The late Phyllis Schlafly opposed it.
Her “Eagles” oppose it.
Concerned Women For America opposes it.
The John Birch Society opposes it (and Phyllis herself had a brief stint in it before she left it, but seems to agree with them on this one).
Now this Michigan Conservative Union is opposed to it.
What is this opposition?
They are fighting against the so called Con Con as some of the above like to call it. What it is in reality is a call for a Convention of States to propose new amendments to our U.S. Constitution. Let us read what Article V says.
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.
We don’t expect our Congress to call for a Convention of States. It is then up to the States themselves to call for a convention. We as advocates of liberty, lovers of American Exceptionalism and Freedom must get behind this. Otherwise other than Protest Movements and/or building a new party (like the Federalists), we will be finished as a nation. This is one way to break out of the current two party paradigm, and break Duverger’s law which sadly even the great Phyllis Schlafly defaulted on. Hey, you can thank her for ushering in Donald Trump as our President. It’s true for she supported him from the start.
We are grateful for Schlafly’s activism to keep radical feminism out of the United States Constitution, and we understand had it not been for this woman who embraced the feminine mystic and yet fought for that mystic and then some; some of these current battles over transgender restrooms and the LGBTQ jihad would have started much sooner and would have been approved by our U.S. Constitution on top of that. Schlafly understood the dangers of positive rights, and the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) so called was a positive rights amendment that thankfully got shot down in flames in the end.
I ask the Michigan Conservative Union this question? If Article V is the problem. what do you insist on doing instead? A protest movement? A push to build a third party? Why do you want to work with Democrats on this? I though the Democrats would support this as a way to push more progressive amendments like the ERA? Nope, I guess not. Maybe they know something about this and fear it would be a push back against their vile Marxist ways? If the MCU can’t offer any remedy other than voting for Republicans (even the best ones) then you’re not offering anything to really help our Country and are still managing the decay of our nation, as the the would be tyrants inch us closer to their dystopia for us (utopia for them).
For once let us do something right, even if the consequences are immediate pain. One way to do the right thing is to push for a Convention of States.

Disappointing: Michigan Conservative Union working with MI House Dems to kill Article V COS proposal
Most of the call concerned a meet-up in Lansing today at 9:15am, to go visit House members to try to persuade them to vote against an Article V Convention of States. A leader of the group from Traverse City told members of the discussion group, to spend more time with the Democrats, because, “they are our closest allies,” and that Republicans in “Lansing have drunk the kool-aid.”
The leader of the MCU joined the phone call 20 minutes late, and said that he has been, “assured by the House Democrat leader, that if we got them 9 Republican votes, they’ll (meaning the Dems) vote 100% against the proposal, and kill it.”
