Balanced Budget Amendment Task Force

The Balanced Budget Amendment Task Force is a conservative Florida-based lobbying organization supporting a balanced-budget amendment to the United States Constitution.

The group advocates an Article V convention to include such an amendment. An Article V convention is convened at the request of two-thirds of the states. Twenty-seven have made the request. Thirty-four are needed and then thirty-eight states would be needed for ratification of any proposed amendments.
