[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2071533, member: 18914"] Well, you make a good point. My approach would be to try to have this one be asked for 2/3 of the States which forces Congress to have to convene a Constitutional Convention (never done since the first one at the beginning of the Republic) - and that approach itself might spur Congress by a 2/3 vote in each House to pass a resolution asking the States to decide on the matter to prevent a potentially wider reaching Constitutional Convention. I am assuming that the greatest traction for an argument for more State influence in the Federal system would be at the State level. BTW - interesting note - the President has no role in the Constitutional amendment process other than the "bully pulpit". So, I guess the direct answer is to try to interest people at the local level and, in turn, have State representatives start the push within their own State Houses and between/amongst the several States. i.e. a bottom-up movement.
