Yes, I think Citizens United is the crux of the problem and why we are losing our democratic republic. However, the alternative to a Convention of States is the Congress presenting the amendment and most of them have been corrupted by the money allowed by Citizens United. It is like asking a fox to put a lock on the hen house.

True that. But to my knowledge there has been more push for a Congressional Convention from the right than the left. We are back to un-corrupting government a school board seat and a County Commissioner position at a time. Have to re-read the last third of David Pepper's book again ("Laboratories of Democracy"). And EVERYONE ON THIS SITE NEEDS TO FOLLOW CATHY'S LEAD: JOIN AND BE ACTIVE IN THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS!
