On September 24th, people from across America and across the political spectrum will convene at Harvard University to discuss the advisability and feasibility of organizing towards a Constitutional Convention. The conference's lead organizers are both proponents and opponents of an Article V convention and we actively encourage the participation of those who support a convention and those who oppose holding a convention at all.

Cut, Cap and Balance didn’t contain the amendment itself - it contained a provision that required passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment in order for it to take effect. The actual amendment must be in a bill that passes by a 2/3 majority. In the House that would mean 282 - 143.
