[ Too many people want to open up a Pandora’s Box With a Constitutional Comvention. Some of these people who want to do so are being duped by Liberals, Leftists, Marxists and Democrats - who would love to get the chance of rewriting the US Constitution. These liberals and Marxists would love to get a hold of those Bill of Rights and “set it straight” for our modern world, because the Founding Fathers are outdated in our present world. ]

An Article V State Convention is NOT a re-write of the damned constitution!!!!

I don’t know how many damn times I have to post this!!

It is only to PROPOSE amendments to the constitution that MUST be ratified by 38 state legislatures. Which means to effectively BLOCK a NEW amendment you only need 13 states to say NO!!! Look at an Election map next time.... 13 SOLID RED states are easy to find!

Plus the new amendments would be simple things like TERM LIMITS on Senators and Reps to limit their time in DC and the eventually onset of Potomac Fever they all seem to come down with.

RIGHT NOW!!! Congress could decide to Propose new Amendments, all those congress critters in the SWAMP known as DC could do exactly what the Convention of the States can do PROPOSE AMENDMENTS!!! Who do you trust more? A great deal of the State Legislatures or you Congress Critters in DC????

SO do you trust the Congress critters who have ran wild to PROPOSE NEW AMENDMENTS, or do you trust most of the State Legislatures to do it?

If you cannot trust the state legislatures to draft up some common sense amendments to NEUTER WASHINGTON DC? Isn’t the nation already GONE?

Oh do you honestly believe that the congress critters in DC will propose amendments to Neuter THEMSELVES? If so you may be delusional...
