I’m not so sure a convention is a good idea considering the weak leadership and lack of conservative organization.

You must have faith and believe that good will triumph over liberal evil.(check the links provided)

We have the growing Convention of States movement that was secured for us by Article V of the Constitution. Those that wish to ignore this firm element of our country's founding a deserving of the tyranny that is surely coming our way.

Conservatives are overwhelmingly stronger at the state level than at the federal level. Article V takes place at the state level with a bare bones administrative role of the federal government.

There is no way the Left can control an Article V COS.

Wyoming neuters New York.

Kansas neuters California.

You get the idea.

The Left does not have the numbers in the conservative states and states are far more conservative in number than liberal.

We can expect the Left, Soros, Bloomberg to throw massive funds into conservative states but it will not work. The grassroots in conservative states do not and will not trust liberal intruders.

It takes 2/3s of states to pass an amendment and 3/4s to ratify it. No danger of a runaway convention.

And it’s a convention to propose amendments to the existing Constitution. It is not a Constitutional Convention which would draw up a new constitution.

Try getting an amendment through to repeal the 2nd Amendment. Not going to happen.

Remember, it’s not dependent on the number of voters, it is dependent on the number of states.
