Friends of the Article V Convention (FOAVC)

Hello. Welcome to Friends Of the Article V Convention (FOAVC). We are a non-partisan association of American citizens from every state in our Republic comprised of a broad range of occupations, ethnicities, religious affiliations and political persuasions. Our common bond is a deep commitment to preserving the values and principles embodied in our founding documents - the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution - upon which this nation was founded.
Article V of the Constitution of the United States provides that "on the application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States,
shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments..." The Founding Fathers of our nation recognized the importance of providing this means by which the citizens of our country could initiate amendments to change and/or clarify the Constitution, the fundamental document which they intended to be not only the blueprint for our federal system but also "the supreme Law of the Land".
