I’m dubious about this... what’s the assurance that the provisions of the current Constitution will remain? Liberals would love nothing more than to wipe away the 1st and 2nd Amendments.

It’s just a means for the states to submit amendments to the states. Amendments that would never get through the Congress. 17 state legislatures could stop any amendment.
What is to stop the Dems and RINOS in congress from getting together and proposing amendments that squash conservatives?????
Congress can already propose amendments.... Have been doing so for 200+ years
An Article V CoS is only to Propose new amendments, something Congress can already do, but in effect BYPASSING congress with the interest of the states as a whole in mind....
Any amendment recommendations coming out of a CoS still require ratification by the States.
The biggest misconception about this process is the assumption that the Amendments resulting from the Convention would be immediately functional.

AGREED!
NOTHING IS TOO EVIL TO PUT IT PAST THE INTENTIONS OF THE SOCIALISTS.
Conservatives have been demeaned and discounted and HAVE simply sat and took/TAKEN it ... over and over. Conservatives seem to be afraid of saying any derogatory actions of the liberals. God help America.
Since we have turned more and more liberal as a nation, (abortions, same sex marriages, over spending outrageously, nearing fiscal irresponsibility), and still we sit and take it.
NOT SMART. We may see the destruction of our nation and most all that made it prosperous, and Christian, serving God and obeying the commandments of God Almighty, and the LORD Jesus Christ. God is not mocked.
Political correctness is destroying brick by brick the foundation of America. WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT IT? TIME TO TURN TO THE LORD IN REPENTANCE AND TURNING AWAY FROM THE EVIL BEING IN CONTROL OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
PRAY FOR AMERICA TO DO THE RIGHT THING!
I was also opposed to any sort of convention until I heard Levin's case. Now I can see it's the only way to go for long-term change back to our founding principles.
Well, then, it just gets things underway a bit earlier, doesn’t it.
THAT has been the big bugaboo with me re this Art. 5 stuff.
And beyond that, even if they successfully passed something, and preserved what we already have; who is going to ENFORCE it, Eric Holder?
