Your thoughts?
What am I missing? Is the result thru this process futile even if the immediate goal is not?
And "we have to do something" in and of itself is not a logical reason.

This nation's government is elected by 360 million sinners. What could go wrong?

I agree. I am not in favor of A5/COS: opportunity for disaster.

I defer, and refer all, to Publius Huldah on this and on Mark Levin.

In the year 2018 who in the District is representing the State Legislators? We currently have to chambers in the Congress elected the same manner by the public the only difference being the length of term. The founders chose the Senate to be Representatives of the State Legislators and the House to be the Representatives of the People.

Whatever the Convention of States can do, it cannot and will not get anywhere near dismantling the 80%+, $3 trillion + unconstitutional portion of the feds which by definition is what has to happen for us to recover our Free Constitutional Republic.

Unfortunately, the states have turned up basically chicken sh#t because the weak-kneed governors are too worried about losing their beloved federal aid to think about overturning and defeating federal tyranny. NOT ONE STATE will stand up to the feds and risk their precious federal aid to which they have a craving and dependence like a drug addiction.

Fight the battle for the repeal of the 17th Amendment. Great. May be even necessary, dunno, but certainly not sufficient, not for the recovery we MUST achieve.

One thing is certain - whatever we attempt outside of God’s help, it simply isn’t going to happen.

This is insanity squared!

No provision for limitation exists.

There is nothing wrong with the constitution. All problems stem from ignoring the constitution.

term limits? return to the original election of senators by state legislatures? just for example

You tell two fantastic reason for it then ask us why?
