Actually, 28 states have passed a Balanced Budget petition.
I actually think a single-issue convention might be the way to go. It can show the way, set the rules, etc. And then the states can get together and meet one issue at a time if need be. It will also shove aside all the “runaway convention” fears.
Either way, the people through the states need to take the lead.
Thanks, looks like my source was not current.
