It is a brilliant approach. And I have no doubt it will work. You can expect more and more RAT panic as this builds momentum. After the meeting at Mt. Vernon, where the RATS will understand that this is real, they will go absolutely ballistic. Effectively utilizing ARTICLE V. can undo the Progressives’ war on the Constitution that has raged for a hundred years. THEY WILL NOT TAKE THIS LYING DOWN. It will take enormous courage on the part of the state legislatures: the international LEFT, the globalist movement, and the Jihadists will all attack with everything they have. IT WILL BE VICIOUS.

I have two more reference works in addition to what the able Jacquerie has posted in this thread.

The first is from the American Legislative Exchange Council, a conservative pro-business group. This document has been sent to every state legislator in the country.

Proposing Constitutional Amendments by a Convention of the States: A Handbook for State Lawmakers

The second is a 1973 report from the American Bar Association attempting to identify gray areas in the amendatory process to include an Amendments Convention. It represents the view of the ruling class of 40 years ago. While I don't like some of their conclusions, they have laid out the precedents that may justify those conclusions. What I respect is the comprehensive job they did in locating all the gray areas. They went so far as to identify a gray area that didn't pop up until the Equal Rights Amendment crashed and burned a decade later. Even if you find yourself in disagreement with their vision, it's worth reading to see how the ruling class will try to dominate an Amendments Convention.

Report of the ABA Special Constitutional Convention Study Committee

I haven't found any recent news regarding the Mount Vernon assembly. If I don't hear anything by Friday from my state rep, whether or not FL will participate, I suppose I'll try contacting the Speaker's office.

I was expecting Mark Levin to speak on-air with the Indiana Senate leader David Long by tonight, but it doesn't appear that will happen, despite what Howie Carr had to say last Friday.

But yes, the left and rinos will go ballistic. They will use every subterfuge at their disposal to interrupt, delay or defeat an amendment convention.
