From an earlier thread.

I overheard an interesting conversation a few weeks ago. I reside in a small farming village a few miles from the Canadian border. It's a conservative little town with a lot of Dutch ancestry. There is a Dutch restaurant a few blocks away that offers large country breakfasts, and I go there often.

I overheard what sounded like two Republican committeewomen discussing the Convention of the States movement. Then I heard the name "Phyllis" mentioned a few times, and I realized that one committeewoman was educating the other against a Convention of the States. "Phyllis thinks it's too dangerous."

My social skills are good enough that I stayed out of it. On one hand, it's good that the idea is gaining traction. Unfortunately, the opposition is turning a lot of people against the idea out of fear.

We have our work cut out for us.
