The pamphlet also provided pros and cons (four each) of holding such a convention. The question as to whether the citizens of Illinois want a constitutional convention will be on the November ballot (which you probably already know since you have the absentee ballot in hand). In 1988, the good people of Illinois responded by a 75/25 margin that a consititutional convention was *not* needed.

Also, the most recent amendments are mostly procedural tweaks (term limits, compensation, voting, etc), no real significant changes. I wouldn't mind an amendment that guarantees some sort of Right to Privacy. It's scary just how much internet companies can target you. But then I guess gmail couldn't be free, if they couldn't store enough data about me to bombard me with ads about Notre Dame Football... Telemarketers should be included too!
