<>You may be perfectly content to put yourself in the hands of politicians at any level but I have my worries.<>

We are generally disappointed with state legislators because we ask little of them.

I am not content to put myself in the hands of one prez, nine blackrobes, and 535 congressmen from a distant, mentally detached, and oblivious, Rome like city-state.

From the article:

"Opponents of an Article V convention appear to be more worried about the potential for a runaway convention than they are about the runaway federal government that has already distorted or rendered meaningless several constitutional provisions: the Commerce Clause, the Fourteenth Amendment, the Establishment Clause, the Tenth Amendment, and so forth."

"We can encourage our state legislatures to call for an Article V convention run by the several states that may not succeed, or we can try what we know for certain does not work: voting in the same old establishment politicians to Congress and the presidency. To me, the choice seems easy."

Research links on the Article V process and the Liberty Amendments:

Convention of States - Alabama Way to go Alabama! A good introduction.

'Convention of states' to rein in government? Another great summary explanation.

The Case for an Article V. Convention. Fantastic explanation of Article V convention to the Mass State Legislature.

I would recommend watching the above three videos first and then:

Excellent Article V Letter to a State Assemblyman by Jacquerie

Let’s all work together to get this going.

The Federal Government is broken. We owe it to The Founders and ourselves to attempt a rational Article V amendment process. If it doesn't work, or is hijacked, then fine, it's on to what we're all expecting anyway, revolution. It's your call America.
