We need to Restore the Constitution, ala Mark Levin:

Two goals separate our plan from all other Article V organizations:

1. We want to call a convention for a particular subject rather than a particular amendment. Instead of calling a convention for a balanced budget amendment (though we are entirely supportive of such an amendment), we want to call a convention for the purpose of limiting the power and jurisdiction of the federal government.

2. We believe the grassroots is the key to calling a successful convention. The goal is to build a political operation in a minimum of 40 states, getting 100 people to volunteer in at least 75% of the state legislative district (that’s 3,000 districts). We believe this is very doable. Only through the support of the American people will this project have a chance to succeed.

Article V. bump

Amen ‘bro.

A return to federalism is our only hope. Levin’s amendments would give us government more federal than that of the framers, which is a good thing.

Our state legislators will rise to the occasion. Imagine holding your state rep and senator responsible for treaties and federal judicial appointments.
