In a country controlled by elitist media, a Convention of States is more necessary than ever

Published in Blog on May 24, 2019 by Article V Patriot

There's no denying that the bulk of our nation's media is dead-set on maintaining the status quo in D.C.

The attacks against President Trump by mainstream outlets have been fierce and unrelenting since he took office three years ago. His attempts to "drain the swamp" and shrink the size of federal agencies have been met with staunch resistance both by the establishment in D.C. and by the journalists who serve them.

As evidence for the media's coordinated attacks, the Washington Free Beacon compiled this amazing (and hilarious) series of clips that show a variety of outlets reading from the same playbook.

No President or member of Congress can expect to change the status quo in this kind of environment. The forces inside the beltway marshaled against change are too entrenched to eradicate them from within.

That's why the solution to federal overreach and bureaucratic tyranny must come from outside D.C.

Rather than rely on the media or federal politicians, the Convention of States Project has become the gathering place for a different, more powerful force: the American grassroots.

With over three million supporters nationwide, the Convention of States movement has grown into our nation's best hope for reducing the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, forcing Congress to be fiscally responsible, and impose term limits on federal officials.

These American patriots are working to call the first-ever Article V Convention of States to propose constitutional amendments that can do what D.C. never will: limit Washington's power, once and for call.

The media can say whatever they want. The grassroots are rising, and CNN can't do anything to stop us.

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:
