YOU or the DC Bureaucrats?
The cost of just about everything has risen. Americans are struggling to afford essential items like groceries, gas, and housing. The country's debt grows by the second and there are calls for raising the debt ceiling. Who is going to pay for this?
You! Your current share is over $100,000 -- that's $100,000 for every man, woman and child in America. See the U.S. Debt Clock HERE.

The session will be held in the Meeting Room adjacent to the lobby entrance. Look for the Convention of States banner.
What the framers of our Constitution intended as a brief departure from one’s career to serve their neighbors in Congress has become something far less altruistic. They foresaw a day when the Federal Government would serve itself instead of the people, and they provided a way out. It is a weapon that those vested in the current corrupt political system do not want you to know about.
Article V of the Constitution offers a powerful weapon to the people; a weapon which, once wielded, could spell a return to the checks and balances of power between the several States and Congress that the Founders envisioned. A Convention of States is provided for in Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It is a process whereby the People can, through their State Legislatures, bypass the U.S. Congress altogether to amend the Constitution and place practical limits on the actions of the Federal government and its bloated bureaucracy.
The process is simple, but not easy. Two-thirds of the State legislatures must pass a Resolution for a Convention of States to consider amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Once two-thirds have been reached, Congress must, by law, call the Convention. Each of the fifty States may send as many delegates as they choose to the Convention, but each State has just one vote. Any proposed amendment coming out of the Convention must then be ratified by two-thirds of the several States in order to become a Constitutional Amendment.
The COS Resolution has already passed in 19 states and six more states have passed it in one of their two chambers. Several additional states are expected to take up the Resolution in 2023.
There is a path forward. Come and learn the facts about Convention of States. Discover how you can help bring about real change in Washington DC.
