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

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.
Clearly you are afraid of the citizens having the actual power.
SIT DOWN & STFU
Not at all, I thought we were here to discuss. Many have heard the same thing I have about the concerns of constitutional conventions and thankfully some people on here were kind enough to give me more information, which is what I thought the whole point was. They gave me more information to think and were not just rude as it seems you might be trying to start a fight. I appreciate constructive criticism and those who get me to think outside my comfort zone, give me more information I may not have had and not call me a coward.
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..
The whole point is it takes 35 of them to agree. It doesn't matter what they do if they can't convince the rest of the US.
Makes sense, there has only been the one as stated before so it’s true it could be a myth meant to keep states from trying to amend the constitution. We just have some crazy states!
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.
So it is........hmmm
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!
