I think most of the states are currently "red" states (maybe someone will post "the map?"). Now might be the least risky time to attempt something like this.
While I can appreciate that sentiment, I don't believe we have sufficient population of honorable leaders who I would trust to have the power to completely rewrite the Constitution. Even my own fair Commonwealth is sorely lacking in this regard.
Remember: Once a Constitutional Convention is called, there are no limits on what can be proposed, or on what can be altered.
Do you trust the Republican party of today to handle the Constitution in this manner?
I know I don't. And the problem exists from THE TOP DOWN!
