Federal bureaucrats continue to funnel taxpayer money to nonprofit that that provided ‘material support’ to Iran, Hamas

Published in Blog on November 27, 2018 by Article V Patriot

If you need more proof the feds shouldn't be trusted with taxpayer dollars, check out this piece from the Washington Free Beacon:

The State Department's bureau of political-military affairs continues to direct tens of millions of dollars to a nonprofit that paid a $2 million-dollar fine and admitted to providing "material support" to Iran, Hamas, and other groups the U.S. considers terrorists or terrorist-linked.

The lucrative contracts for IED and other bomb removal continued despite the Trump administration's tougher policies on Iran and pledge to undertake a maximum diplomatic and financial pressure campaign against Iran and terrorist groups linked to it.

The Norwegian People's Aid, or NPA, an Oslo-based humanitarian non-profit strongly affiliated with labor unions, has at least a six-year history of working for the U.S. Agency for International Development and more recently for the State Department for demining and other bomb-removal efforts around the world.

In April, NPA settled a civil suit with the Justice Department, agreeing to pay a fine of $2 million for failing to disclose its work for the Iranian government and other U.S.-banned entities in a grant application for USAID work in Sudan.

It's time to close the purse strings of the American public. It's time to hold the federal government accountable for how it spends our hard-earned taxpayer dollars. It's time to call a Convention of States.

An Article V Convention of States can propose constitutional amendments that force the feds to cut back on spending in all sectors of government. These amendments can mandate a balanced budget along with spending limits and tax caps.

Together, this complete package of fiscal reform will shrink the federal budget, get our national debt under control, and limit the ability of bureaucrats to send our money where it should never go.

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:
