The majority of governors and legiatures are republican, and not of the same GOP cut as the Nationals. The state's want change. We want change.

What is the alternative? Wallow in our present muck or change it another way. Please suggest what the other way is, and don't say vote the criminals out because they were all voted into office in the first place.

Note the ACLU "response" (a criminal organization that should be investigated for aiding and abetting terrorism in my humble opinion):

"Governor Abbott, as Texans, we prefer the Framers’ plan. Don’t mess with the Constitution”

Funny that they are so concerned with the Constitution. Seems to me they do their best to pee on it every single day.

For a 'legal' group, the ACLU doesn't seem to know constitutional law. A constitutional convention was one of the two ways a an amendment to the Constitution can be enacted per Article V. Thus, it came from the Framers.

According to Mark Levin four states have formally called for an Article 5 convention. The support for a convention is gaining traction as patriots grow tired of the national government shredding the constitution. An Article 5 convention is the ultimate non-violent way to bring leviathan back to respecting state's powers and people's rights. Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower and many others cited Article 5 as a means of taking control back from Washington.

Article V

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.

2/3 = 33.

Gov. Abbott is scheduled to appear on the Mark Levin show next week to discuss his support on the convention of states.
