Composed is a collection of documents on the subject in opposition to a constitutional-convention.
My reason for doing this is simply because I want to get this it off my chest. I once supported an Article V Convention as a means of limiting the federal government. Now I abhor the idea upon closer inspection with fact finding. Just as James Madison wrote “The States, in their sovereign capacity, are the parties to the constitutional compact; and are thus the final authority on whether the federal government has
violated the Constitution. There can be no tribunal above the authority of the
States to decide whether the compact made by them has been violated by the
federal government. --Madison’s “Report of 1799-1800 on the Virginia Resolutions,” p.192,
the 3 rd Resolution [condensed]” Any Article V convention has the inherent power to propose
whatever changes to our Constitution the Delegates want, including abolishing our form of
government and rewriting or replacing our Constitution and changing the ratification
process. Is that really what your Legislature wants to apply for? I don’t.

“I think the majority of Americans are too lazy to elect honest politicians. But I
think some men and women could be found who are morally and intellectually
capable of re-writing the Constitution.” I have included the screen shot of that comment. If that comment does not get your blood boiling I don’t know what would. I for one do not think I will be morally and intellectually lazy. And no I do not support the status quo of DC. Yet I do not believe a constitutional-convention is the answer. There are answers here that are covered here. But let me make one thing clear, If you can’t at least devote 20 minutes a day to doing your own fact checking and want things on a silver platter, I don’t think I can help you. If you read through all this and you are still not convinced I don’t think I can help you either. Know that when a crisis hits nothing will save you and your family. NOTHING ! Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
