A foolish effort.

The current problem is having the federal government follow the constitution as it is written. We have to fix that before any change to words on paper will have any meaning.

If we can't stop the left in their continual degradation of the meaning of the current constitution, any new constitution will also fail.

This is a risky roll of the dice. The conservatives can't win on relatively small stuff, like eliminating the Dept of Education, but think they can control a constitutional convention? Not one chance in hell.

What this gives the left is one big chance to stuff the election box and win it all.

So your solution is to do nothing?

"This is a risky roll of the dice."

In what way? The convention has no power! It can only propose! What's so risky about that?
