I think this article does a great job of explaining why a states convention is such a terrible idea:

Well, except that the article isn't about a states convention. Go read it again. The whole article is about a Constitutional Convention, NOT a Convention of States.

From the article:

Mark Levin is a great guy, and his new book is a good read, but if we agree to a ConCon, we’ll end up being conned by a hydra-headed political monster.

A ConCon (Constitutional Convention) is VERY different from a Convention of States.

Buy Levin's book and read it.

At conventionofstates.com, under the toolkit tab is a link to FAQ, which addresses your concerns.

Recall that two nights ago, Obama so much as told the world he would, if necessary, rule by executive decree.

Yesterday, the House all but gave up the power of the purse. If Obama didn't get all of the spending he wanted, he promised to “shut down” the government and blame the pubbies.

Are we not where the Framers feared? Are we still a free people?

The progressives have done a masterful job of convincing the average American that democracy is swell. Venezuela has elections too, and like here, all elections do is serve to condone future crimes by El Presidente.

Apparently, neither you nor the author of the linked article understand how an Article V Convention of the States differs from a Constitutional Convention.

Please familiarize with the differences before chiming in with an irrelevant link.
