Is this true? Do you think 34 states would sign on? And would it hold weight if we did?

Constitutional conventions are very very dangerous. Anything can be brought forward, there is a reason there has only ever been one convention.
Its a convention of states, not a constitutional convention. No more dangerous than the re-writing of the constitution we have going on right now
I will have to look into that more, my understanding has been 2 methods of amending the constitution, Congress or the states call a constitutional convention, I’ve always understood conventions are very dangerous and there has only ever been the one. Granted they are stomping all over the constitution and violating it but the constitution still Is what it is. We need to get leaders back in power who will support the constitution.
The only people that call the constitutional conventions “dangerous“ are those that are scared of WE THE PEOPLE.
This is true. Constitutional conventions scare DC politicians. Why? Because suddenly they don't get any more say than you or I. Conventions bypass them - and that's the point.
Or scared of what some crazy state like NY or CA might being. Under a constitutional convention anything can be proposed. We run the risk of something far worse being added.
Read Mark Levin's book about article 5 and convention of states. Great read and enlightening.
Thank you! Will do, love learning new things especially when I can’t trust some of the history I’ve been taught.
Give me a state convention over a congress vote any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
I just don’t trust some of the other states, they can propose stuff too under a convention. Look at what these corrupt states did with the Election..
Amendments can also be directly enacted by the states (assuming the requisite 34 states pass such an amendment) or passed into law by Congress and then ratified by the states. A convention is not the only way to amend the constitution. A convention does, however, allow states to bypass Congress. 34 states still ultimately need to agree to the amendments. So while any idea may be presented, it has to get approval from 34 states.
Hmmm. 34? That's like 17 + 17.
The "dangerous" label was put on there to scare us away from taking back control from the federal government.
As Reefay said, check out Mark Levin's explanation.
Thank you, will do!
I tend to agree with you, but I have to ask if we've reached the point where it's the best remaining alternative?
I’m hoping we are to the end. I just don’t know how people who have been here from the beginning have handled it all. I don’t know how much more I can take! My county is more asleep than awake. I am one of the few who refuse to wear a mask, when most of the rest of my states counties never followed the BS. I was a little sad when I went to dinner with my sons special ed teacher and a few other parents, out of the 5 of us only 2 won’t get the vaccine (me being one). I sympathized with one who has pretty much been locked down for a year, their daughter is downs and had to have heart surgery in October. My sons teacher is so sweet, and just wants to teach. I keep thinking of Plan to save the world video, people just want to get married have kids and live their lives. The 3rd mom works in the medical field and can’t wait to get her special needs son (10) “vaccinated”. I was trying not to be the Debbie downer and had to bite my tongue. By the end of dinner I couldn’t help but mention a few things. They had not heard of the great reset, agenda 2030, the WEC, or any of it. I tried to tell a bit but added, I can feel good things coming and the best is yet to come. I did say that we have to protect our rights, the Jews weren’t just rounded up and thrown in cattle cars. It happened over time, little by little.its hard to balance how to wake people up when it’s someone like my sons teacher and I really like her.
If the left tries something stupid whatever they do then has to be ratified by 3/4ths of the states. If they try to rig that or cheat doing that the public will lose their shit. Stupid being afraid of these lunatics.
US BEING AFRAID IS WHAT GIVES THEM POWER!!!

lol How can you say they are VERY VERY dangerous if there has only been ONE?
how the fuck is this the top comment? lol
Well the first constitutional convention was where they created the document and it wasn’t just one amendment. During a convention anything can be proposed, from any crazy state the danger lies in not knowing what the heck you might wind up with. I don’t even want to think about what New York or California would come up with.
We live in a termite infested house. The foundation is solid but the structure above it is beyond saving. The only option is to tear it down and rebuild.
It is my belief that we need to repeal every amendment after the tenth and begin anew.
That is what the left says too. Tear it down and rebuild, the foundation is unlike anything ever seen in history. Men have God given rights not government given rights! I don’t know what the answer is, but we do have to clean house you are 100% correct on that.
That is NOT what the left says. AT ALL. They want to destroy the Constitutition completely. I dont. I think everything after the first ten amendments has bastardized and twisted what our Founding Fathers envisioned into something barely recognizable.
I guess I misunderstood you, when you said “tear down and rebuild”, that is exactly what I’ve heard from progressive/ liberal activists, the difference is they just want to rebuild in their idea. I loved listening to Rush Limbaugh and he always said they look at the constitution as a bill of negative rights, says what the government can’t do and not what the government can do. That’s the glory of our constitution, anything not in the constitution is either left to the states to govern themselves the way the people want. No offense, just misunderstood you.
There is a Soros backed effort to open a constitutional convention. Not sure if this is related. The idea sounds like something most of us can support. Like Martha1776 says once a convention is opened then any type of amendment can be proposed and adopted. The best path to term limits is free and fair elections.
