If Ohio votes to call a Con Con, for whatever purpose, the United States will be only one state away from total destruction.

What, what, what?

Ohio and 22 other states are wanting to call for a Constitutional Convention to vote on a balanced budget amendment, something allowed for in the Constitution, and this site is saying it is going to destroy the US?

A Constitutional Amendment is a targeted devise. One thing only. Anything and everything is fair game in a constitutional convention. Any modifications ... even repealing the constitution.

A constitutional convention in todays political climate would not be a good thing for the US Constitution. Or people like me ... and you.

When a constitutional convention is convened, there is no restriction as to what can come up for vote. It is not limited to a ‘balance budget amendment’. Anything this, soon to be, socialist govt may want to redo may come before it.

WE ARE DOOMED!!!!
