The Convention of States put forth in Article V of the Constitution is the only way we are going to head the U.S. in the right direction.
Both sides are too in the tank for big government.

In the piece it states: "So far, the U.S. Constitution has been amended 27 times. None of those were amendments generated by a constitutional convention."
This is erroneous as it is NOT a Constitutional convention, but a Convention of States to Ammend the Constitution. Huge difference.
