Save the Constitution by Rescinding Article V Convention Applications
“The essence of our concern and why Oklahoma defeated the Article V convention this year [was] that this would be a runaway convention.”
— Oklahoma State Representative Mike Ritze, May 12, 2015.
After a fierce and drawn-out battle in the Oklahoma state legislature last spring, legislators rejected an application for an Article V convention for proposing a Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA), as well as an application for an Article V convention to impose other restraints on the federal government.
Meanwhile, the Texas legislature was having its own fierce battle over several Article V convention applications. On May 12, 2015, three Oklahoma state legislators created a video to help persuade Texas legislators to defeat the Article V convention agenda in their state. The Texas legislature did go on to reject all Article V convention applications in its 2015 session.
