Convention off the states..
To do what?

Citizens concerned for the future of their country, under a federal government that's increasingly bloated, corrupt, reckless and invasive, have a constitutional option. We can call a Convention of States to return the country to its original vision of a limited federal government that is of, by and for the people.
Sounds kinda vague. I predict a total implosion at the convention.

This, if not worse.
The idea behind trying to hold a convention, likely meaning an Article V convention, would be to push new amendments into the Constitution.
That's good if the idea is to eliminate the ability of the state to do certain things, such as beggaring the people through extreme deficit spending and quantitative easing.
I have a feeling, though, that such a convention would co-opted by people looking to change or remove existing amendments such as the 2nd Amendment or the 1st Amendment.

Balance the budget.
Term limits.
Don't underestimate the amount of consensus that could be drawn in a few key areas - and it wouldn't change things overnight, but could have long-term implications.
