The least their website could do is tell me which states have passed their resolution.

Why 34 states?

Why not a simple majority? 34 is 68% of 50.

Article V requires that applications from the legislatures of two thirds of the states are required to meet the threshold for Congress to call an Amendments Convention.

It would be nicer if they put up a big colored map of the United States - with states that pass in whatever color, states considering in another color and liberal states in Communist red....

Good news!

To summarize from a previous post by GraceG:

1. Elect More Republicans - Failed due to RINO/Uni-party confluence.

2. Article V Convention of States to propose Amendments - Needed to try to take power from the federal government back to the states and reel in the federal leviathan.

3. State Nullification - Last ditch effort to try to take power back from the federal monster, though by this point it may be too late.

4. State Secession - Could either end up peaceably like the breakup of the Czechoslovakia in 1993 or a brutal:

5. Civil War II like the first one.... The longer we wait on #2, the more likely #3, then #4 and finally #5. .

So, do we do nothing and just wait for # 5?

No! Article V Now!

Careful of this governor. He’s a major RINO.

Repeal the 17th Amendment - simple, effective and cannot be cheated.

If #5 happens, hopefully people have kept lists of those who who have been on the oppressive side driving that reaction.
