Will the socialists take over the Democratic party? Mark Meckler says AOC is one to watch at DNC

Published in Blog on August 13, 2020 by Article V Patriot

Big-government socialists have taken full control of the progressive wing of the Democratic party. Now they're looking to take over the entire party, and this year's Democratic National Convention may mark the beginning of that coup. 

Mark Meckler told Newsmax that Democratic-Socialist Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be leading the charge.

"AOC represents the wing of the party that has the most energy," he said. "She's the person to be watching. She's driving policy on the ground in the Democratic party."

We have to build a firewall against socialism before it's too late, and the best way to do that is via an Article V Convention of States.

A Convention of States is called and controlled by the states and has the power to propose constitutional amendments. These amendments can prohibit big-government socialist policies by limiting the power and jurisdiction of the federal government as a whole. 

They can, for example, prohibit the federal government from spending money on anything within state jurisdiction. They can restore the teeth of the Commerce Clause by limiting congressional spending to true interstate commerce, and they can limit the Supreme Court's activist interpretation of the General Welfare clause. 

These amendments can, in other words, limit federal power to such an extent that socialist policies are clearly and unequivocally unconstitutional. 

Millions of Americans have voiced their support and fifteen states have already called for such a Convention. Sign the official Convention of States Petition below to join the movement!

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:
