SC State Rep. Taylor: "We're at a crisis point in our country."

South Carolina Senator Bill Taylor has been one of our strongest legislative champions since the founding of Convention of States.

Last week, Sen. Taylor rose in a legislative committee hearing and spoke forcefully in favor of the Convention of States Resolution. He covered lots of ground in his brief, 4-minute address, but at the heart of his remarks, he called on his colleagues to do their duty under the Constitution.

"Washington is bloated and out of control, and we have the right and ability... to put a stop to it. It's the legal and lawful way to go about all of this," he said. "We gave birth to the federal government. We are the parent, and they are the child. It's gotten turned around and upside down, and the federal government is out of control."

"This isn't a red or blue issue... this is a red, white, and blue issue," Rep. Taylor said.

Rep. Taylor's words had the intended effect! The committee passed the Resolution and put South Carolina one step closer to becoming the 18th state to call a Convention of States.

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]
