Mark Meckler on Larry O'Connor: Electoral victories give Convention of States momentum in 2021

Published in Blog on November 30, 2020 by Article V Patriot

Many Americans are understandably discouraged by the presidential election. While President Trump's legal appeals aren't over, it's looking increasingly likely that Joe Biden will be our country's next president. Biden represents a return to "normal" in D.C., a status quo that We the People won't tolerate much longer. 

But there is good news from the latest election. As Convention of States Action President Mark Meckler explained on a recent appearance on the Larry O'Connor Show, victories in state elections put us closer than ever to calling the first-ever Article V Convention of States.

"This election was an incredible victory for the things that you and I hold near and dear," he said. "We see this in state legislatures across the country. Over 126 seats so far flipped from blue to red in state legislatures. It was a wave."

A Convention of States is the only way to permanently change how Washington operates. President Trump shook things up for four years, but President Biden is set to undo all of his work. We need a better solution, and we can find it in Article V.

As Mark explained, Article V allows the states to call a convention for the purpose of proposing constitutional amendments (a Convention of States). These amendments can limit the power of the federal government, impose fiscal restraints on Congress, and mandate term limits for federal officials. 

It's our last, best hope to save our republic from federal overreach and abuse. Millions of Americans have joined the cause, and 15 states have already passed the Convention of States Resolution. When 34 states pass it, a Convention of States will be triggered.

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:
