In June, the Ohio House held hearings to advance extremist agendas<\/strong> by calling for a Constitutional Convention of States. This is a dangerous and unnecessary direction for Ohio and a major threat to our democracy<\/strong>.<\/p>

A fringe group of right-wing ideologues is pushing to fundamentally rewrite the United States Constitution. House Joint Resolution 3<\/strong><\/a> calls for an Article V convention, and <\/strong>House Bill 607<\/strong><\/a> would create a legislative process to appoint convention delegates. <\/strong><\/p>

If a Convention were convened, unelected and unaccountable delegates would have the power to rewrite our Constitution with no checks or balances. This is an unprecedented and risky endeavor that puts our democratic principles at grave risk.<\/p>

Tell Speaker Stephens and your Ohio House Representative to stop extremist threats of Article V today. <\/strong>Click \u201cstart writing\u201d to compose your message.<\/p>","featured_image_url":"","browser_url":"https:\/\/act.commoncause.org\/letters\/tell-speaker-stephens-and-your-representative-to-reject-article-v-legislation","address":"","timezone":"","latitude":"","longitude":"","is_virtual":false,"start_date":"","end_date":"","embed":"
