The Convention of States movement is gaining momentum, and there's no sign of slowing down.
A new poll in Kentucky revealed overwhelming support for an Article V Convention of States to limit federal spending, limit federal power, and establish term limits for members of Congress.
According to a survey of likely Kentucky voters, 69 percent support a Convention of States while only 16 percent oppose and 15 percent are undecided.
And the support crosses party lines. While 71 percent of Republicans would back a Convention of States, 65 percent of Democrats would as well.
And it's no wonder. Our national debt has reached $23 trillion, which represents nearly $200,000 per tax return filed. Whether under Democrat or Republican control, Washington shows no desire to curb spending or limit their own power.
What's more, D.C. has every reason to resist swamp-draining reform. The largest concentration of wealth in America over the last 25 years isn't in LA or New York -- it's within 25 miles of the D.C. beltway.
That's why the states must call the first-ever Article V Convention of States. A Convention of States is called and controlled by the states and has the power to propose constitutional amendments under three subject categories:
- Limit the power of the federal government.
- Enforce fiscal responsibility.
- Mandate term limits.
Kentucky voters know how vital these amendments are to the future of our nation, but they're not alone.
According to polling in 13 additional states, a full 66 percent of American voters support the Convention of States movement.
And a different set of 15 states have already approved the Convention of States resolution, including Indiana, Oklahoma, Texas, North Dakota, Florida, Arizona, Louisiana, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Alaska, Mississippi, Utah, Arkansas, and Missouri.
This nationwide movement is powered by over four million patriots who have signed on to support the Convention of States Project. They won't stop until the state legislatures act on behalf of the American people and get D.C. out of their daily lives.
