The Liberty Update. Catch up on last week’s need-to-know headlines.

Published in Blog on May 08, 2023 by Jakob Fay

Happy Monday, patriots!

As we jump into a brand-new week in the fight for liberty, you won’t want to miss these headlines from last week’s news cycle. You can listen to these stories here on the latest episode of The Liberty Update.

1. U.S. approaches urgent debt limit deadline

Uncle Sam should have capped our national debt limit and stuck to it years ago. Instead, he has continued to saddle future generations with the crushing and almost certainly unbearable burden of paying this generation’s hefty expenses.

Now, Congress is embroiled in an intense debt limit battle as the U.S. staggers dangerously close to defaulting on some of its debt.

2. 27 states take a stand against new Biden policy that punishes people with good credit

A Biden administration plan set to take effect today forces people with good credit scores to subsidize mortgage loans of higher-risk borrowers, effectively punishing people who are financially responsible.

This essentially creates a socialist system in which money is redistributed based on one's economic standing.

3. Texas border rally raises awareness about southern border crisis, demands action

Last week’s How Many More? Rally at the Texas Capitol, where thousands of Americans gathered to demand that Lone Star State lawmakers take steps to secure America’s southern border, was a huge success.

Guests heard from a variety of speakers, many of whom are on the frontlines fighting against the humanitarian crisis of drug and human trafficking that plays out in Texas every day.

Watch the event here.

4. Biden admin. 'co-conspirator' in global pandemic treaty

Legal expert and COS Senior Advisor Michael Farris is warning that the World Health Organization’s global pandemic treaty will be forced through the executive branch, bypassing the Senate and ultimately changing the structure of America.

“Biden intends to advance this treaty as an executive agreement and bind the whole country without sending it to the U.S. Senate,” Farris alerted on a recent podcast with legal expert Rita Peters. “This is all made up out of thin air. Constitutional originalism would not permit this but the current Supreme Court does permit it under the executive agreement process.”

Petition your state legislator

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.
