If you live in one of these states keep a look out for a con con call in the future and if your state should ever propose it demand that your state legislators oppose it. States that have rescinded their con con call are;Alabama (1988), Florida (1988), and Louisiana (1990), Idaho (1999), Utah (2001), North Dakota (2001), Arizona (2003), Virginia (2004), South Carolina (2004), and Georgia (2004). If you live in one of these states you should also be on the look out for future con con calls. If you do not live in one of these states then your state has an active con con call for a balanced budget amendment and you should encourage and demand that your state legislators introduce and/or support legislation to repeal their states call for a constitution convention. You can use the write to congress on this page to find your representatives. To gain a better understanding of why a con con is a dangerous way to amend the constitution watch the 4 part video to the left. |
