1. The Door-Opener
A: "Will this open the door to rewriting the Constitution?"
B: "No. It's been specifically designed not to."
2. The Soros
A: "Can't Congress, Soros, or other groups seize control?"
B: "If George Soros can control over 7,000 state legislators from six different political parties spread across 50 states, America would already be dead."
3. The 2A
A: "Will the First or Second Amendment be annulled?"
B: "If you can name 13 states that would be against that, then no."
4. The Rule-Follower
A: "Are there really no rules for an Article V convention?"
B: "There have been over 40 conventions to set precedence in America's history."
5. The Do-What-They-Want
A: "Doesn't Congress just ignore the Constitution?"
B: "They use loopholes, vague wording, and reliance on our complacency to get away with stuff. If they ignored it completely, no one in America would have a gun, and Roe v. Wade would still be in effect."
6. The Prophet of Doom
A: "Won't America collapse before we can use Article V?"
B: "To quote John Quincy Adams, 'Duty is ours. Results are God's."
7. The Numbers Guy
A: "You'll never convince enough people to support it!"
B: "75% of Americans support limiting Congress. They just don't know
about Article V. It's not a matter of convincing, it's a matter of spreading
the word!"
8. The Status Quo
A: "The best solution is to vote good people in!"
B: "The decisions are being made and enforced by people you don't
vote for."
9. The Live and Let Live
A: "Oh, I'm not that interested in politics."
B: "Just because you're not interested in politics doesn't mean politics
isn't interested in you. It's a lot easier for a crook to rob you if your back
is turned."
And finally...
10. The Troll
A: (A literal response a COS advocate once received online). "NOW EXPLAIN TO ALL OF US HOW AMENDING, BASICALLY REWRITING PARTS OF THE CONSTITUTION IS GOING TO SOLVE ANYTHING WHEN NOBODY FOLLOWS THE DAM CONSTITUTION, LAWS IN THE UNITED STATES ANYWAY.

THROW OUT THE DAM TYRANTS. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR WHEN WANTING RICH ASS HOLES TO HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO REWRITE OUR CONSTITUTION."
B: (The literal response given).
