Convention of States Action
It's been said so often recently that it's almost conventional wisdom: America is at a crossroads.
Well, the governor of the state whose motto is The Crossroads of America has made a bold statement about the direction that our country should take: Mike Braun has officially endorsed Convention of States.
“We need a balanced budget amendment and term limits to fix the broken system in D.C.,” said Governor Braun, “and an Article V convention of states is the constitutional solution when Congress ignores the will of the people; as Senator I was the loudest voice for a Convention of States and as governor I fully endorse what Convention of States Action is doing to get us there."
"Governors are the tip of the spear in the fight against federal government overreach," said Convention of States Action president and co-founder Mark Meckler, "and we are proud to have Gov. Braun’s endorsement.
Governor Braun has been a true and loyal supporter of Convention of States for quite some time not only in Indianapolis, but in Washington, D.C., when he represented Hoosiers in the United States Senate. During a floor speech in 2022, he decried the fiscal dysfunction in Congress and delivered bold remarks about the necessity of an Article V convention.
With bold leadership like his, we can all meet the crossroads with confidence and a belief in self-government that will lead to liberty and a constitutional republic that operates as the Founders intended.

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:

Thank you so much for your service to the people of our district.
Respectfully, [Your Name]
