Meckler: The Great Pushback Has Begun

Published in Blog on November 04, 2021 by Article V Patriot

Are you fed up with Washington, with radical ideologies, and with politicians who just don't seem to care about us?

If you answered, "YES!" you aren't alone.

All across the country, Americans are standing up to tyranny, and COS Action President Mark Meckler outlined what he's calling the Great Pushback in a recent article on Newsmax:

They're tired of unconstitutional vaccine mandates in New Jersey, they're tired of leftist "educators" in Virginia telling them that they can't shape their kids' school curriculum.

Most of all, they're tired of an all-powerful federal government — controlled by know-it-all bureaucrats — telling them how to live their lives.

Election results from Virginia and New Jersey offered the first opportunity since Biden's inauguration to register discontent at the ballot box, but anyone who has been paying any attention could have seen this coming.

From the recent elections in Virginia and New Jersey to popularity of the "Let's Go Brandon!" chant to companies refusing to enforce vaccine mandates to Illinois sheriffs not bailing out Chicago's crime problem, the evidence for the Great Pushback is everywhere.

The polls back this up, as Mark explains:

Poll after poll shows the American people are sick and tired of Biden's agenda, and their opinions won't be changing any time soon.

The latest NBC poll showed 71% of Americans now think the country is headed in the wrong direction.

And when asked who would best handle important national issues like crime, inflation, national security, the economy, and border security, Americans give Republicans a double-digit lead over Biden's party.

Those numbers explain what is happening in airports, school board meetings, restaurants, and football stadiums all across the country.

We should refuse to comply with tyrannical mandates. We should vote for better politicians, and we should oppose big-government policies at every turn. But the most powerful tool in our arsenal will always be an Article V Convention of States.

A Convention of States is called by the states under the authority of the Constitution and has the power to propose constitutional amendments. These amendments can limit federal power, impose term limits on federal officials, and force Congress to be fiscally responsible.

If we really want to send Washington a message, we'll unite behind the Convention of States movement and forever change the status quo in D.C.

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:
