Over the last year, our country has been bombarded with the simple, insidious message that the United States was founded on racism, hate, and bigotry.
The true beginning of our nation wasn't in 1776 with the Declaration of Independence, this argument goes. Our true founding was 1619, when the first African slaves were brought to the shores of the New World.
This ideology has driven much of the violence and looting we've seen in our major cities. These "protesters" believe our country is rotten to its core, and they want to burn it down and build something new.
Don't believe us? Check out this terrifying footage from rallies across the country.
But what's the truth? Is America built on racism or freedom? This great video from Alliance Defending Freedom is the best place to start. The video was based on a great speech by Convention of States co-founder Michael Farris, and it clearly and succinctly explains why our country's story is something all Americans should be proud of.
Our founding principles should be protected and cherished, not thrown away. And the best way to protect those principles from big-government socialists is via an Article V Convention of States.
A Convention of States is called under Article V and has the power to propose constitutional amendments. These amendments can limit the power of Washington, D.C., restoring the principle of limited government and reasserting We the People's right to self-government.
Amendments proposed at a Convention of States can also impose fiscal restraints on Congress and mandate term limits for federal officials.
This complete package of constitutional amendments will frustrate the socialist agenda by decentralizing power and returning that power where it belongs -- with the states and the people.
