Two Gallup polls perfectly describe how Americans feel about Washington (it's not good)

Published in Blog on February 05, 2021 by Article V Patriot

Two polls recently released by Gallup describe perfectly how the American people feel about the federal government. 

First, on January 25, Gallup published a poll that shows "government/politics/poor leadership" is in increasing concern among Americans from both sides of the aisle. 

Between December 2020 and January 2021, Republicans and Independents concern about government or leadership-related issues rose by 9 points, and Democrats' concern rose by 11 points.

Then, yesterday, Gallup published another poll showing a massive decrease in satisfaction among all Americans related to the size and power of the federal government and our system of government.

Clearly, something is very wrong in our country -- and a new president sure hasn't changed anything.

Americans from both sides of the aisle recognize that a corrupt, irresponsible Congress and an overreaching, power-hungry president aren't what our country needs. We need true reform in D.C., and the only way we're going to get it is by calling the first-ever Article V Convention of States.

A Convention of States has the power to propose constitutional amendments that limit the power, scope, and jurisdiction of the federal government and return that power to the states. That way, even if the federal government is corrupt or overreaching, it won't have the authority to ruin our country with socialist policies or run up the national debt. 

We can't root out incompetence and corruption in D.C. But we can -- using Article V --  ensure that Washington's incompetence and corruption doesn't affect our daily lives.

To join the fight, sign the petition below!

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:
