I started off initially skeptical of an Article V convention…but the more I studied it and the more I looked at the brilliance of the Founding Fathers and the safety net they put in place for an Article V convention…I came to the conclusion: this is the answer. I tell people now, without a Convention of States I don’t believe we save the Republic. I think it’s that important. It’s the tool and the only way to reset the table and put the authority, jurisdiction, and power back into the proper hands. Show more >

• The greatest weakness displayed in defending our foundations by those of us who cherish them, is our failure to leverage the power we have to stop the assault on our institutions and values. Convention of States is your chance to prevent the federal government from extruding its powers into areas which it was never designed to do. This is your opportunity to leverage your power in defense of the constitutional system and the nation it created.

• I join Mike Farris and Mark Levin in support of a convention of the states under Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution. Some constitutional changes must be made. Nothing less will remove the danger that a future, solidly leftist Supreme Court would “interpret” the Constitution to eliminate the separation of powers and checks and balances in government. The great American experiment with limited government would be over. Probably things would have to get worse than they now are for public support...

It’s wise to make ready now for when that time comes. Show more >

• Many great civilizations failed when government became too large, spending grew and debt ballooned—causing economies to collapse, and liberty to erode. Liberty demands vigilance; we must work to preserve it. I support the Convention of States Project’s mission to use Article V to put limits on federal power for both us and for generations to come. If we fail as a nation it will be because we failed to address the problems facing us.

• The process of having a national conversation about the constitutional promises of liberty, individual rights, and due process is vitally needed. An Article V Amendments Convention to fortify vital constitutional safeguards against an aggressively expanding federal government is exactly what this country needs in order to preserve and protect freedom.

The process of having a national conversation about the constitutional promises of liberty, individual rights, and due process is vitally needed. An Article V Amendments Convention to fortify vital constitutional safeguards against an aggressively expanding federal government is exactly what this country needs in order to preserve and protect freedom. The historic movement toward a Convention of States puts Congress and Executive offices on notice that the American people are serious and will insist upon fidelity to constitutional principles. Historians write that just the state activity to organize a Convention of States may have as much force on federal government overreach as the convention itself. Show more >

• The Founders left us a tool to rein in our federal government and we’re proud that Mississippi took the wise and bold action to use it. Unsustainable spending, elected representatives who defer to the administrative state rather than make hard decisions, and politicians who spend most of their time raising campaign funds or arranging cozy crony nests are the compelling reasons why our organization got behind your efforts.
