Mark Levin: Democratic debates reveal utopian-statist shredding of Constitution

Published in Blog on August 06, 2019 by Article V Patriot

Convention of States endorser and syndicated radio host Mark Levin explained the real takeaway from the Democratic debates Wednesday night. It's a systemic problem in both parties, but it was on display in full force during the debate. 

“What they’re calling for, what they’re supporting, with the media’s help, would be rejected completely by the Founding Fathers. Now what’s going on here? Health care for all, health care for illegal aliens, decriminalize the border, guaranteed minimum income, guaranteed jobs. We are totally unmoored from limited government and our constitutional system. This is exactly why I’m a supporter of Convention of States and Article V.”

Levin reminded listeners that the modern Democratic ideology, utopianism, is exactly what he outlined in his 2012 book, “Ameritopia.” The full quote is worth a listen, but here's an excerpt:

“‘It strips the individual of his uniqueness, making him indistinguishable from the multitudes that form what is commonly referred to as “the masses.” But it simultaneously assigns him a group identity based on race, ethnicity, age, gender, income, etc., to highlight differences within the masses. It then exacerbates old rivalries and disputes, or it incites new ones. This way, it can speak to the well-being of “the people” as a whole, while dividing them against themselves,'” Levin read. “… Does that not define what we’re going through right now?”

Utopianism has no place in the American system of government. Why? Because in order to achieve a "utopia," the federal government must be given more power and authority than the Founders even intended them to have.

Washington is well on its way to accomplishing this historic power grab, but there's a grassroots movement intent on stopping them. The Article V Convention of States Project is the largest grassroots organization calling for a Convention of States to limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government. 

A Convention of States is called and controlled by the states and has the power to propose constitutional amendments that put the federal government back in its place. These amendments can clarify the Founders' vision of a small, limited national government and restore that power to the states and the people.

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:
