Remembering Rush Limbaugh, an Article V convention advocate

Today marks two years since the conservative icon Rush Limbaugh passed away at the age of 70 from lung cancer complications.

While his death was heartbreaking to millions in the conservative movement, his legacy and dedication to America carry on years later.

Rush Limbaugh famously advocated for using Article V on his radio show to fix the problems in the federal government. He discussed Mark Levin's book, The Liberty Amendments, explaining that these amendments are intended to restate what the Constitution is and its original purpose.

"There is impeachment to deal with a lawless president, a lawless executive. But there is another way, and it is right in the Constitution. It's right there in Article V of the Constitution," he said on his radio show in 2014.

The standard politics of today is not going to fix our federal government's current situation, but that doesn't mean we stand hopeless. Limbaugh explained the Founders tool in what he said is a "prescription to fix it."

"There are remedies for this. The remedy is not the Republican party. The American people are going to have to fix this. And that's Levin's book. It's a wonderful book."

He dismissed the fears behind Convention of States opposition groups. This is not a constitutional convention where a new constitution is drafted, he contended, adding that it's state-sponsored.

"The Constitution is going to have to be put back together," he said. "The states have the power if they want to do it."

Article V is a way to put power back in the hands of the people. Show your support for a Convention of States by signing the petition below.

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]
