For anyone interested in a very reasonable dissertation on the subject of an Article V convention here’s a great speech from very conservative Hillsdale College:

Thank you for sharing this with us.
I am against an Article V Convention for many of the reasons layed out in this very informative presentation.
America’s root cause for systemic corruption and disregard for rule of law is not a flaw in our Constitution, but rather a flaw in our collective values, morality and lack of civic responsibility.
JBS has been right all along.
The Communists have achieved their goals.
We are rotted within.
RE: “EDUCATIONAL material”
For those of us who can’t sit through a 58 minute video, could you summarize the points made?
Because they don’t say that 13 states can veto any “runaway convention” crap...
Hell, the house/senate on capital hill can propose all sorts of CRAZY constitutional amendments and THEY ALREADY HAVE, MANY TIMES, but they are never ratified and become dead letters....
The JBS argument is so ignorant on WHAT Article V really means.
Article V only means that States can only PROPOSE new amendments, JUST LIKE THE HOUSE AND SENATE CAN....
Any and all RATIFICATION occurs LIEK IT ALWAYS HAS...
Damned fools! They are trying to convince us the states have no power and only the senate and house can propose new amendments...
It is like shooting your own foot because your shoes don’t fit....
The house and senate proposed all these crazy things....

Why can’t the states, if they are bad they will become “Dead Letters” just like all these....
13 states can say HELL NO to ANYTHING proposed and it becomes a dead letter.... 13 states... That is about 1/2 the “Solid Red states”... If we lost them, it is already over...
This Anti-Article V crap is just paranoid fear mongering by the JBS.
Article V was put in as almost an afterthought but by unanimous vote when its necessity was realized by the constitution writers. It is the last resort of the states to assert their rights against a runaway federal government. We are in exactly the position they envisioned when article V was put in the Constitution. Now is the time to use this constitutional provision to save the republic.
Forget the Convention. Forget the Constitution. If Trump loses and Hillary wins, they all irrelevant.
