www.conventionofstates.com<\/a>.<\/p>\nWe call upon the states to immediately prioritize and pass the COS resolution to send a clear message to Washington: We the People and the states reject the out-of-control spending, fiscal insanity, and unbridled corruption.<\/p>\n
Today you can send a clear message to D.C.: We the People are empowered to put the brakes on Washington.<\/p>\n
More than 3.2 million grassroots activists are working now in every state house district in America to permanently \u201cDrain the Swamp\u201d by calling an Article V amendments convention of states to call for fiscal restraint, limiting the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and put term limits on Congress and the judiciary.<\/p>\n
\u201cWashington will never get its fiscal house in order,\u201d said Senator Tom Coburn, Senior Advisor to Convention of States. \u201cThose on Capitol Hill love the power, prestige, and corruption that keep them swimming in the swamp. There is only one recourse, and that is calling a Convention of States to put limits on the federal government once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only way to keep our country from bankruptcy and rein back federal power is by calling a Convention of States,\u201d explained Senator Jim DeMint, Senior Advisor to Convention of States. \u201cAmerica\u2019s Founders gave We the People a constitutional tool for such a time as this to rein in our out-of-control federal government and save our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is impossible to adequately express my utter disdain for what the Republicans and Democrats have done to the American people by shoving down our throats an omnibus spending bill that no one has read,\u201d said Mark Meckler, President of Citizens for Self-Governance.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is now time for We the People to take away the power from the federal government. The solution to the problem is obvious and the only way to drain the swamp is using the Article V option of the U. S. Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Convention of States is not a Republican or a Democratic issue\u2014it is an American issue. It is a movement for liberty against the current tyranny of the Washington elite and bureaucratic swamp.<\/p>\n
Corruption at the highest levels of government\u2014in federal law enforcement agencies, regulatory organizations, the Internal Revenue Service, and Congress\u2014can be stopped permanently by the Convention of States resolution, currently passed in 12 states and in process in 23 others.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
