With the 3/4 threshold to amend, no current amendments are in danger for bi-partisan support other than the 17th.
BUT, a balanced budget amendment and a tax based on consumption rather than income are realistic and could come to be.
I can't find a downside.
I got a robo call soon back. Pressed "1" to ask to be removed from the list.
Young man tells me he's calling "on behalf" of Entergy Corp., and they'll come to my house and replace all of my incandescent bulbs with compact florescents and give me a "water saving shower head" FOR FREE!
I asked who he worked for. Then had to explain what I meant by that. To no avail.
My tax dollars at work.
I'd MUCH rather have my $$$ go to a publicly traded company of my choosing rather than submit do business with the $7 light bulb folks that are receiving subsidies from my taxes.

"Hey, those rightwingers don't need a super market for food! That's not fair! They're hunting and swapping bullets for food and dry goods while our EBT's wont work!"

Do we have the support of the majority of Americans?
Gallups National Mood survey stated that 66% of Americans are dissatisfied with Congress because they believe the federal government has become too big and too powerful. The American citizenry is right, but Convention of States is changing that, as we take the power from the federal government and return it to the citizens and the states!
How are we returning the power back to the citizens? The Convention of States Action petition is a tool for citizens to tell their legislators to bring the power and the decision making home
and our state legislators are hearing your message!
How is it working?
Our petition has gathered signatures in over 97% of all state legislative house districts across the nation!! We are delivering these petitions in real time, automatically to the legislators, AND we are personally hand delivering copies of this petition to legislators all across the nation.
We are helping to preserve our Republic right now! We are implementing a solution as big as the problem!
​We have every right to dream heroic dreams. Those who say that we're in a time when there are not heroes, they just don't know where to look. ​~ Ronald Reagan~
​​We know where to look, as we look to YOU. Today we have this opportunity to take part in the patriotic act of returning our nation to self-governance through a Convention of States...we can do this, we are doing this!
Together we stand...
For America,
Mark Meckler, President COSAction
