Kathleen: The government isn't working for We the People

Kathleen O'Laughlin joined the Convention of States team in Michigan because she believes the federal government is fundamentally broken.

"I believe a Convention of States is the only thing that will put the power back to the states as originally intended in the Constitution," she said. "The federal government is out of control in their spending, they don't listen, to the people, they're trying to change history -- it's just not working well for We the People."

All across the country, patriots like Wendy are joining the Convention of States teams in their states to push back against the overreach, corruption, and abuse of the federal government. They're tired of voting in election after election with no permanent reforms in our nation's capital, and they've joined the Convention of States movement to band together and put power back where it belongs -- with the states and the people.

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:

info@conventionofstates.com or (540) 441-7227.

Thank you so much for your service to the people of our district.

Respectfully, [Your Name]
