This Thanksgiving, be thankful that the Founders gave us a way to drain a (potential) Biden administration swamp

Published in Blog on November 25, 2020 by Article V Patriot

Joe Biden announced his cabinet picks this week, and it looks like he plans to put The Swamp back in charge at the White House (if he gains control of it).

Biden is filling his (potential) cabinet with career politicians, lifelong bureaucrats, and former members of the Obama administration. People like John Kerry, Obama's Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, and longtime advisor Antony Blinken are promising to return D.C. to "normal." As the American people know, this just means they'll continue pursuing corruption, abuse, and overreach.

When President Trump promised to "drain The Swamp," many Americans cheered his efforts to cut back on regulation and shrink the size of federal bureaucracies. But while he did his best, the changes he imposed weren't permanent. Biden's (proposed) cabinet members will reverse many of President Trump's reforms, and D.C. will continue to be as swampy as ever.

We need a better solution, and this Thanksgiving we should be thankful that the Founders gave us that solution in Article V.

An Article V Convention of States can propose constitutional amendments that don't change with each administration. These amendments can force Congress to balance the budget, get rid of career politicians with a term limits mandate, and truly drain The Swamp by permanently limiting the size, scope, and jurisdiction of the federal government.

If you're afraid of the changes a (possible) Biden administration will bring, there is hope. The people and the states can join together, call a Convention of States, and make the structural changes to D.C. that no president can undo.

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:
