Frighteningly, they are just a few states away from succeeding.\r\n\r\nUnder Article V of the U.S. Constitution, Congress is required to hold a constitutional convention if two-thirds of state legislatures (34 states) call for one. But there is a catch: there are absolutely no rules for an Article V Convention outlined in the Constitution. That means the group of people convening to revise our country's core legal document could be totally unelected and unaccountable. There is no way to limit the convention to a single issue, so the delegates could write amendments that revoke any of our most cherished rights\u2014like our right to peaceful protest, our freedom of religion, or our right to privacy.\r\n\r\nRight now, there are four major campaigns for an Article V Convention, and each has a different set of goals. But together, they have convinced 28 states to call for a convention. That means they have just six states to go\u2014which is why we are stopping an Article V Convention by ramping up our efforts to reject and rescind calls in states nationwide."}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_what_were_doing","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_what_were_doing":{"title":"","featured_work":[2003,498]}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_take_action","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_take_action":{"heading":"","button_text":"","manually_curate":false,"action":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_banner","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_banner":{"use_donate_banner":true,"title":"Title [highlight]with highlighting[\/highlight] and additional text.","button":null,"image":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_events","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_events":{"heading":"Events"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_related_articles","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_related_articles":{"heading":"Updates","button_text":"See all Related Articles","manually_curate":false,"articles":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_resources","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_resources":{"heading":"Related Resources","button_text":"See all Related Resources","manually_curate":false,"resource":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_press","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_press":{"heading":"","button_text":"","manually_curate":false,"press":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_our_experts","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_our_experts":{"heading":"","manually_curate":false,"people":null}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
