The Mount Vernon Assembly to Meet at Indiana Statehouse June 12 and 13
INDIANAPOLIS (June 9, 2014) – More than 100 state legislators representing 33 states will meet at the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis on June 12 and 13 to continue establishing the rules and procedures needed for a future state-led convention for proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution, as authorized by Article V of the Constitution. The meeting is a continuation of efforts that began in December 2013 at George Washington’s historic Mount Vernon estate in Virginia.
The Mount Vernon Assembly – Indianapolis will not be considering any specific constitutional amendments. Rather, it will focus on building the framework needed to hold a potential amendment convention in the future, should one be called by the states under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. MEETING ITINERARY: The meeting is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. ET on June 12 and June 13. A full itinerary for The Mount Vernon Assembly – Indianapolis is attached.
PUBLIC VIEWING AREAS: For members of the public wishing to be in the Statehouse during the event, there will be a public viewing area on the second floor, north atrium of the Statehouse with television monitors displaying a live Internet stream of the meeting.

Done right, the risk is minimal. Do nothing, and our fate is already sealed. There is no choice.
Right.
Why change something we don’t use.
Impeachment of the tyrant is first order; this stuff plays into the democrats hands.
Get up to speed:

Done right, the risk is minimal. Do nothing, and our fate is already sealed. The greatest risk is in doing nothing. The issues to be considered at a “convention of states” can be limited by each state using the same limiting language in their petition to Congress. Again, you are confusing people because you don’t understand the proposed process. Get the facts first, then engage.
Use the link—then read it.
We have enough Red States right now. But the window is closing. If the RATS set off the Amnesty Bomb, we will lose that advantage quickly.
Elections only get us so far—the system corrupts them faster than we can vote them out.

GREAT POST. Thank you so much.
Thanks
God’s speed to the delegates. praying hard for His influence there.
You’re welcome. Get ready. Sign up in your state and raise some hell.
Without a link that allows it, I haven't been able to "follow it" .
An actual "Constitutional Convention" is itself illegal and unconstitutional.
Thank you for correcting the misconception that an Article V Convention would be a Con-Con. Also, anything that an Article V Convention proposes must be ratified by three-fourths of the States in order for the proposal to become part of the Constitution; same as when the Congress has proposed an amendment.
