Lt. Col. Allen West: Convention of States Project "incredible organization"

Lt. Col. Allen B. West was honored last week by the Mississippi State Senate, and he took some time this week to reflect on his experience at the state capital.

I had a fantastic day in Jackson, MS, with conservative grassroots members of the Convention of States movement. I finally got the opportunity to meet and spend time with Mark Meckler who has built an incredible organization. But I was thoroughly impressed with the dedication of the volunteers who believe in the Article V principle of our Founding Fathers as enshrined in the US Constitution.

Think about it, a black kid, born in 1961, raised in Atlanta, GA, earned the opportunity to be recognized by the Mississippi State Senate, deliver the opening prayer and Pledge of Allegiance for the Mississippi State House, and gave a speech in the second-floor rotunda of the Mississippi State Capitol. To top it all off, I was presented a copy of the Mississippi House of Representatives Resolution Number 45.

We're honored to have such a dedicated, principled patriot as an official endorser of the Convention of States Project, and you can read Col. West's full article here.

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: https://conventionofstates.com/handbook_pdf

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]
