Tom Coburn: Congress refuses to fix our biggest problems, so it's our turn

As we look back this week and remember the amazing life and legacy of Dr. Tom Coburn, we want to highlight the ways that Dr. Coburn fought for the future health and security of the country he loved.

Dr. Coburn is famous for championing fiscal responsibility during his time in Congress, and he never stopped that fight even after retiring. Through his work at the Convention of States Project, he continued to encourage We the People to take control of our future and force Congress to be fiscally responsible.

His words were prophetic. If we had already called a Convention of States to mandate fiscal responsibility, we would be in a much better position to respond to the economic fallout of the COVID-19 crisis.

Join the movement Dr. Coburn championed. Sign the Convention of States Petition below to tell your state legislators that you support the Article V movement.

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.

Respectfully, [Your Name]
