Alaska Constitutional Convention Question: Voters will decide on a state constitutional convention

Alaska's Constitutional Convention Question asks voters about hosting a constitutional convention.

Supporters argue the convention could be an opportunity to include new rights into the constitution.

Opponents argue the convention would be too expensive and potential lead to drastic changes.

A "yes" on the Alaska Constitutional Convention Question would establish a state constitutional convention.

1. Require multi-digit IQ to become any state or federal level politician.
2. Create a border wall with Mexico.
3. Start the redesign of the Pipeline, it's melting the permafrost.

Seriously though, why?

Bwahahahaha!

And what else could they do?
And just what “new rights” do they have in mind? (I’ll bet you can guess the answer to that one.)

Madison feared a national constitutional convention because he saw what it could do and wanted no part of one.
