Thank you for your concern and added efforts.
Runaway Convention. What of the John Birch Society shibboleth of a “runaway” convention? Why do Article V opponents regard a convention to propose amendments as no more than a dangerous mob?
State appointed delegates to this important gathering will not be schlubs off the street. They will have state commissions which define their authority. Furthermore, and most important, the convention can do no more than propose amendments. Even if radical leftist proposals emerge, all it takes is thirteen states to reject them. OTOH, any amendments which can garner the approval of thirty-eight states deserves to be part of the constitution.
The lawgivers to our republic, the framers of the constitution hoped their work would endure, yet they knew a self-governing people must have peaceful means the framers did not have to adjust their government.
There is no historic support for the assertion that congress has authority to freeze the constitution as it now stands. Ironically, those who promote limits to the convention method in the guise of protecting the constitution are actually emasculating it. In any event, these phony “protectors” are not needed, for the constitution provides for its own protection. Every provision remains until amended by three fourths of the states.
It would be another gross violation of the constitution and our unalienable rights if congress, under the deception of “protecting” the constitution, imposes any barrier against a convention to propose amendments when two thirds have applied.
