IOW, like the 2A, Article V grants nothing. Both are antecedent to the Constitution.
At this moment our once federal government, one supposedly limited by enumerated powers and charged with defending our natural rights is making war against the sovereign people. For all practical purposes it exercises plenary powers, many of which are identical to the usurpations we accused George III of in 1776.
To oppose the Article V state amendment process is to oppose our right to frame our government to suit our purposes and happiness.

The federal government is making war with us by its lawless behavior and various usurpations.

We are hoping things can be resolved peacefully by pursuit of the Article V convention process.
