Poll: Americans are abandoning both parties in record numbers

Published in Blog on January 16, 2019 by Article V Patriot

A recent poll from Gallup shows that Americans have had enough of our country's top two political parties.

According to the survey, significantly more U.S. adults continued to identify as political independents (42%) in 2018 than as either Democrats (30%) or Republicans (26%). At least four in 10 Americans have been political independents in seven of the past eight years, including a record-high 43% in 2014.

Both Democrats and Republicans have betrayed the trust of the American people. Under both parties, the national debt has skyrocketed, federal overreach has continued to expand, and career politicians have gotten in bed with lobbyists and special interest groups.

But there is hope. If Americans can't find the solutions to our problems in the two big political parties, they'll start to look elsewhere -- like in Article V of the Constitution. 

Since the Convention of States Project's founding in 2013, over 4.1 million Americans have voiced their support for our mission to limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government.

We have volunteer teams in all 50 states, and we've secured endorsements from some of the most influential men and women in the nation. 

We've seen such growth because Americans are realizing that neither party can be trusted with the future of our country.

Fortunately, the Founders gave the people and the states the authority to propose constitutional amendments at a Convention of States. These amendments can fix our broken system in DC by mandating term limits, imposing fiscal restraints, and limiting the power of the federal government.

A Convention of States is the best non-partisan solution because it doesn't rely on either party for success. It only relies on the ingenuity, resilience, and self-governance of the American people.

Petition your state legislator

Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and businesses is a recipe for disaster.

What is less known is that the Founders gave state legislatures the power to act as a final check on abuses of power by Washington, DC. Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention to proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. This process does not require the consent of the federal government in Washington DC.

I support Convention of States; a national movement to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.

I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution calling for this kind of an Article V convention. You can find a copy of the model resolution and the Article V Pocket Guide (which explains the process and answers many questions) here: https://conventionofstates.com/handbook_pdf

I ask that you support Convention of States and consider becoming a co-sponsor. Please respond to my request by informing the national COS team of your position, or sending them any questions you may have:
