"The purpose will be to propose new Amendments and not to rewrite the entire Constitution."

Er, that's precisely what they said about the meeting called to propose changes in the Articles of Confederation. I personally think the Constitution is an improvement, but once the can of worms is opened, EVERYTHING is on the block.

All a Convention can do is PROPOSE changes - they do NOT have a plenopotentiary power to draft and adopt a new Constitution.

I really wish you fear mongers would cut it out with the propaganda because this is the one chance we will have in my lifetime to restore this country to a constitutional republic!

Right now we have a socialist dictator in the Oval Office whose claimed powers are unchecked by Congress or the Supreme Court and this is the Constitutuionally-designed method for WE THE PEOPLE to resolve this problem!

In case you haven't noticed, everything is already on the block.
