West Virginia veteran inspires, House votes overwhelmingly to pass Convention of States Resolution

You've probably already heard that the West Virginia state legislature passed the Convention of States Resolution last week, becoming the 18th state in history to call for an Article V convention to rein in federal power.

What you may not have seen are the inspiring speeches and testimonies that convinced the House of Delegates to vote 77-19-4 in favor of the Resolution.

One such speech was delivered by Dan Starky, a retired Master Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. Dan outlined powerfully and succinctly why a Convention of States is so vital to our country's future and why the House of Delegates should vote for the Convention of States Resolution.

"The states need to come together to amend the Constitution in ways that will limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government," he said. "I and thousands of other Mountaineers ask you today to be courageous, plant your flag, make a stand for liberty, and pass this Resolution!"

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:

info@conventionofstates.com or (540) 441-7227.

Thank you so much for your service to the people of our district.

Respectfully, [Your Name]
