Are your state legislators ready to be part of the solution to unchecked federal overreach? (See our list below to find out!)
The Ohio General Assembly has the power, under Article V of the Constitution, to join with her sister states at a convention to propose constitutional amendments that would:
- limit federal spending
- set term limits for Congress, bureaucrats, and
- place additional limits on federal power.
Nearly 2/3s of American voters--across party lines--support this effort. Recent polling by The Trafalgar Group, one of the most accurate polling organizations in the nation, indicates that 81.3% of Republicans, 63.3% of Independents, and 50.2% of Democrats, support measures calling for a Convention of the States to propose constitutional amendments that would impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and set term limits for federal bureaucrats.
The measure is pending in the Ohio House and Senate right now--HJR 1 and SJR 4. Where do your state legislators stand? We need to thank and encourage the ones who have committed to vote "YES" and pin down the ones who have not yet committed.
