After spending years in Washington, former Senator Rick Santorum shed light on the power dynamics within the federal government during the Simulated Article V Convention held by Convention of States Foundation in August.
In a thought-provoking address, former Senator Rick Santorum acknowledged the disconnect between state authority and the federal government.
"You guys are shoveling the stables, right? You're just dealing with the crap we throw down to you and you do what you're told, right? And if you don't do what you're told we'll take your money," he told the room full of state commissioners.
As a senior advisor to COSF, Santorum advocated for an Article V convention as a powerful means to shift the nation's trajectory. He emphasized that merely calling the convention is a pivotal step in reclaiming state authority and making Washington take notice. It signals to D.C. politicians that the states are back in charge and their dominance is waning.
Santorum's message resonates with the Founders' vision of states as the preservers of liberty. The prospect of the first Article V convention offers hope for a redefined balance of power, where D.C. politicians no longer dominate.
