Forum Post: Article V Convention

I know this idea has been offered up, but I'd like to bring it up again with the hope it takes hold. All citizens participating in OccupyWallSt, and all the other cities--what we all want is to exercise our ultimate right as Americans--to alter and abolish the corporate status quo. The Article V Convention does just that because it's a three-part national discussion (electing delegates, the actual deliberative assembly, ratification process) which stops politics as usual dead in its tracks. Corporate power has done everything it can to prevent a convention for many decades now. If corporate power does not want a convention, isn't that what we show be focusing on? All we would need to do is begin growing a list of Occupy cities who favor a convention. http://www.foavc.org is a site with lots of info. http://www.conconcon.org is a site about a conference at Harvard last month where over four hundred folks from across the political spectrum attended. It's going to take both the left and the right advocating for the Article V Convention--where we can find our common ground. Do you think corporate America wants the 99% finding their common ground?
