Convention of States: Good or Bad?

[SunsetBengal]

Sure, I'd like to see an Article V convention take place. Why? I think an Amendment instituting a 12 year lifetime limit on eligibility to hold a seat in Congress would be a great thing. Would also like see such an Amendment include items like doing away with the lifetime salary and benefits, as well as a provision making it illegal for congress to exclude themselves from any law or regulation that an otherwise common citizen would be subject to.

You want a more productive, more cooperative, accurate representation of the American public in office? Do away with the career politicians.

Edit: While were at it, a complete overhaul of campaign finance policy wouldn't be a bad idea, either. As well as getting rid of line items and addendums to aid bills. Completely ridding of professional lobbyists (or at least their ability to use money to sway policy) I got more, but that's enough to get started with.
