The Convention of States movement is picking up steam, and the media is taking notice.
Convention of States Action President Mark Meckler joined Joshua Phillip of the Epoch Times recently for a 30-minute interview covering Article V, federal tyranny, and the state of the Convention of States movement.
"If you look at what the courts have done to the Constitution over the last 115 years, they've taken what were limited, enumerated powers of the federal government and expanded them dramatically. They're now unlimited, unenumerated. And the power pyramid has been flipped on its head," Mark said.
"Most of the power now resides at the level of the federal government rather than the states. We're just trying to right the ship and put the power back with the states rather than the federal government."

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:

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]
