They will promise anything you want and give you everything THEY want.

Many folks I respect and call friends, support the Article V Convention. I was rabidly supportive myself until I did my “due diligence” research into the actual facts. I can’t blame anyone for clinging to hope for a way to change the direction of this nation, but I will not and hope you will not drive blindly off the cliff and take our nation with you. I don’t know who is responsible for this deception but I am certain THEY have a plan to take advantage of a “Convention Call”, and have been planning it for decades.

Show it to me in the Constitution…
There is no Constitutional basis or basis in law to assert the states will have any control over an Article V convention once the convention open.
Part 4 has been published, and may become an IPR article later. http://tennesseewatchman.com/2015/02/19/article-v-part-4-historical-perspective/
The only thing that can come out of an Article V Convention of States is proposed amendments. From those proposed amendments, only common sense amendments have a chance at making it past the 38 state threshold for ratification.
Don’t take my word for it … Read Article V for yourself.
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.
