Chengbo Sun is an immigrant from China and now lives in Montgomery County. He let both committees know how much he values liberty in the United States.
I was like a bird out of a cage. This land is like heaven to me.
So many decisions are made by Washington, D.C., instead of in our state.
Our country is the last land of peace and freedom. She is a light to the people of the world.
Also courageously testifying was Yuen "Brigit" Chang, born in Hong Kong.
Our government system is the best in the world when in operates to the Constitution. We have strayed from this. For years, our federal government has placed regulatory burdens on business, rules to restrict commerce and freedom of speech. These are very familiar things to me.
Federal agencies are not elected by the people. However, they are able to collect money and spend money on projects that only benefit their donors.
You know what's best for Marylanders better than officials in D.C.
Bob Bagheri is a District Captain from Montgomery County. He was born in Iran and immigrated to the U.S. in 1980. He admits to begin confused by both political parties.
My goal is to educate as many Americans as I can bout Article V and the Constitution, regardless of their political views. Do not mistake our movement s a political movement. Join us and learn, too.
More than 80% of Americans agree on the need for term limits. It returns (serving in elected office) to a civic duty.
Chengbo, Yuen and Bob are all immigrants to this nation. Their perspective is of value and we are grateful for their support. They challenged legislators to look beyond party politics, consider the benefit to Marylanders, and recognize that people around the globe admire the freedoms enshrined in our Constitution - including Article V.
We are now more than halfway to our goal to convene a Convention of States! 19 of the needed 34 states have passed the resolution, and we're making progress in the remaining states, including Maryland. Our national goal is to reach 24 states by 2024 and the required 34 by 2026. Momentum is on our side! To learn more about getting involved, click the image below.
