Sen. Rick Santorum has never been afraid to speak the truth.
During a recent meeting with hundreds of state legislators, he did exactly that.
He explain how he was initially skeptical about the Convention of States movement, but as he continued to read and learn, he became convinced that it's the only way to get our country back on track.
Then, he challenged the state legislators to use their constitutional authority given to them in Article V and respond to the tyranny of Washington, D.C.
"As state legislators, you have the ability to do more to change Washington, D.C., than any member of Congress or even the president. Think about the opportunity you have, right now, to do something about that at a time when hope is so remote," he said. "This is the opportunity the Founders gave you. They gave you the power to save this country."
"With all due respect, how dare you not try. How dare you in the face of what's going on in this country that you all know in your guts is ruinous of this great country. How dare you, when you have the opportunity to use what the Founders gave you as the failsafe. You are the last line," he continued. "We've gotta get this done. Not ten years from now. Now. Give people hope."
