Virginia Delegate Bob Marshall is a senior Republican member of the Virginia General Assembly. Over the last 23 years, Bob has won 12 consecutive general elections in a district that had covered parts of Loudoun and Prince William Counties, and the City of Manassas Park.
Bob was first elected to the Virginia House of Delegates 1991. He now serves on the Finance Committee, as well as the Counties, Cities and Towns Committee. He previously served as Vice-Chairman of the Counties, Cities and Towns Committee, and as Chairman of a Privileges and Elections Sub Committee, as well as Chairman of the Assembly’s Joint Stem Cell Study Committee. Bob also served on the Prince William County advisory committee which proposed building the Prince William Parkway, and has received numerous civic and service awards over the years.
Additionally, Bob worked as a staff member in the U.S. Congress — for both Congressman Bob Dornan (R-CA), and Senator Jeremiah Denton (R-AL).
Bob sought the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in 2008, and came within one weighted vote of upsetting former Governor Jim Gilmore at the Republican Convention held in Richmond while being outspent nearly 10-1.
The ABSOLUTE most important amendment to our constitution is TERM LIMITS wonder why our founders did NOT include this they foresaw almost EVERYTHING but not this, has always left me wondering why!!!!

Ping, anti Article V lies.

If that’s the best you can do in the state of my birth, then perhaps I need to return to help family clear out the hysterical carnival barkers that have rooted themselves there. I know the area very very well and I can tell what kind of person Marshall is. He’s a Beltway creature feeding at whatever government trough he can push himself into. I can guarandamntee you he has never had a substantial non-government job unless it was government linked. The only real industry of Northern Virginia and Maryland is GOVERNMENT and he has found it feeds him.
So spare me his feeble canned resume of government crap jobs.
In any event, your precious Beltway Boy Marshall is grossly misinformed.
Send him this video of Mark Levin:

Get with what Mark says, not what your jerk spouts off.
I stand with Bob.
I don’t understand Freepers’ seeming general attraction to a concon.
1. It’s never been convincingly demonstrated that they can’t put EVERYTHING on the table. Given the general depravity of the American people nowadays, having elected the Obamanation twice, I have little confidence that freedom of religion or the 2A would survive such a process.
2. The PTB are ALREADY ignoring the constitution and we’re doing nothing about it. So we want to write some more amendments for them to ignore?
So, those who respect the constitution have EVERYTHING to lose in a concon, but slime like the Obamanation have NOTHING to lose in a concon. Conservative support for a concon is therefore illogical, as far as I can tell.
A couple of points. The convention of states proposes amendments to the constitution. The proposed amendments must be ratified by the states in the same manner an amendment proposed by congress must be ratified by the states. So what is the difference? The convention of states bypasses Congress. That is it. Not scary at all. The next argument is essentially why bother the government won’t follow the amendments anyway. The purpose of the convention of states is to propose amendments to restore the power of the states relative to the federal government. Indeed to provide the states legal ability to reign in the federal government. I believe the repeal of the 17th amendment is a perfect place to start and few would argue against that. So let’s call the convention of states, propose the repeal of the 17th amendment, issue it to the state legislatures for ratification and adjourn the convention. We can then call the next convention after the states iron out any problems found with the first use of Article V.
