Gave Congress the power to amend 27 amendments to the Constitution Every generation has had an amendment But what if Congress IS the problem?

Article V Convention of the States We need 2/3 of the states to call for convention. A place (other than Congress) to discuss solutions to an issue. Any proposed Amendment still has to be ratified by 75% of the states. For when Congress has become unresponsive to the will of the people.

So how do we do it? Call/meet your state legislators Attend events Testify at hearings

Our progress 2 down 32 to go At least 8 other states have resolutions that are coming up for a vote Wolf PAC Arizona recently got a primary sponsor!!
