My own take on why I support an Article V Convention for the purpose of proposing amendments
Could you imagine what would happen to the whole process once a few of the left wing groups realize that they too can add amendments? I think they would win by simply confusing everyone that doesn’t really pay attention to all of the details. I know it’s the State legislation that is voting but imaging the confusion by citizens that are not paying attention, the misinformation campaigns and the state legislators with their own agendas. It truly would put our Constitution into jeopardy.
This would have to be enacted by a group of people not only truly interested in saving our federation and Constitution but also with drive, determination and money to support it.

In fact, I suggested, in another forum, that Mister Thompson would get elected Head of the State after a runaway coinvention destroyed the present Constitution.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights AND RESPONSIBILITIES, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
I have taught my grandsons that whenever they use the word "rights" in a sentence, they better fit the word "responsibilities" in it somewhere.

P.S. This is a duplicate post, also entered on one of your prior entries.
Got to love how conservatives think that amendments would only be theirs. That's just not the way the country is going. No part of the Constitution is safe from such a convention. Except for state suffrage.
But the same high bar goes either way. Without a series of galvanizing incident neither "side" would have 3/4 of the states ratifying. But crises always go in favor of federal power.
The states were stupid enough to give up their direct representation of their legislatures in the US Senate. All it takes is a wave of progressivism and some galvanizing crisis.
This nation is currently step-by-step destroying all that it was meant to be. This needs to be reversed.
