Pennsylvania Rep. Matt Gabler: Here's how the states can actually fix the mess in Washington

Many state legislators do not realize that they have the power to fix the problems in our nation's capital.

Article V empowers them to place real, constitutional limits on the federal government, and Pennsylvania Rep. Matt Gabler outlined this awesome responsibility to his colleagues at a recent committee hearing.

"Sometimes I get questions from constituents, who ask, 'What are you going to do to fix that mess in Washington?' Usually, my response is, 'I work in Harrisburg, so there's a limit there.'"

"But the Framers of our Constitution were very smart. They included language in Article V of the U.S. Constitution that said that state legislators have the power to have a conversation about how to strengthen the limits on federal power."

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:

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

Respectfully, [Your Name]
