THIS AFTERNOON
Arizona Emergency! HCR2043 (congressional term limits; Article V Convention) has been fast-tracked and will be voted on by the full House THIS AFTERNOON.
MESSAGE: Please vote no on HCR2034 an Article V Constitutional Convention for term limits. There is nothing in Article V that limits a Convention to one subject. Don’t put our Constitution in jeopardy. Please stand strong against HCR2034. (Or better yet write your own message.) More information below.

Phyllis Schlafly the founder of Eagle Forum often quoted Chief Justice Warren Burger as 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 one issue, but there is no way to ensure that the Convention would comply. After a Convention is convened, it will be too late to stop the convention if we don’t like its agenda…”

In addition, in 2015 the New Jersey Law Journal reported that Supreme Court Justice “Scalia called it ‘a horrible idea’ to hold a constitutional convention in this age of special interests.”
Article V of the U.S. Constitution:
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.
