Last week we told you about the Democratic pushback against its radical socialist base and the encouraging signs that the American people are rejecting the big-government agenda.
We also said that we have lots of work left to do -- here's what we mean.
Democrats in Missouri and New York have elected a new crop of socialist representatives that may be even more radical than "The Squad" led by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
"Squad 2.0 let's go," tweeted incoming congresswoman Cori Bush (D., Mo.) to congratulate fellow representatives-elect Jamaal Bowman (D., N.Y.) and Mondaire Jones (D., N.Y.) on their victories.
Congratulations @JamaalBowmanNY and @MondaireJones! Squad 2.0 let’s go 🙌🏾

These three legislators were all supported by the same PAC that elected Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.), Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), and Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.).
Here are a few of the policy positions of The Squad's new members, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
- Rep. Bush ran on a platform that supported the Green New Deal, universal basic income, and abolishing ICE. In recent weeks, Bush also championed the idea of defunding the Pentagon.
- Rep. Bowman has explicitly supported defunding the police, and although he claims to denounce the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, Bowman has embraced the support of anti-Israel activists.
- Rep. Jones also supports "defunding police and reinvesting this money in health, education, and alternatives to incarceration." The incoming congressman also supports the Green New Deal, codifying Roe v. Wade, and cutting the defense budget.
Socialism may have lost Florida for the Democrats, but the socialist contingent in Congress is growing. If we want to keep them from increasing their influence on our nation, we need to call the first-ever Article V Convention of States.
A Convention of States is called and controlled by the states and has the power to propose constitutional amendments that limit the power of the federal government as a whole. These amendments can end the threat of socialism by prohibiting -- in no uncertain terms -- the federal takeover of industries and sectors of our society. With these amendments in place, control over things like healthcare, education, energy and the environment will be left entirely to the states and the people -- where those decisions should be made.
