WHAT NOW?
Our Founding Fathers provided for a time when too much power might be in the hands of the federal government. That time is now! Article V of our Constitution, allows for a COS (giving individual states the power to call for a convention, in order to amend the Constitution). That’s why a COS is sometimes called an Article V Convention.
Regardless of your political affiliation, I think we can all agree that there is too much power in Washington D.C.! This is not a partisan effort; it is a patriotic effort!
WHAT CAN WE DO?
A COS CALL TO ACTION will allow our State Legislators to come together and collectively decide on an amendment (or amendments) to our Constitution that will effectively limit the scope, power and jurisdiction of the federal government. (It is our understanding that amendments would be limited specifically to this range of issues.)
We must stand together, whether Democrat or Republican, to encourage our State Legislatures across this great country to vote YES ON COS!
WHO IS THE OPPOSITION?
We are aware of opposition, which is inevitable. Oddly, the far right fringe seems to have aligned with the far left fringe to oppose the COS. This is something that people need to be aware of, as they form and solidify their own opinions on this historic effort. If you’re not in the fringe of either party, then you’re probably FOR THE COS!
State Legislators should fight to take back some of the power from Washington, D.C. by applying for a COS in their individual states and by drafting suggested amendments to help RESTORE the Constitution to what our Founding Fathers intended. We are not trying to “re-write the Constitution,” as some naysayers would have you believe!
Some have called this a “right wing conspiracy.” However, this is NOT a partisan project and it is NOT about party or a particular ideology. I am a lifelong Democrat and successful businessman and I have supported MANY politicians and political causes along the way that didn’t always align with the Democratic Party.
