From Publius Huldah:
North Carolina is among the sneakiest states—their favorite trick is letting bills stay in committee until any controversy subsides, and then suddenly bringing them to a committee or floor vote without notice–sometimes in the middle of the night!
North Carolina’s Term Limits (TL) application asking Congress to call an Article V convention (A5C) passed the House on March 17 and was immediately sent to the Rules and Operations of the Senate Committee. (NC’s remaining application in the House will be on the next blast).
Here is the A5C application in the North Carolina Senate: H172 (Term Limits): Pending in the Senate Rules & Operations Committee since March 17.
We suggest you make your letters short. If House members are interested in researching further, refer them to an attachment or link for an article, flyer, video, etc. They may be more apt to read them.
“ The Article V Convention Lobby Unmasks Itself” flyer shows that the proponents of an A5C don’t believe their own narrative—that 34 states must pass applications with the same or similar language to trigger a convention; and that the convention can’t veer from the subject of the applications. Now they are admitting Congress can aggregate the different applications! New Flyer!!
The ” Phony Polls” Flyer (attached) describes the phony Polls used by the convention lobby to sway Legislators. Polls use trick questions, focusing on the irrelevant subject of the application (i.e. term limits) rather than the dangers of a convention, which few are aware of. USTL and other groups consistently brag about the huge percent of voters they represent, according to polls.
If legislators don’t hear from us on the A5C issue, they remain uneducated and go along with the special interests. Let’s go get ’em! First, please leave a short phone message for these 3 Senate Leaders, and ask them NOT to bring up H172 (Term Limits/Art. 5 convention) in committee or on the floor (see below):
| Senator | Title | Phone | Don’t bring H172 in Committee (or on the Floor) |
| Sen. Bill Rabon | Rules Comm. Chair | (919) 733-5963 | in Committee |
| Sen. Kathy Harrington | Majority Leader | (919) 733-5734 | on the Floor |
| Sen. Phil Berger | President Pro Tem | (919) 733-5708 | on the Floor |
Now please write all 50 members of the North Carolina Senate, and ask them to VOTE “No” onH 172 and any other applications asking Congress to call an Article V convention:
Copy the addresses below as a blockinto “BCC,”and copy your own address into the “To” box; andplace thebill # and description (i.e. Art. V convention) on the subject line.Senate Republicans (28) – Dear Senator: (If you’re a Republican or conservative, tell the Republicans so!)
