This is flying under the radar in the chaos: A Constitution of States Convention under Article V.
If just 6 more states sign on, it’ll be a Constitutional Crisis like we’ve never seen. 1/

Today, a total of 28 states have signed on to hold a Convention of States under Article V.
A 2/3 majority (or 34 states) are required to make this happen. 2/

There are only 2 ways to amend our Constitution. Option 1 has been used 27 times and Option 2, has not been used to amend the Constitution. Why?
Calling for a Convention of the States has recently been a focus funded by the very wealthy Koch Bros.
The carrots they dangle to attract you are:
1. Balanced Budget
Amendment
2. Term Limits for
Congress
Sounds good right?

Yes, a Balanced Budget & Term Limits Amendments are reasonable, but here's the problem- the Koch Bros. want to use Option 2, a Constitutional Convention of the States to amend our Constitution.
