In both repsonses you are explaining what is wrong, as if the rest of us are ignorant to what is happening. We see the same thing you do. Long recitations of what you also believe caused our nations problem do not resolve our issues.
We cant fix this by going to the polls. We cant fix this by hoping that the better angels of our leaders appear one day. What can fix this is the insertion of state government back into a side by side relationship with the citizens of this country back to ruling our federal government rather than as is today. How do you propose that happens?
You even mention that you are unsure of the means of a convention of the states. Many others understand how this can occur. Read the links posted to the ABA paper from the 1970’s on the subject. Refer to the paper written by ALEC. Ask people who are involved in the movement rather than attempting to pursued others when you even admit you do not fully understand.
Please take the time to understand before you offer others advice that could be flat out wrong.

That is not at all what I said. I said, “The goals are general with little mention of the means to achieve those goals” and then listed the goals enumerated in the Florida bill. The Florida bill does not describe the means by which those goals will be achieved.
Bringing attention to well connected high-powered people who advocate what you also advocate but who may have entirely different motives for doing so is not “bad advice”. Know who you’re getting in bed with. Do your due diligence.
