Listen to Phyllis: No Constitutional Convention!

The first Constitutional Convention was called in Philadelphia to amend the Articles of Confederation. It was not given a broad brush to start from scratch. We are blessed as a nation that these wise and gifted men did exactly that. But would we be so fortunate today? Who would attend as delegates? Harry Reid? Nancy Pelosi? Newt Gingrich? Rahm Emmanuel? John Boehner? Do you trust any of them enough to give them a free reign to rewrite the Constitution?

Read Phyllis Schlafly's A Warning About Things to Come. The founders would be rolling over in their graves if they could see the abuses of the Constitution which is almost dead in this country. Phyllis is spot on when she says:
Calling a convention to amend the U.S. Constitution would be a plunge into darkness because the only rules to govern it are those specified in Article V. It takes two-thirds (34) of the states to pull the trigger, Congress controls and issues the Call, and the Convention must consider Amendments (in the plural).
Don't get on the Convention bandwagon. It's heading pell-mell for the cliff.
