As the Convention of States movement marches forward, sending their paid staff into state legislatures around the country, many citizens have spent countless unpaid hours researching and writing on the many concerns. Although quickly dismissed by those promoting a "Con Con", it is imperative to read through these resources and become truly informed.
Thank you to Mike Hazard for his excellent work in putting this resource list together.
