Yes. The fact that the word ‘Bipartisan’ coupled with other words like ‘Democrats’ and ‘Independents’ makes me entirely comfortable with this untried process. Yep, I’m just pleased as punch.

Yes Article fivers have no idea what they are asking for. The only reason Dems are joining up is to try to subvert any rollback of the big govt police state.

For all of you skeptics of the Article V convention, I would ask you this. If you are so afraid of a run away state convention, are you also afraid of the run away congress we have now? The Article V Convention of the States simply is a way our founders gave us to reign in big government. This is the only way left to get power back to the states where it belongs and away from disconnected Washington elites and insiders. We the people do not have a say in government anymore. They run roughshod over all of us and thumb their noses at us afterward. I'm for anything that can put a stop to big bloated government. Before you make judgment, please read up on the process. It is not at all simple and will probably take years, but at this point, what do we have to loose?

Government with the consent of the governed is not an untried process.
