Steve Deace admits he was initially hesitant to join the Convention of States movement. Like many Americans, he wanted to be cautious with the Constitution and ensure that proper safeguards were in place.
His concerns were allayed after speaking with Convention of States Action President Mark Meckler, and he realized that not calling a Convention of States is far more dangerous than doing nothing.
"Within the last few years... to me, whatever reservations you have about risks are out the window now. The game is almost over," he said. "This process allows you to take matters into your own hands. It empowers you."
It's time to take matters into our own hands. We've been at the mercy of politicians in Washington for too long.
An Article V Convention of States is called and controlled by the people--acting through their state legislatures--and has the power to propose constitutional amendments that get our nation back on track. These amendments can limit federal power and jurisdiction, mandate term limits, and impose fiscal restraints on Congress.

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:

Respectfully, [Your Name]
