A convention would throw open the Constitution to major overhaul. New rights to education, medical care, affordable housing, living wages, clean environment and abortion would be embraced by all those who see such things as rights. A convention would be a feast to the left. I vote NO to a convention. Could our current crop of representatives be relied upon to write a document as enduring as the current Constitution? If the answer is no, how could you expect them to improve upon it?

A convention would throw open the Constitution to major overhaul.

And you can bet the FIRST Amendment would be to render the BOR 2nd amendment neutered with excessive clauses and exceptions to a simple RIGHT TO BE ARMED.

NEVER NEVER NEVER open the constitution to a convention.

Amend it maybe, rarely.

But NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER let em have a go at the original.

By the time that convention was finshed you might be better off moving somewhere like Russia where you would be, by comparison, free.......

[HitmanLV]

You are right.

There is no way that the leftists wouldn't take advantage of such an opportunity and somehow much up the works.

We can amend without a new convention. If we so choose to, that's the way to go.

[Travis McGee]

Exactly. Not to mention that the Second Amendment would be crossed out in the first five minutes.
