END WASHINGTON’S OVERREACH

Washington, D.C., will never voluntarily relinquish power. Article V of the Constitution offers the single best remedy for the crisis 

our nation is facing. The most important thing you can do to be a part of the solution is to tell your elected state legislators your \\
position. Please act now and sign the petition below. \\
Thank you for your commitment to restore constitutional government.

Dear [State Representative], 

 

Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt, combined with 

crushing regulations on states and business, 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 in Washington, D.C. Article V of the U.S. Constitution 

authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention for proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. 

The Convention of States Project seeks to call an Article V convention to propose only amendments that would impose 

fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and 

members of Congress. I support this approach. I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution 

calling for this kind of 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: http:%%//%%www.conventionofstates.com/handbook_pdf 

I ask that you support the Convention of States Project and consider becoming a co-sponsor of the resolution. 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. 

 

Thank you for your service to the people of our district.
