Constitutional Convention Campaign Finance

Rhode Island is considering calling a Constitutional convention, a procedure in the United States Constitution, but never exercised. Their concern is campaign finance.

There is a question of whether such a convention would only consider that issue or any or everything. The Rhode Island Resolution said they should only consider amendments referenced by forty percent of the states. Two thirds of the states are needed.

  1. Americans have a constitutional right to have an Article V convention that the Founders put in OUR Constitution because they anticipated the day when citizens would lose trust and confidence in the federal government. Learn all the facts at foavc.org and join our effort to make Congress obey the Constitution and give us the first convention.
