To: Karen Haas, Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives and Rep. Bob Goodlatte, U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee Chairman

Congress: Call an Article V Convention to propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

Call an Article V convention to propose amendments to the Constitution. The requirement has been met.

Why is this important?

Congress is required, under Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution, to call a convention of delegates from each state, to propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution, once applications for an Article 5 convention have been received from two thirds of the states (now 34 states).
To date, over 700 applications for an Article 5 convention have been submitted to Congress, from 49 states. All of these applications are a matter of public record in the Congressional Record. Following a lawsuit, Congress has recently started counting and officially tallying the applications, but the count has been stalled at 14 of the most recent applications.
Demand that House Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Bob Goodlatte, and House Clerk Karen Haas count and publish all 766 applications submitted to date from 49 states; and call an Article V convention as Congress is REQUIRED TO DO BY LAW under the U.S. Constitution as the requirement under Article V, applications from 34 states, has been met many times over.
