Convention of States: A Constitutional Solution to Federal Overreach
In today's political climate, it's easy to feel like the government is out of control. The federal government has grown too big and too powerful, and it seems like there's nothing we can do about it. But what if there was a way to rein in the federal government and restore power to the states and the people? That's where Convention of States comes in.
Convention of States is a grassroots movement that seeks to use Article V of the Constitution to call a convention for proposing amendments. This convention would be limited in scope, focusing only on proposals that would impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on federal officials.
The idea behind Convention of States is simple: if we can't trust Congress to limit its own power, then we need another way. Article V offers that way. By calling a convention for proposing amendments, we can bypass Congress altogether and propose amendments directly from the states.
But why do we need these amendments? The answer is simple: federal overreach. For too long, the federal government has been expanding its power at the expense of state sovereignty and individual liberty. It has become bloated with bureaucracy, burdened with debt, and unresponsive to the needs of ordinary Americans.
Convention of States believes that by imposing fiscal restraints on the federal government (such as a balanced budget amendment), limiting its power (such as by repealing unnecessary regulations), and imposing term limits on federal officials (to prevent career politicians from becoming entrenched), we can restore balance between state governments and our national government.
But how does Convention of States plan to achieve this goal? Through education, advocacy, lobbying efforts at both state legislatures across America as well as through social media campaigns aimed at raising awareness about this important issue among citizens who are concerned about their rights being trampled upon by an overreaching central authority.
One thing that sets Convention Of States apart from other organizations advocating for constitutional reform is their commitment towards transparency; they have made all their financial records available online so anyone interested in supporting them knows exactly where their money goes towards achieving these goals!
In conclusion,
If you're tired of watching helplessly as Washington D.C continues down an unsustainable path towards bigger deficits & more centralized control over our lives - then join us! Together let us work towards restoring balance between state governments & our national one through education campaigns aimed at raising awareness among citizens who care deeply about preserving individual liberties enshrined within America’s founding documents such as The Constitution & Bill Of Rights!
