What changes are you hoping for?


Just eliminating dedicated funding/budget protections from every budgetary line item would be a vast improvement.

I wonder if that’s one of the stated objectives.

What’s another reason? You know, one you haven’t heard in the media.

The only thing anyone brings up is Article 7. If that’s the goal, you don’t need a convention, especially since the “delegates” are the legislators.

Step 1. File a bill to say what you want in Article 7 and what you want in statute.
Step 2. Legislators debate it during the session. Public can testify and weigh in.
Step 3. Submit it to the people for a vote.


I find it funny that most people on here don’t like/trust “the government”. But when it comes to this issue, you want to give the politicians more power when most of these items were put in the Constitution to save them from politics in the first place. It’s ironic.
