How a mock convention is helping fuel a movement to change the Constitution
[CenterForPublicIntegrity] State legislators are pushing bills in at least 27 states after scores attended an event paid by two activist groups.The mock convention in Virginia was the creation of two nonprofits operated out of the same office suite in Houston, Texas, run by the same man: Mark Meckler, co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots, an attorney and former Herbalife distributor. The two groups, Citizens for Self-Governance and Convention of States Action, paid at least $130,000 combined for 81 of those lawmakers to attend the trial run.
