Article V Patriot
Becky is like many Americans these days. The patriot and West Virginia resident is deeply concerned about the direction our country is headed, and she spoke on the floor of the state legislature to voice her concerns.
"Anyone who watches the news has to be shaking their heads and thinking, what is our government doing? I am afraid of the assault on our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our freedom of religion, free speech, the right to bear arms," she said. "I'm watching a government and a country that I love falling down. There is no unity, no honesty, no integrity, no love for the ideals on which this country was founded."
But unlike many Americans, including those groups opposing the Article V solution, Becky isn't willing to sit on the sidelines while her country crumbles. She's joined the Convention of States movement because she knows that only a Convention of States can solve the root of our country's problems.
"How long will we sit on our hands and twiddle our thumbs? We need to act now to have a Convention of States because this is the last legal way that we can control our government," she said.

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:

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:
info@conventionofstates.com or (540) 441-7227.
Thank you so much for your service to the people of our district.
Respectfully, [Your Name]
