Conservative Faction Align with Progressives Against Convention of States

There seems to be a schism within conservative ranks over whether or not States should invoke Article V of the U.S. Constitution. We all recognize there is a problem with the federal government. We also recognize something has to be done about it. Some are willing to address these issues by shoring up the Constitution through the amendment process; others fear a runaway convention.


I personally don’t understand these fears. A runaway convention is not practical under the provisions therein. Each State’s General Assembly must provide their delegates with detailed instructions to which they cannot deviate. If these provisions pass the convention, each state must vote on each individual amendment. This is a very difficult process. Here is Article V:


The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.


There is a disinformation campaign on both the right and left as to the motives of the Convention of States Project. I am not a spokesperson, but I recognize the difficulty in this process and the necessity for reigning in a rogue judiciary, a negligent Congress, and a runaway administrative state. Hell, we are still dealing with the aftermath of the Obama regime. This country cannot afford another president with a callous disregard for the Constitution and the rule of law. What more of an incentive do we need?





There are strong forces that want to keep the status quo. Take a look at this cartoon. What does this imply? It implies that advocates for a convention of States are in league with George Soros. This cartoon is an absurdity. George Soros is trying to stop this movement. He is funding a redistricting campaign headed by Eric Holder. One of their goals is to wrest control from conservatives in states legislatures by using the courts. Does this sound like he’s in league with Mark Meckler and Senator Tom Coburn? Of course not.


Here is the Wicked Witch of Washington D.C. on the Convention of States Project:




All of those conservatives who are against the Convention of States Project need to recognize who they are aligned with on this issue. We almost lost our country to Washington D.C.; the status quo isn’t working.
