John, what if you woke up tomorrow morning and learned that, overnight, politicians had written a brand-new Constitution that revoked the First Amendment, slashed environmental protections, and rolled back civil rights?

What if instead, they had permanently cemented MAGA ideology into our founding document?

Well, John, a shadowy coalition of well-funded right-wing groups have been working behind the scenes for years to make that nightmare scenario a reality.

And right now, they’re just six states away from getting their way – and permanently unwinding our way of life.

It’s called Article V – and it’s the biggest threat to our constitutional rights that millions of Americans still haven’t heard of.

Trump’s open defiance of our Constitution’s most sacred rights – free speech, due process, equal protection before the law – is bad now. But things would get a whole lot worse if he actually gets a chance to REWRITE the whole thing.

That’s no conspiracy theory – it’s exactly what the groups behind Article V - like the Koch network - are promising their donors: a fully Trumpified U.S. Constitution, where his extreme, cruel actions like kidnapping our neighbors and silencing his political opponents become perfectly constitutional – while your right to speak or worship as you please are no longer guaranteed.

And now – emboldened by Trump’s first six months in office – the Article V network is identifying and building its power in the six remaining states they’d need to permanently lock in minority rule.

This is a threat that no organization – besides Common Cause – is addressing with the seriousness it deserves.

Our team blew the whistle on Article V years ago – and since then, our state-based strategy has delivered win after win… stopping new convention calls while rolling back the ones already on the books.

And with your help, we’ve stopped dozens of new calls for a convention each year across the country. And we're playing offense too! We’ve successfully rescinded existing convention calls in New Jersey, Illinois, Colorado, New Hampshire, Delaware, New Mexico, Maryland, and Oregon – meaning that if Common Cause hadn’t acted, we’d be just one or two states from going off the Article V cliff.

We’re preparing to urgently ramp up our state-by-state organizing strategy to STOP this far-right power grab – in any state it rears its ugly head. But we can’t continue this fight without you, John.

Can I count on you to chip in $5 or more and stop extremists from gutting our Constitutional rights?
