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.

Simple: to bring power back to the states and the people, where it belongs. Unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. shouldn’t be allowed to make sweeping decisions that impact millions of Americans. But right now, they do. So it all boils down to one question: Who do you think should decide what’s best for you and your family? You, or the feds? We’d vote for the American people every single time. WHAT IS AN ARTICLE V CONVENTION ANYWAY? Article V of the U.S. Constitution gives states the power to call a convention to propose amendments. It takes 34 states to call the convention and 38 to ratify any amendments that are proposed. Our convention would only allow the states to discuss amendments that, “limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, impose fiscal restraints, and place term limits on federal officials.” How it works Our legislation Is it safe? ARTICLE V IN A NUTSHELL Looking for a three minute description of how an Article V Convention of States works? Check out this video. Ready to dig deeper? We’ve done the research. Lots and lots of research. Check out a few of the resources below for answers to our most frequently asked questions. FAQS Simulated Convention Convention of States Handbook More Research OUR APPLICATION LIMITS WHAT CAN BE PROPOSED AT THE CONVENTION Our legislation calls for a Convention of States “limited to proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress." Click here to check out our model application and see the language being passed by states around the country! IS IT SAFE? ABSOLUTELY. Article V includes numerous safeguards that protect the U.S. Constitution and ensure that only widely approved amendments are adopted. The strongest safeguard? Any amendment proposed by the Convention goes through the exact same ratification process as amendments proposed by Congress. It must be approved by 38 states. That means if only 13 states vote no, the answer is no. It doesn’t get much safer than that! Check out more answers to objections here! Simulated Convention SO ARE YOU MAKING ANY PROGRESS? You better believe it! Since Convention of States launched in 2013, we’ve been spreading like wildfire. With millions of supporters nationwide, we have petition signers in every single state house district across America. We’re actively working in all fifty states to pass the Convention of States Resolution! Check out our latest stats below. Progress map * Active Legislation in this year * Passed COS Resolution * Passed in one chamber hide WHO IS BEHIND THIS THING? We thought you’d never ask! The American people. Convention of States is first and foremost a movement of grassroots citizens who are fed up with business as usual in D.C. We’re funded by thousands of everyday patriots who have committed their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to protecting liberty for future generations.
