From Carolina Journal Radio Program No. 744: The N.C. House voted this year against the idea of North Carolina supporting a Convention of States to propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution. But representatives later revived the bill and sent it to a committee. One person who has lobbied N.C. lawmakers in favor of the convention is former U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina. DeMint is also the former president of the conservative Washington, D.C.-based Heritage Foundation. DeMint explains why he believes the Convention of States offers the best way to help restore limited, constitutional government.
