Resurrecting Madison

Articles: Madison Revived: "The basic legislative strategy of the Madison Coalition is simple but not easy.  The Coalition needed to find a practical and workable way for the states to call a constitutional convention and endorse the Madison amendment and at the same time put safeguards in place that would prevent the delegates from going rogue.  The solution to this is straightforward.  The key is to persuade a sufficient number of the state legislatures to pass carefully crafted "Madison laws" restricting their delegates to a constitutional convention to approve the Madison Amendment and that amendment only.  And since those delegates will constitute a mathematical majority of the delegates, it will be mathematically impossible for rogue amendments to be passed."

This seems worthy of support. I suspect that the real issue is whether there are enough blue states to block this new mechanism from being either adopted or used successfully to roll back FedGov once it is in place. Unfortunately I suspect that's the case...
