Dear Senator /
Representative [insert name here],
What is your position on Article V of the Constitution?
Do you think Congress and the Supreme Court have the right to veto and ignore
the states' and the peoples' right to an
Article V Convention? Already, the
legislatures of ALL 50 states have made
567 requests on things ranging from
Term-Limits, Balanced-Budget-Amendment, to Tax Reform.
Please let me know.
Also, could you please provide copies, or where I can find the original copies
of the 567 requests (see summary below).
Thank you,
[Your Name]

STATES |
||
(1) In 1911, there were 46 states in the Union. Two-thirds of 46 is 30.67. Under the terms of Article V, the two-thirds required threshold was reached with the application of Maine which became the thirty-first state to apply for a convention to propose amendments.
(2) In 1911, Ohio became the thirty-second state to apply for a convention to propose amendments. Two-thirds of 48 is 31.99. This means the two-thirds threshold for 48 states had been met even before two states, New Mexico and Arizona, were admitted to the Union the following year in 1912.
(3) In 1916, the number of applying states reached 34 with the application of South Carolina. This number satisfied the two-thirds requirement for 50 states even though it would be 43 years before Alaska and Hawaii joined the Union. Since 1916, the number of applying states has continued to increase until, in 1982 with the application of Alaska, every state in the Union had applied at least once for a convention to propose amendments.
