You call it a coalition. That's gross and deliberate misrepresentation. The goals of these groups are diametrically opposed to each other... the movements and their members are separate and distinct from each other, they are simply using the same vehicle to attempt to effect their particular brand of change... Article V.

This is America, and everyone, no matter their political persuasion, is entitled to the same protections offered by our Constitution.

PS: I've heard that George Soros votes. Does that make everyone who votes a bad, bad man? No... but it does make people who believe it (and who promulgate the lie) look like idiots.

I have never seen a source for the “Soros wants a convention” story other than the John Birch Society itself. Can you cite one?

Someone else at FR posted that Bircher baloney from January 2014.

I put on rubber boots and crept into the leftist ooze of the lefty websites cited in the column.

None of them supported Article V. There isn't any reason at all for progs to invite conservatives to amend a constitution that progs are happily destroying. If progs supported Article V, we would hear of it from MSDNC.

I'll accept your quote at face value. Meckler is right.

Most Americans are stuck fast in the rut of political parties; so is congress. The fact is that some rats in state legislatures will have to cross over, will have to change their minds in order to peacefully reform the government.

There is no guarantee they will do so. As opposed to the left, we do not seek to impose amendments to the constitution. It isn't in our conservative DNA to use tyrannical means to achieve republican ends.

If one fourth of the states object to reform, so be it.
