John,
There’s a dangerous plot brewing in state legislatures across the country that could rewrite the entire U.S. Constitution — and most people don’t even know it’s happening.
It’s called an Article V Convention. This rarely used process would allow state legislatures — not Congress or the courts — to open up the Constitution and make permanent, sweeping changes to our rights and freedoms. And once a convention begins, there are no rules to limit what can be changed.
We can’t let that happen. Tell your state lawmakers: Reject an Article V Convention!
Article V was written into the Constitution to give states a way to propose amendments — but extremists are now exploiting it to force through a convention that could dismantle the very foundation of our democracy.
Here’s what’s at stake:
And it’s not just theory — as of today, there are only six states left needed to trigger a national convention. And right now, multiple states are considering resolutions to do just that.
We’ve stopped these efforts before — and with your help, we can do it again. But we need to send a clear message to lawmakers before this gains any more momentum.
John, don’t let a handful of lawmakers and lobbyists rewrite our Constitution in secret. Join us in demanding they reject this dangerous effort.
Thank you for standing with us,
The team at Common Cause
