Michael Farris guests on "Montana Majority Report"

Convention of States Action co-founder and senior adviser Michael Farris was recently a guest on the "Montana Majority Report", a program hosted by Montana Senate Majority Leader Tom McGillvray.

Leader McGillvray, a self-described fiscal conservative, is a co-sponsor of House Joint Resolution 5 -- the COS resolution -- in the Montana legislature, and is particularly focused on the national debt and debt service.

Both men talk about how they came to support a limited-purpose Article V convention to reduce the size and scope of the federal government, why the states must curb the abuse of power of the federal government, and the agenda for a convention: fiscal restraints, term limits on federal officials, and restrictions on the power and jurisdiction of the federal government.

Watch and listen:

Take some time to enjoy this terrific conversation between two serious individuals who are dedicated to to first principles and fiscal responsibility.

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]
