The socialist takeover of Romania bears terrifying resemblance to what's happening in our country today

Published in Blog on November 30, 2020 by Article V Patriot

If you don't believe the socialist threat is real, check out this op-ed written by Romanian immigrant Christian Ionescu and published on The Daily Wire.

Ionescu describes how the socialists in Romania convinced the population that big government was the solution to their problems, and their campaign plunged the country into decades of poverty and misery.

First, Ionescu explains, they took over education, entertainment, and the media to redefine poverty as "success":

In Romania for example, socialists redefined success, labeling affluence indecent and exploitive. Entrepreneurs and landowners were portrayed as parasites and thieves. Intellectuals were dismissed as dishonest mercenaries of the Capitalistic system and Religious people were considered a threat to the state for supposedly keeping people enslaved to fear and mysticism. 

Then, they tried to convince the Romanian citizens that their prosperity was actually a bad thing:

In the middle of the most prosperous years of the Romanian Monarchy, bar the Second World War, Communists tried to make the Romanian people believe they were living a nightmare. They were not successful because Romanians knew better and were always skeptical of Bolshevism. It took the Soviet army forcefully exiling the King, deposing the Government, confiscating private property, changing the currency and plunging Romania into decades of suffering and misery.

Sound familiar? As Ionescu points out, socialists in this country have embarked on the exact same mission. They're in control of the entertainment, education, and media industries. And now they're trying to undermine our faith in the American dream, convincing millions of our fellow citizens that the most prosperous country in world history is actually a hellscape. If you need more proof, check out this footage of socialists at recent rallies across the country.

We need to build a firewall against socialism before it's too late. Right now, the federal government has the power to impose the socialist agenda. Thanks to bad Supreme Court decisions, the U.S. Congress can legislative on virtually any issue, allowing the socialists to implement their schemes the moment they gain control of Congress.  

The only way to reverse these bad decisions is via constitutional amendments, and the only way to get those amendments is with a Convention of States.

An Article V Convention of States is called and controlled by the states and has the power to propose amendments that limit the size, scope, and jurisdiction of the federal government. These amendments can clarify the small, limited role the Founders envisioned for the national government and ensure that the social "utopia" never comes to America.

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:
