Answering Article V Convention Critics

Critics just go on about not being able to control it without giving real facts. It is time for the facts to stand for themselves.

Runaway is inevitable
This concern is that nefarious groups with alleged Soros money will hijack and create a runaway convention, like a normal day in DC, which apparently we cannot win either.
First, this concern always fails to acknowledge the controls. An Article V convention has three multi-year hurdles: 

• 34 state legislatures must want to participate;
• Legislature-selected delegates must pass amendments with a majority vote;
• Then 38 state legislatures must ratify the amendments.

By design the entire process is state driven and Congress’s only role is to pick the date and time. Furthermore, states can simply disengage if the convention’s objective or their directives change.
Second, it is one thing to influence a large majority of DC-centric politicians who share the same big government mindset and quite another task to intimidate 38 right-leaning state legislatures.
Third, don’t worry about the Left. They are quite satisfied to effectively “amend” the Constitution every day using the unelected federal bureaucracy and courts. 

Fourth, this is not like the Equal Rights Amendment fight in the 70’s. Our advantages today are:

• This time we are defining the agenda and are on offense;
• A healthy majority of state legislatures are center-right;
• We can bypass the media narrative by using talk radio and social media;
• Our younger generation, while currently obsessed with social issues, is beginning to realize that federal policies are standing between them and the American Dream;
• The degree of usurpations and abuse of power by the federal government grows at an accelerating rate so evidence abounds, in case Republicans want to use it.
