Convention of States Action President Mark Meckler appeared this week on Spicer & Co. to provide an update on the victories in Wisconsin and Nebraska.
He also used the opportunity to cast a vision. The Convention of States will be one of the most transformational events in our nation's history, but it won't be changing our nation as much as restoring it.
The Founders envisioned a small, limited federal government and robust, powerful state governments. As is obvious to all Americans, that vision has been flipped on its head.
A Convention of States can restore that original vision by proposing constitutional amendments that limit federal power, impose fiscal restraints on Congress, and mandate term limits for federal officials.
What do those sorts of amendments look like? Mark explained those details on the show.
"It involves things like a balanced budget amendment. You could impose generally accepted accounting principles. You could impose tax and spending caps. You could tell them, no you can't have a department of education or energy or environment -- things that were always intended to be handled by the state," Mark explained.

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:

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]
