Enforce the one we have. (how to go about it, I dunno. A long slog)

Although I think you should get points for rare candor on the subject, I nevertheless place you in category 4:

No opinion on whether it will work or will not work, but the Constitution we have is just fine so don't try the solution offered by the Constitution itself in Article V should be ignored in favor of redoubling our efforts and doing more of the same every election cycle because this time we will get different results.

The federal government is broken. Our only Constitutional redress is Article V and a Convention of States. Is it risky? Possibly, but to do nothing is derelict. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke.

Research links on the Article V process and the Liberty Amendments:

Convention of States - Alabama Way to go Alabama! A good introduction.

'Convention of states' to rein in government? Another great summary explanation.

The Case for an Article V. Convention. Fantastic explanation of Article V convention to the Mass State Legislature.

I would recommend watching the above three videos first and then:

Convention of States Lots of information here.

Article V Project to Restore Liberty Another good source.

Let’s all work together to get this going.

We owe it to The Founders and ourselves to attempt a rational Article V amendment process. Congress is not going to propose liberty amendments. If the Article V Convention of States doesn't work, or is hijacked, then fine, it's on to what we're all expecting anyway, revolution. It's your call America.
