Liberals are going to hijack the Constitutional Convention.
I have spent many hours studying both sides of this issue, inclding the proposed ammendments, who originally started this movement 40 years ago, and who has funded the movement. the Ford Foundation, the Open Society Foundation, along with other leftist ofginazations. The Naetlson, Levin, Barnett, Meckler, Farris crowd have picked up what the left has been attempting since the 70's including the same "balanced Budget Ammendment, approach. The proposed Balanced Budget Ammendment, going through state legislatures, does not contain the words balanced or budget, what it does do is give congress the authority to raise the debt limit by 5%, whenever they choose, and raise taxes aa needed whenever they so choose. How is that doing anything to control congress. The other proposed ammendments I studied did nothing to restrict congress, in fact some gave them authority that they don't now have.
I have given several presentations against the "Convention of States" proposal, I spent at least 40 hours doing research before giving those presentaions. I found nothing good that could come out of a convention, what I did find was a lot of half truths, misinformation, and name calling coming from the Naetlson, Levin, Barnett, Meckler, Farris crowd.
