Common Cause Ohio and the Ohio Fair Courts Alliance hosted national and local experts to hear about the threat of an Article V Convention.

In recent years, there has been an effort underway to radically change our US Constitution. Wealthy special interest groups want the power to rewrite our Constitution and have been urging state legislators to call for a new Constitutional Convention, and Ohio is no exception. But with no rules in Article V to protect us, all of our constitutional rights could be up for grabs.

Thank you to those of you who were able to join us. Click here for the slides and click here for the recording.
