No Constitutional Convention
Dear Elected Leaders,
Please vote NO on any resolution in our state legislature that petitions Congress to call a constitutional convention as provided for by Article V of the U.S. Constitution.
I've become aware of several organizations that are contacting all state legislators in the nation to promote resolutions petitioning Congress to convene a constitutional convention.
I am very concerned that such a convention could lead to proposing one or more amendments that could have a very harmful effect on our freedoms under the U.S. Constitution.
Background information:

(2) "Beware of Article V," a 36-minute video athttp://youtu.be/lz2RCxHZHDc
Helps state legislators understand the negative aspects of convening a constitutional convention.
(3) "States Should Enforce, Not Revise, the Constitution," an article athttp://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/7836
Furthermore, during the last 25 years the following states have passed resolutions rescinding all of their previous constitutional convention calls: Ala., Ariz., Ga., Idaho, Mont., N.D., N.H., Okla., Ore., S.C., Tenn., Va., Utah, and Wyo. I
f our state is not on this list, then please help to introduce a resolution to rescind all of our existing constitutional convention calls based on the "Model Resolution" at http://www.jbs.org/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=file&task=download&id=172%3Amodelcon-constaterescissionresolution2011&Itemid=419
To summarize:
(1) Please oppose all new resolutions to call a national constitutional convention; and
(2) please introduce and/or support a resolution to rescind all of our state's previous constitutional convention calls, if appropriate.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Citizen!
