Bob Bonnar and Alexis Barker

We’re going off the page with a timely conversation about one of the most talked-about constitutional issues in the country. In the wake of President Donald Trump publicly throwing his support behind a potential Article V Convention of States, we sit down with Julie Baker, a volunteer for the Convention of States movement here in Wyoming.

Baker’s group will be hosting a Town Hall in Sheridan on October 22, and she walks us through the nuts and bolts of what an Article V convention is, why it matters, and what it will take for Wyoming to become the 20th state to officially sign on to the effort. With 34 states needed to trigger a convention, the stakes are high—and Baker explains how grassroots advocates are working to get there.

Join Bob and Alexis as they dig into the national surge in support, the history behind Article V, and what this movement could mean for the size, scope, and power of the federal government.
