Article V is both a gift and acknowledgment of a societal right of the people to frame their government. Since congress has not, and likely will not call a convention, it is past time for the states to coordinate a convention among themselves.

There is little time.

I agree, there is little time. The community organizer has the world and especially the USA in such a turmoil, nothing can be foreseen. The danger posed by our current administration and uniparty cannot be underestimated.

I am hoping much progress will be made with Article V planning and the actual convention will occur in 2017. The election will take much of the spotlight this year, but work can certainly be done by the individual state legislators in this regard.

It's almost as if each state legislature should get as much done as they can this year just in case the election is hijacked and Hillary does indeed become President. An Article V Convention of States will be a national emergency then.

My concern is that Trumpmania will overwhelm the nascent Article V movement.

The troubles of our republic are beyond the cure of any election.
