If, as sheriff, your reluctance is because you believe a convention opens the Constitution to special interests, remember, the only thing that can change anything is the general will of the whole, and there is nothing any special-interest group can propose that will appeal to seven out of 10 Americans. A convention is merely the formal discussion of things Americans discuss informally every day.
Maybe you can't hear me now, maybe an epiphany later this year, but if I return to update sheriffs next year I hope I can garner enough respect so as to not have security set upon me. Make no mistake, if put to a vote, I'd vote the hard line. Members of the 115th Congress are not above the law and history says there are consequences if no action is taken. You happen to be the latest holder of your office. The oath doesn't come with an instruction manual. There has to be something the WSSA can do in this situation.
Sincerely,
