This is not what Americans voted for...

What would a Convention of the States accomplish? The Constitution isn't the problem. In fact, it was discarded in principle so long ago that the government little resembles the one it describes. And we don't need a Convention of the States to replace our elected officials. We have regular elections to accomplish that. No, the real problem is us, We the People. We're the ones who allowed this to happen. We're the ones who elect and reelect those we love to complain about. No, we don't need a convention of any kind, just a mirror...

I think that in 2018 we may just see the rise of the Tea Party 3.0.

In 2018 if they hold such a convention of states it will be the beginning of the end of the Republic. Look at how Congress is operating. The same types of resistance and unwillingness to compromise is being played out in State Houses it's just not reflected in the news. Tear apart what the Founding Fathers stitched together under the leadership of George Washington in 1786-1789 and you will never recover. You need to read "The Return of George Washington" which is an historical account of the first constitutional convention in Philadelphia. Put in today's context... keeping in mind that when this convention was conducted there were no political parties, 24 hour news cycle (in fact the entire process was held as a closely guarded secret / not a single leak) The big states / small states was the issues. National security and the governments right to conduct trade, and collect tariffs while running a postal system. There were no 2D Amendment concerns, immagration, welfare, gender or racial biases, Face Book, Twitter and Snap Chat. READ how it all happened. The compromises that were made to create the most enduring government charter ever created by man....READ IT before you recommend that we should start to tinker --- READ IT!
