Here’s a link to the Mt. Vernon meeting:

The purpose of the Mt. Vernon meeting is to get all of the states on the same page how to control an Article V. process.

This is the only way left to restore our Constitution.

Thank you.

In related news I was contacted by Florida's Convention of States director. He asked if I'd be willing to serve as captain for state district 7. We'll see.

Here's a link to my letter to the editor of the Panama City News Herald. It addressed the 17th. I'm warming readers up for an Article V letter.

Read the Article, while I think the 17th amendment should be repealed and States given back their ‘Ambassadors’ to the federal government.

But the proposal going forward is not about the 17th, it’s about “propose amendments to change various provisions of the Constitution” to quote the Indiana Senate Leader.

So unless the Convention of States limits itself to the 17th, I don’t support it. Don’t want to open that door under *any* guise and in no uncertain terms.

Would also like to see a rule ‘absolutely no outside lobbying by any group’.
