Con Con Vote THIS WEEK
Recently, the Wyoming House passed a resolution calling for a dangerous Article V Convention (HJ0004), and the bill is currently in the Senate Rules Committee.
In fact, Senator Phil Nicholas stated that several different Article V Convention bills are scheduled to be heard in the committee, and every one of them will put our Constitution at risk.
It’s critical you contact all members of the Senate Rules Committee RIGHT AWAY and tell them to vote no on HJ0004 or any other bill that calls for an Article V Convention!
Chairman Phil Nicholas: 307-742-7140
Eli Bebout: 307-856-0375
Bernadine Craft: 307-777-7711
Drew Perkins: 307-777-7711
Chris Rothfuss: 307-399-3556
If these bills pass the committee, they could move quickly to the floor, so once you’ve called the committee members, please contact your own state senator as well.

Demand they vote “NO” on these dangerous bills.
Some in Wyoming think calling a constitutional convention will help create new “limits” on the federal government.
But the truth is, our Constitution could be shredded if this or any other bill calling for a dangerous Article V Constitutional Convention are passed in Wyoming.
Ohio Governor John Kasich recently came to Wyoming to con the legislature into passing Medicaid expansion and the risky convention call.
John Kasich says he wants a constitutional convention to balance the federal budget, yet he’s also crossing the country trying to coerce the states into increasing federal spending!
Just how does John Kasich plan to balance the federal budget by increasing spending on an outrageously expensive program?
His rhetoric is wildly deceptive.
The federal government has been ignoring the limits placed on it by the Constitution for years.
Some Article V Convention supporters think a constitutional convention can be limited to certain types or categories of changes.
And many people believe that HJ0004 is limiting a convention to one issue. But that simply is not true. Most scholars agree that a constitutional convention cannot be limited.
And that’s just one reason why Wyoming Campaign for Liberty opposes an Article V Constitutional Convention.
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 organizations calling 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?
Do you trust the progressive states, such as California, New York, and Illinois, to fall in line with what Wyoming wants?
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 have submitted 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.
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.
It’s critical you contact all members of the Senate Rules Committee RIGHT AWAY and tell them to vote no on HJ0004 or any other bill that calls for an Article V Convention.
Chairman Phil Nicholas: 307-742-7140
Eli Bebout: 307-856-0375
Bernadine Craft: 307-777-7711
Drew Perkins: 307-777-7711
Chris Rothfuss: 307-399-3556
Then call or email your Wyoming Senator today and tell him or her not to cave into the pressure. Tell them to stand strong and vote NO on any bill calling for a dangerous Article V Convention.
