This so over do! And I am proud of my home Florida being the leader in this.


Article V of the U.S. Constitution states that Congress shall call a Convention of the States in order to propose amendments to the Constitution if two-thirds of the state legislatures request one.

The 34th state required, Michigan, submitted its petition earlier this year, but significant questions remain about the validity of all 34 requests currently at hand.

For example, some of the applications have been “rescinded” by the states — but the Constitution makes no provision for such a process.

In addition, not all of the states agree on what sort of convention to convene. Some have requested a convention to discuss amending the Constitution to require a balanced budget; others seek to overturn the 2010 Citizens United Supreme Court case by means of Constitutional amendment.

In fact, Florida alone has submitted four such applications since 2010, all regarding different topics.

North Carolina's also sent in an application for a Convention of the States...but its' something that needs to be treaded along carefully for conservatives' aren't the only ones w/ideas; there's a lot of people on the Left who'd like to slip their ideas into a COTS (higher minimum wage, marijuana provisions, an end to the Electoral College, etc.)... :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:

We are going down the tubes as a country and it is time for drastic measures of risk taking. Under the current situation and elections we still have candidates that are not listening to the people.
