1787 – In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, delegates convene a Constitutional Convention to write a new Constitution for the United States. George Washington presides.
They met to "fix" the Articles of Confederation and we ended up with a new Constitution. Let that be a lesson to those twits calling for a new Constitutional Convention. It's a crap shoot. What we have has served us reasonably well for 222 years. The unintended consequences of a new Constitutional Convention scares the hell out of me.

To those who actually want to know the truth about this myth go to:http://www.nolanchart.com/article6449.html . You'll find that what this author says is pure baloney.
As to a convention, all 50 states have applied 750 times for a convention call. You can read the applications at www.foavc.org.
