No fucking way. Who gets to attend this "convention of states"? Politicians?

It's better to simply organize locally and ignore all the "let's unify the country" crap.

The convention is being organized by the states that want to restore the constitution and reign in the federal government and massive debt.

They would be better to leave the union and leave the debt to the blue states. The debt is bogus and should simply be disavowed.

I don't want the constitution restored unless they get rid of the majority of the amendments past number 10. Voting should be limited to free white male land owners over the age of 21. Senators should be picked by the State Legislators.

One of the worst mistakes was letting states pick senators by popular vote. Senators represent the state governments and should be appointed by the state government.
