Wisconsin has become the 16th state to call for a convention of the states to consider making a variety of changes to the U.S. Constitution, a move that drew bipartisan opposition in the state Senate but not enough to block its approval.

The resolution had passed 15 states, mostly in the South, before Wisconsin became the first since Mississippi in 2019 to approve it. Congress must receive requests from 34 states to convene a convention of the states.

We came damn close to losing it all. Two flaky RAT Senators were the only thing keeping this Cold Civil war from going hot. We can still vote out the enemy in some states. I desire not giving the enemy another chance. Term limits and a balanced budget are simply 2 of the many possibilities that will stymie them.

Just keep doing what you’ve been doing and expect a different outcome.

Take back the media and the education system if you wish a different outcome. Pray it isn’t too late and once more good luck

Yes...I can see the Left hijacking it and completely rewriting the Constitution in its entirety.

If there was to be this massive GOP takeover in November of a supermajority of state legislatures, perhaps talk about it more seriously then.

The Left’s ability to play the govt and electoral game with Soros’ money. The Left at ALl Levels is organized, we OTOH are not.

"I know Mark Levin supports this, but I don’t see any way that George Soros doesn’t hijack it."

Yeah, a man with 8.6 billion dollars, and morals being what they are nowadays, sure could mess up a lot of stuff.. As we have seen of late. :(

Very, very bad timing considering the widespread infiltration of worse-than-Communists throughout every corner of the country.

I found out from Mark Levin’s show tonight that all an Article 5 Convention of States can do is propose Constitutional Amendments that would then have to be ratified by at least 38 states.

That would take years, and we would have plenty of time to make sure that bad ones were not ratified.

The Equal Rights Amendment died that way.

At this point it appears to be the only non-violent way we could take back our country.

Beyond Article V, do you oppose the exercise by We the People of other sections or clauses in the Constitution?
