ARIZONA Oppose:
HCR 2041 Article V Constitutional Convention for Congressional Term Limits
HCR 2041 is going to the Floor on Monday at 1:15pm for debate and could be voted on by the full House. A new bill HB2931, “delegate” legislation tries to take away fears of an Article V Constitutional Convention. It could be used by proponents of a Convention to fool other legislators into supporting a Constitutional Convention.
Please Contact the Republican House members listed below.
MESSAGE: Please vote NO on HCR 2041 an Article V Constitutional Convention on Congressional Term Limits. We have term limits every election. There is no way to limit an Article V Convention to just Term Limits. Conservative Supreme Court Justice Scalia called an Article V convention a “horrible idea” in this age of special interests. “Once you get those people together, you never know what they’re going to do.” Don’t be fooled by a delegate bill. It won’t stop any of the dangers of an Article V Convention.
(Or better yet write your own message.) More information below.

Chief Justice Warren Burger is the highest authority in the United States to ever speak out on a Constitutional Convention. He stated: “I have also repeatedly given my opinion that there is no effective way to limit or muzzle the actions of a Constitutional Convention. The Convention could make its own rules and set its own agenda. Congress might try to limit the Convention to one amendment or to one issue, but there is no way to assure that the Convention would obey. After a Convention is convened, it will be too late to stop the convention if we don’t like its agenda…”
