Scott: Whether you're on the right or the left, you should care about irresponsible spending

With the impending passage of President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion "stimulus" bill, Scott's message could not be more timely.

He spoke in front of a Montana legislative committee recently and urged state legislators to take up the Convention of States Resolution to help control the federal government's out-of-control spending.

"Whether you're on the right or the left, the issue is the same: we have too much federal spending right now," he said. "And unfortunately, there is no restraint."

Huge majorities of Americans support amendments that force Congress to be fiscally responsible and limit the terms of office for federal officials. Congress has shown no willingness to take up either kind of amendments, so it's up to the people and the states.

Article V allows the states to come together in a Convention of States to propose constitutional amendments. These amendments can do what the federal government never will: limit Washington's power, spending, and influence.

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]
