Does anyone see the danger if the Constitution is "opened" by a con con. A couple of years this narrowly averted in Ohio, as I recall. This post will probably be closed for being a drive-by, but the threat is real, so I'll just call it a heads up for members in Indiana. For those that don't know, a constitutional convention opens the whole Constitution and anything can happen.
It looks like the stated intent is good, and I agree with that intent, but the outcome could be a disaster!

From the article:
NDIANAPOLIS | Frustrated by what they perceive as federal government overreach on taxes and regulation, the Republican-controlled Indiana Senate on Tuesday approved three measures calling for a limited U.S. constitutional convention.
Article V of the U.S. Constitution requires Congress call a constitutional convention when two-thirds of state legislatures request one. Senate Joint Resolution 18, which now goes to the House, formalizes Indiana's request.
