You know, I have repeatedly heard that we need to get enough states together and do an amendment to the constitution. The problem is that there is where it ends. Why are we not already doing it? Is it that nobody in the conservative wing of the Republican Party knows how to make it happen or is there really nobody willing to stick their neck out and get the ball rolling. Sure, everyone who participates will be roasted by the commie media outlets but that cannot be a reason to not do what needs to be done. Can anyone tell me why there has been no real action on this?

There’s a process that needs to be followed, as defined in Article V of the Constitution. 2/3rds of the state legislatures need to vote in favor of a convention of the states before it can proceed. Currently I believe 4 state legislatures have approved it. Many others are in the process of debating the issue. I agree that we need to pressure our state legislatures to approve this. It is vitally important - now more than ever.
