Article V Patriot
Like many Americans, Convention of States Wisconsin volunteer Doug Dorn wasn't always interested in politics. The father, husband, and veteran had more important things to think about.
But as he learned more about how the system in Washington operates, the less he liked what he saw.
"People say positive, bold statements to get elected, but once they get into Washington, nothing happens. Those promises go out the window," he told a Wisconsin legislative committee.
"I see representation in Washington for somebody... but it's not me. I see representation for a select, higher echelon people, but not the regular taxpayer like me. It's taxation without representation."
If you don't feel represented in Washington, there is hope! As Doug explains, a Convention of States can bring power closer to home and ensure that We the People have a real voice in politics.

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:

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]
