***I get mail from them at least weekly. They call their effort COS: convention of states***

Yes, I get the same emails. If they hold their convention on my block I will try to attend. 🤷 Years ago they had a big conference on the other side of Orlando and I attended a whole week. Right now they are claiming almost enough states to hold a Constitutional convention. Many conservatives are afraid of such a convention, afraid they will try to rewrite the Constitution. I think there are enough safeguards.

I remember a discussion on campus in the late 70’s.

A Constitutional convention of states had merit, until the professor mentioned that a convention on the Constitution opens up the entire Constitution, and any man’s opposition will have equal weight, equal opportunity to serve their own interests, too, on any constitutional issue of their preference, and to perpetuate the practice, until the cows come home, and until future conventions wholly defile the Constitution.

Actually, it sounded like gang rape. Gave me the forever trembles, so I do preach against the idea and the terrible high risk consequences.

I must have been marked by those remarks forever.😳
