Dear Patriot,
Your General Assembly is considering a dangerous measure that may spell the end for our Constitution as we know it.
Delegate L. Scott Lingamfelter(R-31), has introduced a dangerous Article V reform plan, HJR 3, in the Virginia House of Delegates.
The resolution attempts to utilize the untested “Convention” process to propose and ratify amendments to the Federal Constitution.
As you well know, the Federal Government has, for decades upon decades, operated outside of the Constitutional boundaries originally laid out by the Founders.
Unfortunately, instead of holding the politicians in DC accountable for violating the Constitution, misguided Republicans all over the country are attempting to solve the problem by simply amending the Constitution . . .
. . . the same Constitution that the politicians currently refuse to abide by!
However, there is an even bigger problem with the Article V Convention process.
Simply put, because it has never been attempted, none of the self-proclaimed “experts” know what will happen at a Convention if they get their way.
The Constitution itself doesn’t spell out the convention process or how delegates should be chosen.
So progressive activists will be able to use their money and influence to affect the entire process.
In fact, several George Soros and Bloomberg-funded left-wing front groups are actively clamoring for a Constitutional Convention, including organizations like the Center for Media and Democracy, Code Pink, the Sierra Club, and the secretive Wolf-PAC.
Soros and his pals want to use their dominance over powerful liberal states like California, Illinois, and New York to limit free speech or repeal the individual’s right to bear arms.
ANY Article V Convention proposal would put all of our rights on the chopping block, because it gives unelected, unaccountable delegates free rein to rewrite the entire Constitution.
That’s why it’s so important that we stop the politicians in Richmond before this process gets hijacked by Liberals who couldn’t care less about the Constitution in the first place.
Please call and email the following legislators and tell them to reverse course and oppose a dangerous Article V Convention!

Do you trust the hundreds of progressive organizations calling for an Article V Convention to do the right thing and rein in the federal government?
Do you trust the powerful special interests, backed by George Soros, Michael Bloomberg and their ilk, to do the right thing?
Do you trust the progressive states, such as California, New York, and Illinois to fall in line with what Virginia wants?
In Liberty,
Michael Wood
State Coordinator
PS: An Article V convention is dangerous, and will likely hand our Constitution over to committed leftists like George Soros and Michael Bloomberg
Here are a few more reasons it just won’t work:
*** Once assembled, the convention would be pure chaos.
*** Any number of constitutional amendments could be considered, regardless of what your lawmakers say. Every single word of the Constitution is subject to change.
