SEE: David Horowitz: Why Conservatives Need to Amend the Constitution Now
Mr. Horowitz begins his article by writing:
âWhat do the John Birch Society, Eagle Forum, Common Cause and Planned Parenthood have in common? They all oppose the statesâ use of Article V of our Constitution to impose and enforce constitutional limits on Washington.â Mr. Horowitz goes on to write: âWhile it is no surprise that Marxist-leaning groups would fight, tooth and nail, to resist any plan for breaking the federal governmentâs virtual monopoly on policy-making, all conservatives agree that this monopoly is a perversion of our federal system. But, sadly, the Leftâs propaganda and junk history have brainwashed some conservatives into opposing the statesâ use of constitutional power to check federal overreach.â
Indeed, in Mr. Horowitzâs view, that conservatives who oppose the call for a convention under Article V have been âbrainwashedâ by, âthe Leftâs propaganda and junk historyâ, is absurd and disingenuous to say the least. In fact, conservatives who oppose the call base their reasoning on historical facts and unanswered questions which Mr. Horowitz should address rather than insulting these patriotic Americans and portray the opponents of an Article V convention as sympathizing with âMarxist-leaning groupsâ and âthe radical Leftâ.
Hey, Mr. Horowitz, how about addressing a few of the unanswered questions and dangers of calling a âconvention of statesâ, which I might add is found nowhere in the text of the Constitution? The Constitution merely declares that Congress shall âcall a Convention for proposing Amendmentsâ if the required number of State Legislatures make application.
In the meantime Mr. Horowitz, let me suggest you study Here Be Dragons: Dangers Of A Constitutional Convention and then address the dangers and unanswered questions instead of adolescent name calling.

âThe deception of the appeal for a "convention of states" lies first of all in the name of the project. If you open your pocket Constitution, it's easy to see that the convention authorized by Article V would not be a "convention of states" in any sense of the word.â __ Phyllis Schlafly, 5/24/2016
