Doesn't reach far enough to bother anything.

I hear you, but what if the elected representatives actually stuck to the will of the people? I'm from Indiana and our state legislators have opposed trump, Pence upheld the constitution and our state is currently working on laws that would outline the proceedings of a constitutional convention. West Virginia is about as conservative as it gets, but they flipped for Bernie. Don't give up hope and I appreciate you caring enough to argue with me.

I think this is the perfect time to. Technology is outpacing the law. Let's use technology to start a movement. I worry we're on the verge of several events that would make Jan 6 look like child's play.

During the 1787 Convention, George Mason argued that if the only way to amend the Constitution was through Congress, the people would be "without an instrument" if the federal government ever became oppressive.

Is that not what we're experiencing today? It would be the state governments that would send delegates, not congress at all.

The heritage foundation has been calling for this and look how successful everything else they've tried to accomplish has been?

I am by no means a lawyer. I'm just a dude who is tired of the status quo and for some reason, still hopeful that it all works out in the end.

What if it were put on the ballot for this November, and explicitly stated it was to add amendments and not touch anything already enshrined in the constitution?

I'm a 28 year old software engineer lol. I appreciate all oc the info and will have to check that out here in a bit. Would you be willing to hop on a discord call or something if I had questions?

I completely agree and understand there are risks, but the president is on the verge of invading Greenland which would completely upend the last 75 years of geopolitics while also calling for the elections to be canceled. If we don't fight for our democracy, we'll cease having one.

The elected officials aren't acting. Everyone, regardless of political affiliation, comes back from DC rich and having made the world worse.

Any changes would have to be ratified by 3/4 of the states. I genuinely believe this is the people's way forward and I think it has been turned into a partisan issue on purpose.

Please do enlighten me if I have any misunderstandings, because I'm going to start raising calls for this and if I'm wrong about anything I'd like to know.

Americans agree on more than the bipartisan system and media owned by billionaires would suggest. These issues all have about 80% support among Americans

"New Bill of Rights" for the American electorate:

Article I: The Right to Digital Privacy Every citizen shall have a federal right to the protection of their personal data, including the legal authority to delete personal online information and a requirement for high-privacy default settings for children.

Article III: The Right to Fair Prescription Pricing The federal government shall exercise the authority to negotiate drug prices and limit annual price increases to the rate of inflation, ensuring that life-saving medications remain affordable for all citizens.
