In the News: Fox News home page features Convention of States Nebraska victory!

Published in Blog on February 10, 2022 by Article V Patriot

Momentum for an Article V Convention of States is growing -- and national outlets are paying attention.

Fox News featured on its homepage yesterday a story about the victory in Nebraska and the larger Convention of States movement. 

Fox reporters interview one of our best legislative champions, Nebraska Sen. Steve Halloran, about his efforts to get the Convention of States Resolution passed in his state.

"It's become abundantly clear with the history of Congress that they have no sense of limiting their spending and the accrued debt that's happening upon our nation," Halloran said, calling the U.S.’s $30 trillion national debt "unsustainable." 

"We have effectively kicked that can down the road on repayment of any of that, but we cannot kick the can down the road every year," he continued.

Halloran said he believes the Founding Fathers would have supported term limits if they had the power of hindsight. He told Fox News that such issues are why they gave states the power amend the Constitution.

"We have career politicians now instead of citizen statesmen," he said. 

"We can't operate this country on fear, uncertainty and doubt," Halloran added.

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:
