Article V Patriot
Most Americans agree that the federal government is too big, too powerful, and too corrupt.
But not everyone knows what to do about it. Some believe that voting for the "right people" will rein in federal power, so they volunteer for elections and campaigns.
Others understand that we've tried voting for the "right people," and it hasn't worked. Washington has simply grown larger, more powerful, and more corrupt.
Fortunately, the Founders gave us a way to fix Washington that doesn't rely on the good will of our "leaders" in D.C. An Article V Convention of States gives We the People the power to propose constitutional amendments that limit federal power, impose term limits on federal officials, mandate fiscally responsibility in Congress.
As TheBlaze radio host Glenn Beck said on a recent eiposide of his show, a Convention of States can "actually change things."
"We can beat it, but we're running out of time. A Convention of States is the best thing we could do," he said. "Go to ConventionofStates.com. You should get very active in that."
"The Founders gave us Article V, and they said that when things get so out of hand and Washington will not respond, then the people have to gather in their own states."

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]
