What is the threat?

For years there’s been a stealth mvmt guided & funded by #DarkMoney sliding under radar

GOAL 👉 to #RewriteConstitution in ways beneficial ONLY to #Koch-#Mercer-Extreme Christian Right-1% population

#NoConCon #UnKochAmerica #ALEC

How?
By pushing thru state legsln for COS, for amendments via a process not used for 231 yrs

Why?
B/C there're no rules to lmt spec interest group $ for/or particp'n in a COS or to restrict agenda, even # of states needed to ratify can be changed

A #COS would mean that ALL Constitutions Rights & Freedoms would be on chopping block🔪

BECAUSE it's IMPOSSIBLE to guarantee Convention won't become a Runaway is EXACTLY why amendments have been made using safe method of requiring 2/3 votes in Congress

Extra IMPORTANT message 📢

It’s ESSENTIAL to understand 👉 ALLEGED PURPOSE of ANY & ALL RESOLUTIONS calling for a #COS is IRRELEVANT

Whether claim is for #BalancedBudgetAmendment #BBA
or to impose fiscal restraints or term lmts, or Overturn #CitizensUnited

But wait... I hear you shrieking! We WANT #CU overturned!

YES we do

BUT NOT AT A #CONCON/#COS ‼️

Because of reasons outlined above AND because it's unclear how numbers of calls for COS may be calculated

Have a look at totals in second image 👇👇👇
IT'S UNKNOWN IF CALLS FOR DIF AMENDMENTS CAN BE COMBINED

Eg #BBA calls have 28 of 34 state votes needed to call a COS – only 6 more state votes are required

The current #CU calls are from DEMS!

We MUST NOT HAND CONSTITUTION TO GOP on a silver platter!
