That doesn't answer the question of how the proposed amendments will be crafted.

I see that the (Republicrat Party selected) state legislatures will call for the convention and will vote on the final ratification but which human beings will be sent to the convention to sit in the room and propose the amendments and work on their language? Do you think you will receive an invitation?

So, my local Republican state rep. with dreams of some day playing with the big boys will determine his ratification vote completely on his own, right? He won't be influenced at all by the RNC or Boehner or Tiberi, right?

If this were to happen, the same people who are currently sneaking in amnesty, funding Obama care, refusing to even calculate the growing debt, allowing the Supreme Court to write law, funding Planned Parenthood, etc.... would be the ones that would draft the amendments and direct the state legislators how to vote on them.

They are currently in the position to do so because we the people put them there.

The Constitution is fine. The people are broken.
