If you have a gut reaction that calling a constitutional convention under Article V is a dangerous idea, you may want to learn about those who are behind the idea. See: Exposing the Convention of the States (COS)as an Article V Constitutional Convention … and Who’s Behind It All, including Soros & Levin

At the close of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on September 18, 1787, a Mrs. Powel anxiously awaited the results and as Benjamin Franklin emerged from the long task now finished asked him directly, `Well, Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?' `A republic, if you can keep it,'
responded Franklin.

The link you posted is to a scurrilous, libelous, website that you should be ashamed to associate yourself with.

George Soros behind the move to an Article V convention of the States?

Get a grip.

Thanks for the info. Not to stir the pot but the impetus via an AVCC to give the people more laws in order to control the government may be commendable but this country is where it is today because the people have foolishly believed what those in government have sold/told them. I guess we can thank the obozo because it’s finally come down to the Fool Me Once scenario. Laws are only words if they are not enforced and selectively enforcing laws is the problem. Not applying the rule of law equally in and of itself in most instances is an illegal act which has become the norm in DC. Some may even call that tyranny. Not to preach but any American patriot knows what the fix to government tyranny is and it exists in the intent and free exercise of the 2nd amendment (ref Patrick Henry’s pro 2nd argument). God willing, this Republic will remain standing as He intended.
