Grandpa sometimes experiences "McConnelling" episodes and he gets confused and has moments of forgetfulness. His family is concerned about his health, so they bring up a touchy subject: putting Grandpa in the U.S. Senate.
The family suggests Grandpa run for U.S. Senate. They mention that he doesn't have to serve the full term, but he will find people his own age to socialize with while getting the care and support he needs daily.
"You get confused. You forget where you are. You fall down. You need to go someplace where they can take care of you. Where people your age go. We think it's time for you to run for U.S. Senate," his family members suggest.
The Babylon Bee describes the unfortunate situation Grandpa is in: "It's something millions of Americans will wrestle with at some point in their lives. Parents and grandparents get older and eventually, the family has to make a tough call. Is grandpa safe to live on his own, or is it best if he's around people his own age in the United States Senate?"
Do you think Grandpa will get the best care while in the Senate? Likely so, which is all the more reason for Convention of States. While the elderly deserve good care, the American people don't deserve "McConnelling" elected officials. It's time we call an Article V convention.

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]
