Dear Elon,
You’ve spent your career eliminating inefficiency, challenging outdated systems, and proving that innovation can do what bureaucracies never could. Now, as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), you have the perfect platform to back the one solution that can permanently shrink government—an Article V convention of states.
Washington, D.C., will never fix itself. Politicians talk about cutting spending and limiting power, but they never follow through. Article V is the constitutional mechanism that allows We the People to bypass Congress and impose fiscal restraints, limit federal overreach, and establish term limits with constitutional amendments that can’t be overturned with an executive order when the next administration takes office. That makes this a historic effort to reduce the size and scope of the federal government — permanently.
Your endorsement of this effort could be a game-changer. Millions of Americans are already rallying behind this movement, including other leaders like J.D. Vance, Pete Hegseth, Vivek Ramaswamy, and many more. Nineteen of the required 34 states have already passed applications calling for the convention.
As support for decentralization of power continues to grow, this is our moment to make a lasting impact. This is the way to truly rein in government overreach. Will you stand with us and make history?
Sincerely,
