The odious Cenk Uygur, founder of Wolf PAC, and his “conservative” allies at Convention of States and Term Limits USA were handed a defeat last week in New Hampshire when the New Hampshire House tabled HCR 8-a resolution calling for an application for an Article V Convention by a 247-99 vote, and today February 20, Maine’s Senate voted 12-18 against the Motion to Accept Majority Ought to pass report on SP 705 which was a joint collaboration between Wolf PAC and Term Limits USA, and its lobbyist Ken Quinn.
The well-funded pro-Article V Convention lobbyists have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in both states over the past ten years to no avail. It appears that the more money they spend, the fewer votes they get. This is due to the hard work of local activists who take the time to educate their elected officials on this issue. However, we cannot rest on our laurels. We need to rescind all extant applications in both states. Thanks to all of those who helped make these victories for the U.S. Constitution possible.
Thanks to a friend in Maine who contacted me last night to let me know that lobbyist Ken Quinn was on a popular Maine radio show promoting an Article Convention, I immediately E-mailed the station and asked for some equal time. Within a few minutes Mr. Ric Tyler co-host of the George Hale-Ric Tyler Show on WVOM FM invited me to call in at 6:06 AM. Here is a link to the interview:
