I hope you are right, but if you follow the links he provides in the comment section
http://doctorbulldog.wordpress.com/2008/12/11/urgent-urgent-constitutional-convention-secretly-being-railroaded-through/#comment-61392

&lt;em&quot;The last state to apply was Missouri in 1983 and since then, legislators in three states (Alabama, Florida and Louisiana), having realized the dangers of this action rescinded their call.

However, it is argued that the rescinded calls are not valid as the Constitution does NOT allow for rescinding a Con-Con call. So, Alabama, Florida, and Louisiana are STILL considered to be in play…
&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

So, if he&#039;s right, there apparently is no &quot;stature of limitations&quot; nor is there a right to rescind.  If you are right, and I hope you are, then I&#039;ll feel a lot better.  I would like nothing better than to be mistaken about this.</description>

		<description>From your link, Yonanson:

&quot;Thirty-two (32) other states have already called for a Con Con (allegedly to add a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution). 34 states are all that is required, and then Congress MUST convene a Convention.&quot;

This is some kind of crackpot scare-mongering. 

32 states were calling for the &quot;balanced budget amendment&quot; back in 1988, which is twenty years ago:


&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ronald Reagan: Address Before a Joint Session of Congress on the State of the Union &lt;/strong&gt;

There is another vital reform. Yes, Gramm-Rudman-Hollings has been profoundly helpful, but let us take its goal of a balanced budget and make it permanent. &lt;strong&gt;Let us do now what so many States do to hold down spending and what 32 State legislatures have asked us to do&lt;/strong&gt;. Let us heed the wishes of an overwhelming plurality of Americans and pass a constitutional amendment that mandates a balanced budget and forces the Federal Government to live within its means.

		<description>&quot;the digital transition&quot;

The transition has been going on since Don Ritter was in the House.

Pay attention, next February the old tv signal goes away.  If you don&#039;t have the proper television or a cable box you need a new tv or a convertor box.

Are we going to turn this into another Y2K?

&quot;Washington representatives for Fox&quot;

They had to get Fox in there.</description>

By Ira Teinowitz

After Barack Obama ran for president promising change and openness, and making a point of refusing to accept lobbyists’ contributions, the president-elect’s transition team secretly held a meeting with broadcasting lobbyists to discuss the digital TV changeover.

The unannounced meeting was held Friday in Washington. Among those present were National Association of Broadcasters president David Rehr, National Cable &amp; Telecommunications Association president Kyle McSlarrow and Washington representatives for Fox and ABC, among others...
