Maryland will sponsor the continuation of the humanitarian disaster for children

As detailed in "The thoroughly avoidable border crisis is a humanitarian disaster for children" post on April 19, here comes yet another story published on April 28 at localdvm.com entitled "Montgomery County to take in unaccompanied minors."

According to the article, Montgomery County of Maryland has already taken in excess of 100 "unaccompanied minors" from the border this year and plans to take in hundreds more. MoCo is one of the top 10 relocation destinations in the country for children abandoned at the border.

As posited in the April 19 post, who is paying for this generosity? At what cost to the children and school system in MoCo? And what will be the human toll on a community already under the stress of a pandemic with closed schools and businesses?

Moreover, who in Maryland or Montgomery County voted for this? Maryland already ranks in the top 10 among states spending the most on illegal immigration, ahead of Arizona and Nevada. Congratulations, Annapolis.

Citizens concerned for the future of our nation and Maryland--under federal and state governments that are increasingly bloated, corrupt, reckless, and invasive--have a constitutional option.

We can call a Convention of States to bring power back to the states and the people, where it belongs. Be a 21st Century patriot. Join us and sign the petition.

Sign the petition to call for an Article V convention!

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:

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

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

Respectfully, [Your Name]
