing.

Additionally, 3 state Senate chambers and 8 House chambers have moved from Committee to passing the application via their respective floor votes thus far.

All of this progress builds on the valiant efforts of activists in Georgia, Alaska, Florida, and just recently Alabama who have all passed the COS application in both houses.
