This is a lovely idea and you are correct about what can be accomplished. Unfortunately, getting one is the challenge. Getting these states to move has been nearly impossible. They are simply against creating a forum that will cut into their graft. Do you have a way to get the states to move that hasn’t been tried and failed over the past ten years? If so, count me in. I spent a lot of time calling and writing states with the tea party movement a decade ago. We got talk and no action. Personally I’m going to use my time working on election reform and accountability because I think that’s a worthy goal and imperative given the 2022 election and crushing the GOP with amazing MAGA primary candidates. That is achievable in the short term. Just my opinion.
If we open up a constitutional convention, its gonna be a disaster. The only thing I would want to see is a convention that declares the current government to be in contempt of the constitution and subsequently dissolving the FedGov so that another one can be reconstituted from scratch.
Riiighhhhttt.... because the politicians who fuck Americans over every chance they get, are going to make everything better at a secret behind closed doors convention to make a new constitution.
We are going to have to figure out something because this is Pure BS what is going on
You do realize that ALL 4 of the REPUBLICAN politicians that died in December supported term limits

Bad idea. They'll just rewrite the constitution to be even worse.
