<>If we want state legislatures to pass resolutions authorizing an Article V Constitution Convention, we must give them some almighty powerful incentives.<>

Power sells itself, and their people are hurting. That is plenty of incentive.

I doubt most state legislators were aware of Article V until Mark Levin spoke to the ALEC conference last year. When I met my FL rep in 2013 he was ignorant of Article V and why the Framers’ constitution featured a senate of the states.

State legislatures are the only groups which can make this happen, so ALL of our focus must be on that until 10+ legislatures have passed the necessary resolutions. Only then should we start discussions on how to choose convention delegates, and what other amendments might be offered.

But until then, it must be only about making the sale.
