I think there is inherent risk in a convention of states. I also think there is inherent reward with a convention of states.
The correct outcome will only occur through massive vigilance by We The People.
Here are a few of my thoughts.
With the status quo, our country is nose diving off a cliff right now. We are at the precipice as a nation. Depending on this year's midterms and 2024, it is possible that our country will be lost forever. We can see the deeply rooted corruption all around us. This is where we are now.
I believe one of the main reasons our country is cucked right now is because there are no term limits for any elected officials except for President. This allows blackmail, bribery, and undue political influence to get deeply entrenched in our political system. This is the main reason that deep state uniparty politicians never lose. They are 100% controlled by their handlers. As we saw in 2020, their handlers also control the vote counting, so We The People truly have no voice via representative government.
If you look at an election map of our country based on county, our nation is very deep red all over the place. Only major cities are blue for the most part. When power is used at lower levels, meaning counties and municipalities, the power gets much stronger for conservative influence. This would be a good thing if there is a convention of states.
The TRUTH is coming out about the plandemic and it will continue to do so. When people realize that our federal government committed mass murder via covid hospital protocols and "vaccine" demands, the people will be so unbelievably pissed off that it will be the perfect time to hold a convention of states and dramatically limit the federal government's control over the people. Our nation was founded on the basis of federalism (state power) and there is no question that the federal government has taken far too much power and used it for ill will.
It is my understanding from reading one of the bills passed, Wisconsin in this case, that their request for a convention is limited to specific calls of action:
...for the calling of a Convention of the States limited to proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress...
In conclusion, the status quo is killing our country. We must create major changes to get out of our controlled demise. Term limits are an essential component needed to remove corrupt lifelong politicians. I do not mean to minimize the objectives of fiscal restraint either, these are essential as well. I am personally convinced that the majority of federal spending is a giant money laundering operation designed to enrich the politicians themselves, along with their enablers.
I would also add that the convention of states should also make all elected politicians accountable to the laws they pass. No more carve outs for members of congress. If they are going to pass laws then they need to live by them too.
i think if we had clean elections, 70% of our problems as a nation would vanish. I don't think we'd even need term limits as long as elections and primaries were clean.
If we can achieve that it would be a great first step. I'm on board with that.
What we are seeing in battleground states right now, which are largely, if not all, controlled by "conservatives" is basically zero effort to confront and remove the voter fraud. That tells me these "conservatives" are in on the fraud and they will do nothing about it. In many cases, these are long serving politicians that have worked their way up to influential positions in their parties. It is my personal belief that they rose up to those positions of power because they were blackmailed, bought out, or otherwise unduly influenced by those who want to control them. If there were term limits, it would be harder to control politicians via blackmail or bribery, because they wouldn't be in power very long due to term limits.
you mean like eyepatch? he betrayed maga almost immediately. what corrupts these people are threats and bribes. anyone can be succeptible at any stage in their career.
i just don't think term limits will do anything except limit the amt of time we can have people like ron paul or jim jordan. Once we finally get maga candidates in office, theyre like gold. But they'd have to be tossed just like the rest in the case of term limits.
double edged sword kind of a deal. as long as youre not on the recieving end of it its fine, but if it were turned on you, it would be no bueno.
I think most of our issues should go on the back burner until election reform is achieved. And after a few rounds of honest elections, THEN see where we're at with the other stuff.

I really like your take on this and I agree with you.
With ACTUAL fair elections we can get rid of politicians at the ballot box.
Because of corruption, guys like McConnell seem to stay forever. With fair elections, I doubt guys like that get reelected.
