Who is this 'we' you speak of. Neither you nor I will be at that convention. That's the problem with such a convention, the means are in place (or would soon be) to pack the joint with Dem regulars and GOP-E regulars.
Like Carlin said, it's a big party and we aren't invited.
Our best bet is to stand on the constitution as it is. If we can't do that, we won't be able to stand on a revised constitution, even if is revised to our liking.
The “we” you speak of ARE THE STATES!
A convention simply PROPOSES amendments... They will be debated, ratified, defeated, etc....
Then and only then will they be sent to the states for ratification... You’ll have you chance for input in many ways but ultimately you’ll VOTE it up or down in your state...
Term Limits and fiscal responsibility amendments have BROAD support across party lines... Last poll I saw was 60+% in support...
