There has been a growing momentum among the Union of our great nation. It is called " Convention of States. With government spending running rampid. And fiscal responsibility completely ignored our children's children will be paying off the National Debt. How do we reign in our politicians of whom believe they represent us on a open check book? In September 15th 1787 George Mason from Virginia stood to his feet in objection. Said that the government cannot be relied upon to regulate itself. And proposed Article V (5) of the United States Constitution be amended and written as such.
" The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate. " Rev. 1992
Convention of States was co-founded by Mark Meckler , A American Political Activist who is currently the President of Citizens for self governance also is the co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots.He is also a author and attorney.
Article V requires 34 states ( two thirds ) to sign on to the petition to call for a Convention of States. Currently 12 states have signed on. Alabama , Alaska , Florida , Georgia , Louisiana , Oklahoma , Indiana , Tennessee , Missouri , Arizona , Texas , North Dakota. And as leaders of this grassroot movement is gaining momentum they are waiting on states to finish up voting to join. https://conventionofstates.com/take_action
Arkansas , New Mexico , Utah , Mississippi , Iowa , South Dakota , Virginia , North Carolina , West Virginia , New Hampshire.
Mark Levin , a very patriotic radio personality and American political activist is a avid supporter of the Convention of States and can be attributed to a large portion of its advancement using his Political Radio talk show to educate other Patriotic Americans about the movement. Mr. Levin who is a Constitutionalist and served as Chief of Staff for the Dept. of Justice during President Reagan presidency , likely knows the U.S. Constitution better then many of those who sit in congress currently. Mr. Levin was quoted as saying " This ( Convention of States ) is the only way out ". " Starting at the bottom up ".
We all can agree that our government is running amuck. It no longer represents the individual citizen according to how it was intended to. Fiscal spending is without regulation as our taxes increase year after year. Many know the saying " The rich get richer and the poor get poorer ". Currently there is a overwhelming political battle over President Trump getting " Wall Funding ". The government was shut down for a record number of days. Now it has re-opened but still lies in massive grid lock. The American people are not represented. Our homeless and veterans are forgotten as we focus on migrants swarming into our nation. Giving the migrants the benefits our own citizens should be getting. Why our government forgets its own is unconscionable.
There are many of other issues facing our Great Nation even if we are in turmoil. We need to support the Convention of States and reign in Uncle Sam. Visit their website and show your support.
