On runaway concerns:

The following should alleviate runaway concerns, though if there's something we failed to address, please let us know.

• Article V allows for a convention to propose amendments, nothing more.  There is no danger to the existing constitution using this process.

• There are at least four ways a convention would be limited:

  • The convention is still bound by the American Justice system, so courts would bring to heel any attempts to widen its scope

  • In calling the convention, Congress would pass legislation stating that a convention is going to take place in “this city,” on “these dates,” and “on this topic.”

  • States have the authority to recall, replace and even prosecute delegates who don't stay on topic

  • Anything proposed still needs to be ratified by 75% of the states. -That means it would have to have broad, cross-partisan support.

• The call to convention and text of the bill is specific in its topic and selection of delegates, they cannot have served in congress and state legislators choose them. Over 700 bills have been passed of this nature, but because none of them were on the same topic, a convention has never been called. It would not be "open-ended". The Department of Justice itself has come to this conclusion (http://wawolfpac.org/DoJonArticleV.pdf).
   
• A convention of the states has not occurred because Congress has stepped up before the threshold was reached, it is likely this is what will happen, but it took calls to convention just like this one to get them to act. The concerns you have about a convention are addressing power that our corrupt and ineffective US congress has NOW. 
   
• The "runaway" 1787 convention is not precedent for a convention of the states as no one was bound by the constitution at that time, it didn't exist. There have been dozens of other conventions that are better precedent, both ratification conventions for previous amendments and state constitutional conventions.

Follow the money:  "Opening up the constitution" is a phrase coined and perpetuated by the John Birch Society, which was founded by the father of the Koch Brothers.  Our other notable opponent is democrat leaning lobbyist-dependent organizations like Common Cause.  Most of their funding comes from big money like George Soros and goes to lobbyists.  While they claim it is their prime goal, Common Cause has been ineffective in instituting significant campaign finance reform in the 48 years they've existed. 

The Article V Convention process is our only constitutional check on an unresponsive Congress and Supreme Court. Our founders intended for the States to be co-equal with Congress in proposing amendments to our Constitution, and called them to do it. We cannot risk undermining this fundamental balance of power by handing over exclusive power to Congress when democracy is at stake. 

To attack the process of an Article V convention is to attack the Constitution itself. This prospect destabilizes the foundation of our democratic republic. This is why we encourage everyone to debate Article V Convention applications based on the merits of the subject matter of the application alone.

And let’s remember: Democrats have held both chambers in Congress without fixing this issue; Republicans have held both chambers in Congress without fixing this issue.

Wolf PAC Washington is working to address the corrupting influence of money in politics by using the most potent tool we have to hold our federal government accountable to we the people once again, this has never been more urgent

• Friends and loved ones are being sent overseas to suffer or die for the oil interests and military industrial complex.

• Families and the elderly are being denied health care and overcharged for needed medication because of insurance and pharmaceutical lobbying.

•  Corporations are seeing 21,000 % RoI on campaign contributions, while the majority of Americans' interests are ignored or undermined.

• Even members of congress have asked to be 'freed from fundraising', as they spend 30-75% of their time trying to raise money.
