NO.
This will open the door to turn the country full on socialism. Obama is just salivating and waiting to turn our limited government into a full-on “proactive” government that can force people to do his bidding.
They’ll destroy both the 1st and 2nd amendment right off the bat.
Massie does have reservations. Gaetz and Buck think they can limit the Convention to the two specific topics.
The John Birch Society has opposed Article V for as long as I can remember.

No it won’t, It would take two thirds of all the states to turn the country into “full blown socialism”. Look at how many states Trump won last election. The democrats don’t have anywhere near two thirds, not even close. We’re actually in a position to get some good things done through an article V convention of states and should do it. The democrats would be in a horrible position and would lose their asses.
Don’t be afraid, any changes ratified by the Article V convention would have to be ratified by the convention and and the states in the same way as a Constitutional Amendment...they’re not 38 states that would ratify the elimination of the 1st or 2nd Amendment...
If that is true then all the more reason to get it over with. I do not think it is true...

Wrong! Either ignorant, or purposeful disinformation. Only thing that comes out are specific proposed amendments, that still must be ratified by 34 of the states. Nothing idiotic will get far. But term limits will save the country.
To Skywise: If Article V was the portal to socialism, why hasn’t the Left been screeching for a convention?
