This discussion is about the Convention of States resolution and enacting Article V in Kentucky in the next legislative session.
Article V of the U.S. Constitution:
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
The Convention of States Action advocates a national effort to call a convention of states to impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress. It takes 34 states to call the convention and 38 to ratify any amendments that are proposed.

When and where would the convention meet?
Greg, I do not see 34 states calling for a convention and 38 states ratifying amendment. I do not want to depend on those odds. I feel that we have a little bit more chance of having 25 states receding, divorcing the rest of the United States and this Washington d.c. Whitehouse. Democrats r in charge of the house by a razor edge lead. We really need 25 states?? It can’t be 15 instead?? Irs is hiring 80,000 agents to SNOOP INTO the american’s bank accounts. The banks admitted it would be a tremendous burden for the banks to keep track of.we need the federal DIVORCE. Email me when u can regarding this. God bless
Now tell me which States are more likely to want to join the convention, but need some persuasion? Although I don’t have much free time at this point, I still may be of some help.
I would like to be involved in saving our country.
What’s the progress of this Convention of States?
I would like to have a larger part of Convention of States. I live in Kingsville Texas and honestly don’t know. I do ask people to sign up and let them know what little I know. Are there live meetings or other places to visit on line I just don’t know ??? If by chance could you please text me some information or let me know of any local meeting that might be happening. I feel that I have a voice and I love my country and want my grandchildren to enjoy the same freedoms that I grow up with.Not that it matters I’m 68 years young a USMC Vet and would like to help my country.
