We the people and states can stand athwart the sad history of republics, which heretofore have collapsed into despotism.
Return to federalism and our God given freedoms!
Article V ping!
BUMP
Good luck. Most of the craven dogs in Congress are as much of the problem as Obama and also need to be kicked out of office.
They serve the Council on Foreign Relations and other anti-American groups rather than their constituents.
VERY WELL done!

I have two reference works.
The first is from the American Legislative Exchange Council, a conservative pro-business group. This document has been sent to every state legislator in the country.
Proposing Constitutional Amendments by a Convention of the States: A Handbook for State Lawmakers
The second is a 1973 report from the American Bar Association attempting to identify gray areas in the amendatory process to include an Amendments Convention. It represents the view of the ruling class of 40 years ago. While I don't like some of their conclusions, they have laid out the precedents that may justify those conclusions. What I respect is the comprehensive job they did in locating all the gray areas. They went so far as to identify a gray area that didn't pop up until the Equal Rights Amendment crashed and burned a decade later. Even if you find yourself in disagreement with their vision, it's worth reading to see how the ruling class will try to dominate an Amendments Convention.
