Here's why term limits are essential to draining The Swamp

Term limits for members of the U.S. Congress are one of the most popular, bi-partisan proposals in our nation today. And yet, Congress refuses to adhere to the will of the people.

Why?

As Texas Sen. Ted Cruz explains in the segment below, term limits would keep members of Congress from growing their wealth and influence -- and drain the swamp more effectively than almost anything else.

Unfortunately, for the very reasons he explains, Sen. Cruz's amendment is unlikely to see the light of day (and may have been written with that reality in mind). That's why the people and the states need to come together to call the first-ever Convention of States.

A Convention of States is held under Article V of the Constitution and has the power to propose constitutional amendments like the one Sen. Cruz has developed. It's the only way to drain the swamp, and if our federal leaders are truly serious about draining the swamp, they'll join the millions of Americans already on board.

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]
