Convention of States part of South Carolina's "pushback agenda"

Published in Blog on February 08, 2021 by Article V Patriot

President Biden hasn't even tried to hide his authoritarian streak during his first weeks in office. He's issued more than twice as many executive orders and memoranda during his first 16 days in office (36) than President Trump and Obama (17), and 18 times more than President W. Bush (2). 

But the states have started to mobilize, and South Carolina is leading the charge. Patriotic state legislators like longtime Convention of States supporter Rep. Bill Taylor have compiled a list of policies and legislation aimed at hampering Biden's authoritarianism. 

The Convention of States Resolution is an important part of that "pushback agenda," according to South Carolina's FITS News.

Also included in the “pushback agenda” is H. 3205 – an updated version of the Convention of States bill that made significant progress in the legislature a year ago.

Like last year’s proposed “COS” legislation, this bill would make an application to the U.S. Congress on behalf of the S.C. General Assembly to “call an amendment convention of the states pursuant to Article V” of the U.S. Constitution.

This convention would be “limited to proposing amendments to the United States Constitution that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress.”

According to Taylor, the Convention of States bill “is the lawful path to rein-in the federal government,” or “the needed rebellion without bullets.”

South Carolina isn't alone. Dozens of states are considering the Convention of States Resolution as a way to push back against overreach from Washington.

These campaigns are powered by people like you -- patriotic Americans worried about an all-powerful White House dictating policy for states from coast to coast.

Petition your state legislator

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:
