WATCH: An embarrassing kerfuffle

Published in Blog on March 03, 2025 by Jakob Fay

It’s that time of year again.

Every legislative season, our opponents unleash their best and their brightest tin foil hatters to cue the dramatic music, dismiss the wisdom of the Founding Fathers, sound the alarm about the plot to use the Constitution to end the Constitution, and expose the big bad wolf in sheep’s clothing: Convention of States. 

Serious thought leaders and staunch constitutionalists — including David Barton, Rick Green, David Horowitz, Randy Barnett, Mat Staver, Robert P. George, the Texas Public Policy Foundation, the Heritage Foundation, and many more — shake their heads and roll their eyes. The arguments against the Article V convention are, at this point, hardly worth contending with. 

And yet, here we are. 

Despite being utterly illogical, these arguments continue to frustrate our progress in the fight to end federal tyranny, restore self-governance, and preserve federalism. It’s about time we kissed the lunacy farewell. The Framers of the Constitution wanted this to happen (that’s why they unanimously approved the Article V convention clause). No doubt, they would be disappointed to see those who, while pretending to follow and revere the Constitution, stand in our way.

A side-by-side comparison of the experts pushing for an Article V convention and the charlatans who oppose us is, frankly, embarrassing for the latter. Watch the following video to see what we’re talking about, and ask yourself: Who do you trust?

It should be obvious.


If you’re ready to take a stand, reject the myths and mendacity, and support the modern movement championing the Founders’ plan for curbing the growth of the federal government, sign the COS 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:
