Wisconsin volunteers inspire and educate legislators at EXPLOSIVE Wisconsin hearing

Phew. This was an amazing committee hearing.

If you didn't get a chance to view it live on our Facebook page, we've recorded the entire hearing and published it below.

"The public is fed up with our federal governance," Representative Daniel Knodl told his colleagues. "There’s no confidence left. We have to decide as state legislators, do you want to continue to be dictated to…or do we want to exercise our authority in Article V of the Constitution to unite with our fellow states and consider amendments?”

COS Wisconsin volunteer Dwayne Parkinson agreed:

"The federal government has no intention to ever fix it… You hold the power," he said. "The Founders gave us this tool for a reason. They expected the states to rein in the government they were creating if it ever got out of control. Is it impossible to imagine the states banding together now to reclaim the republic they created? If not now, when?”

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]
