Urgent Action Alert: Say No to Article V Convention
There is a nationwide right-wing movement, encouraged and funded by the Koch Brothers, to convene an unprecedented Article V convention, a so-called “Convention of the States.” Such a convention would open the door to completely rewriting our Constitution.
