"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?”
