Reply #14: It is all about managing risk

[status quo buster]

The risk of having the first Article V convention is minimal because whatever proposed amendments come out of the convention must still be ratified by 3/4 of the states, a very tough hurdle to overcome. The far greater risk is to stick with the current political and government system that clearly is dysfunctional, corrupt and inefficient because it is run by a two-party plutocracy or oligarchy that no longer serves the interest of most Americans. In days an historic conference at Harvard Law School will work at settling views on exactly how a convention can be created and operated. Pay attention.
