Beware of Attacks on the Constitution
Americans are fortunate to have a written Constitution that has withstood the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune for more than two centuries, and we certainly don't need a new constitution.
There is nothing wrong with the one we have except that politicians do not obey it and liberal judges pretend it is a "living" document that they can re-interpret according to their own social and economic preferences.
Many liberals and globalists don't like our Constitution because it contains built-in stumbling blocks against their goals of big government and even global government.
Even some conservative types express irritation with our Constitution when they cannot get Congress to pass the legislation they desire. So, different factions, seeking different goals, have turned to an attempt to use the never-used provision in the Constitution's Article V, which requires Congress to call a new Constitutional Convention if two-thirds (34) of the states pass resolutions calling for it. This is colloquially called a Con Con.

U.S. now only 2 states away from rewriting Constitution Dec 2008
A public policy organization has issued an urgent alert stating affirmative votes are needed from only two more states before a Constitutional Convention
could be assembled in which "today's corrupt politicians and
judges" could formally change the U.S. Constitution's "'problematic' provisions to reflect the philosophical and social mores of our contemporary society."
"Don't for one second doubt that delegates to a Con Con wouldn't revise the First Amendment into a government-controlled privilege, replace the 2nd Amendment with a 'collective' right to self-defense, and abolish the 4th, 5th, and 10th Amendments, and the rest of the Bill of Rights," said the warning from the American Policy Center.
Critic: 'This is a horrible time to try such a crazy scheme'
