A much more effective approach will be to push our state representatives to enforce the one we have, especially the 10th Amendment.
If we cannot use what we have, which is clearly quite powerful, what makes anyone think our State legislatures will not strip the document and neuter such provisions leaving us with something more like the EU Constitution?
It is not a Constitutional Convention... read the site.

No offense intended but this is full of raw naivete and naked ignorance.
States are now subordinated and will remain subordinated to a growing centralized authority. There is no hope in enforcing anything substantial against federal powers. The 10th Amendment was abandoned by states as an enforcement tool generations ago. It’s only relevance is in filling a gap; when the federal government is not involved in a matter, it is left to the states but the prerogative is always with the federal government.
Lastly, if ‘our enemies’ were to use a states convention to rewrite the Constitution, there is nothing stopping them now from doing so.
The reason ‘our enemies’ are not involved in using states conventions is because they don’t have the power; the right does have the power.
But will the right always have the power? No, the move to the left towards Socialism will not retreat unless the Constitution is amended starting with repeal of the Woodrow Wilson amendments, the 16th, 17th and 18th of which the 18th (prohibition) has already been repealed.
At some time in the future, the left will have the power to use the state conventions option and unlike the right they will use it.
