There is something called the Convention of States that might wrest control from Washington, DC. Tennessee signed on to it many years ago.

Would like to know more about this. Don't know much about Tennessesse politics but the recent attempt of Republicans to keep certain candidates off the ballot has got my attention.

In 2016, Tennessee was the 5th state to sign on to the Convention of States. I honestly know almost nothing about it. I first heard it mentioned last year at a Town Hall meeting held by Diana Harshbarger. I occasionally get text messages from the Organization, encouraging me to "get involved"; but since I have virtually no contacts outside my home and since Tennessee has already approved it, I never go to meetings. Here's a link to their website:

Mark Levin is for a convention of the states. I am not so sure. These things can have a way of backfiring.

I read briefly and it seems one or more of them moved to Tennessee within the last year or two. A whole lot of Republicans who have worn out their shoe leather over many campaigns are tired of carpetbaggers. If anyone knows more please post it.

Everyone has high hopes for this but why do they think it will be controlled exclusively by conservatives?
