"Which 34 states have called for a Convention? When did the 34th one join the call?"

The Constitution does not explicitly require that applications be identical. So if all applications that have been filed since 1787 are counted, there are well over 34.

“So if all applications that have been filed since 1787 are counted, there are well over 34”

...and if not rescinded, one can understand, why the JBS, Eagle Forum, Concerned Women for America, and others have a real problem with Article V to begin with. The Congress isn’t in the business of following the Constitution, adhering to it, acknowledging it as the Supreme Law of the Land, or in any way bowing to it’s superiority, much less the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights.

Especially since they have found their own superiority and are basking in it. An Article V that accomplished putting the Federal Government back in the box, would not suit any of the three branches of the tyrannical leviathan now in DC.

The Constitution doesn't have to say that the petitions must be identical. The Constitution is a structure laid upon a bedrock of English Common Law, a part of which is contract law. Read here for a fuller explanation.
