In the past 10 days, we’ve watched in horror as Hurricane Helene ravaged Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Over 220 deaths were reported and dozens are missing. Many survivors have lost everything – and they don’t have insurance.
Stories have sprung up on social media that FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) is not in the most desperate areas. Across the landscape, U.S. citizens feel like their country has forgotten them. Yet, neighbors and volunteers are standing up and lending a hand to do whatever it takes to get their community back on its feet.
This isn’t the first (or second) time FEMA has dropped the ball. In fact, FEMA still “has $8.3 billion in “unliquidated obligations” set aside to help victims of storms from before 2012!” (Source: OpentheBooks.com)

Now Hurricane Milton is fiercely barreling into Florida’s Gulf Coast promising more danger, death, and destruction. Another lesson in a “bumbling” Federal Government is playing out for you to watch.
The government is broken. It is obvious that Congress isn’t going to fix it. An Article V convention of the states is the solution.
Just as neighbors are helping neighbors through the devastation, “we the people” are poised to work together to reign in an increasingly incompetent and wasteful federal government using an Article V convention.
Together, we are strong!
