Mark Meckler offers timely message about Hurricanes Milton and Helene

FEMA “should not exist.”

That was Mark Meckler’s message about the federal government’s disastrous response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

It may sound like a harsh message, but the truth of the matter is that “our Constitution does not authorize broad-scale emergency management,” Meckler argued. “This was not how our federal government was designed.”

“Federal Emergency Management [Agency] is, obviously, a disaster,” he said. “It’s been a disaster for a long time. But I would argue, fundamentally, at its core, that’s because it should not exist.”

And why didn’t the Framers allow for government programs like FEMA in the Constitution? Because they knew that top-heavy government programs tend to become slow, ineffective, and “rife with corruption.”

So, if we are not meant to turn to Washington for help in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and as we await Milton, how should we respond? Mark Meckler answers in the video below.

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]
