Pete Hegseth, Minnesota Rep. Cal Bahr talk Convention of States on Justice & Drew KTLK

Fox News' Pete Hegseth joined Minnesota Rep. Cal Bahr recently to discuss the Convention of States movement on the Justice & Drew radio show. It was a great segment, and we wanted to share it with everyone.

Justice & Drew jumped right in to the question many people have about an Article V Convention of States: "Do you have any level of concern that the wrong things will be done at a Convention of States?"

Pete answered immediately.

"No I don't, because of the very narrowly tailored nature of these resolutions. And the fact that there are plenty of built-in accountability mechanisms--from the state legislatures having to approve them, choosing the delegates that attend the convention, and the ability to recall those delegates if they deviate at all from their charge."

Rep. Bahr also noted that the Founders knew D.C. could get out of control, and they included the Convention of States option in Article V for exactly this situation.

"The Founders knew that D.C. could get out of control, and the Founders gave us a way to check that in," he said.

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]
