FEDERAL OVERREACH
![]()

-
NATIONAL DEBT

34 Trillion in National debt and no sign of stopping. Congress is clearly in need of an intervention.

The average tenure of members of Congress keeps going up, but their approval rating doesn't.

An Article V Convention is a convention called by the state legislatures for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution. This power is granted to them under Article V of the Constitution. It is not a constitutional convention and cannot throw out the Constitution. An amending convention can only propose amendments that fit within the topic of the applications adopted by the state legislatures.
Why Call an Article V Convention?
Washington, D.C. will never voluntarily relinquish power, no matter who is elected. It is time for American citizens to take a stand against tyranny and make a legitimate coordinated nationwide effort to curb the power of the federal government. Only a Convention of States has the constitutional power to repair the damage and halt the federal government from further eroding the liberties of the sovereign citizens. Please watch the below video to learn more about our movement.
Article V of the Constitution of the United States
“The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.”
YES! A modern-day Article V Convention can't throw out the Bill of Rights or draft a whole new Constitution. Take a few minutes to look through the numerous protections in place to ensure that a convention stays within its bounds. 
19 States have officially called for an Article V Convention to propose amendments that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, term limits on federal officials, and reduce the size and scope of the federal government. 34 states are required. Will Michigan be next?
