THE EMAIL FROM CAMPAIGN FOR LIBERTY
Dear Dr. Mark,
Last week, I told you about multiple bills calling for a dangerous Article V Convention
filed in Missouri.
Many of the bills were heard in House and Senate Committees last week.
Tomorrow, March
10, another bill - SB 433 - is scheduled for a hearing in the Senate
Joint Rules, Resolutions, and Ethics Committee.
And a vote on ALL of the Article V Convention bills could come as early as tomorrow.
Your action is urgently needed to stop HCR 14, HCR 19, HB 376, SCR 24, SCR 23,
SCR 19, SCR 21, and SB 433 before they go to the full House and Senate.
Every one of these bills put our Constitution at extreme risk.
It's critical you contact House Emerging Issues Committee Chair Elijah Haahr
at 573-751-2210 and Senate Joint
Rules, Resolutions, and Ethics Committee Chair Ron Richard at 573-751-2173 RIGHT AWAY.
Demand they actively oppose and vote "NO" on every one of these dangerous
bills.
Then, please contact the other committee members and tell them to vote "NO" as
well.

Members here.

Resolutions, and Ethics Committee.
Some people think calling a constitutional convention will help create new
"limits" on the federal government.
But the truth is, our Constitution could be shredded if any bill calling for a
dangerous Article V Constitutional Convention passes in Missouri.
The federal government has been ignoring the limits placed on it by the
Constitution for years.
When politicians ignore the Constitution with impunity, passing another
amendment isn't going to change that.
Some Article V Convention supporters think a constitutional convention can be
limited to certain types or categories of changes.
And many people believe that the bills listed above are limiting a convention
to specific issues. But that simply is not true. Most scholars agree that a
constitutional convention cannot be limited.
And that's just one reason why Missouri Campaign for Liberty opposes an Article
V Constitutional Convention.
It's vitally important you contact House Emerging Issues Committee Chair
Elijah Haahr at 573-751-2210 and
Senate Joint Rules, Resolutions, and Ethics Committee Chair Ron Richard at 573-751-2173 RIGHT NOW.
Demand they actively oppose and vote "NO" on every one of these dangerous
bills.
Then, please contact the other committee members and tell them to vote "NO" as
well.

Members here.

Resolutions, and Ethics Committee.
One group supporting a convention points out on its own website that if a
convention is called. . .
. . ."the convention of states itself would determine which ideas deserve
serious consideration. . ."
And what they fail to point out is that literally hundreds of progressive
organizations, such as Sierra Club, Code Pink, Alliance for Progressive Values,
MoveOn, and "Occupy," have been pushing for a convention since 2009!
Do you trust the hundreds of progressive organizationscalling 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 and his
ilk, to do the right thing?
Dr. Mark, there is no way a convention can be limited.
Article V of the Constitution only allows states to apply to Congress for a
convention to amend the Constitution.
Once the required number of states submit their applications, Congress must
"call" the convention.
Article V does not empower the states to have any control over the convention
itself.
You would have NO control over the rules of the convention or who attends to
represent you.
So please contact House Emerging Issues Committee Chair Elijah Haahr at 573-751-2210 and Senate Joint Rules,
Resolutions, and Ethics Committee Chair Ron Richard at 573-751-2173 immediately.
Demand they actively oppose and vote "NO" on every one of these dangerous
bills.
Then, please contact the other committee members and tell them to vote "NO" as
well.

Do you remember how Establishment Republicans treated the liberty delegates at
the 2012 GOP conventions?
Imagine what will happen at a convention being held to manipulate the U.S.
Constitution, with BOTH Republican and Democrat Establishment and hundreds of
progressive, George Soros-types pulling the strings.
A convention is extremely dangerous - especially today!
These bills must be stopped.
In Liberty,
Deb Wells
Missouri Campaign for Liberty
P.S. If an Article V Convention were called, it would likely be impossible to
stop devastating changes from being made to our Constitution. According to
America's history of conventions, the delegates chosen could wield unlimited
power to propose revisions to our Constitution.
It's critical you contact House Emerging Issues Committee Chair Elijah Haahr at 573-751-2210 and Senate Joint Rules,
Resolutions, and Ethics Committee Chair Ron Richard at 573-751-2173 RIGHT AWAY.
