Rich Zeoli: You want change?! Support Convention of States!

Published in Blog on January 21, 2021 by Article V Patriot

Radio host Rich Zeoli has been a longtime supporter of the Convention of States Project, and he took to the airwaves recently to encourage his listeners to stand up and do something about the out-of-control federal government. 

"You want change? You want to do something productive? Support the Convention of States. Urge your legislators to pass it," he said. "It would invoke things like term limits. It could return control of the Senate to the states. There are legitimate, reasonable things that are being proposed."

Zeoli understands that those who truly love our country and our Constitution won't give up. They'll do everything in their power to restore power to We the People and make the federal government work for us -- not the other way around. 

"We the People have lost control of our federal government. It's too powerful. But we're never going to have Congress pass term limits. You need a Convention of States to do that," he said.

"I love this country and I love the Constitution, and I have been fighting for the Convention of States for years for that reason."

Zeoli isn't alone. Dozens of national leaders have endorsed the Convention of States movement, and over 5 million Americans have voiced their support.

A Convention of States is called under Article V of the Constitution and has the power to propose constitutional amendments that limit the power, scope, and jurisdiction of the federal government. These amendments can also impose term limits on federal officials and mandate fiscal responsibility in Congress. 

To join the movement (and follow Zeoli's advice by telling your legislators you support the Article V movement), sign the petition below.

Petition your state legislator

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:
