The earliest ‘meeting of the 

minds’ to discuss Article V of 

the Constitution was when 

the Constitutional Convention met 

in Philadelphia in 1787. In 2018, a 

similar meeting took place when 

Convention of States President 

Mark Meckler and former U.S. 

Senator Tom Coburn appeared on 

Fox News Life, Liberty & Levin with 

long- time Article V Convention of 

States advocate Mark Levin.

For the full hour, these political 

thought leaders discussed the state 

of American politics and how to stop 

an overreaching government bent 

on our nation’s destruction. Like the 

Founders, they unanimously believe 

a Convention of States is essential 

to halting government growth and 

tyranny.

“If you dig in, what you fi nd 

historically is we have created 

a structural problem. It’s not a 

personnel issue,” Meckler said, 

“We’ve actually broken the structure 

of our government.” 

Sen. Coburn tried to correct the 

nation’s course in the Senate for ten 

years concluding, “What’s wrong 

with our country isn’t going to get 

fi xed by the career politicians that 

are in the Senate or the House. So I 

left looking for another method with 

which we can cheat history and not 

be a republic that falls. We need the 

decision-making process to be closer 

to the people instead of unelected 

bureaucrats. We have a solution that 

will actually solve this great problem.”

Thankfully, the solution can be found 

in Article V of the Constitution, 

which gives the people, acting 

through their state legislatures, 

power to call a Convention of 

States for the purpose of proposing 

amendments to restrain

government tyranny.

Mark Levin pointed out, “Today 

the Supreme Court amends the 

Constitution, Congress passes

statues that amend the Constitution. 

[Article V of the Constitution] is 

a legitimate way to address eff orts 

to act outside the Constitution 

boundaries.”

Meckler explained, “This is, by the 

way, why the left opposes us so 

much because they have been doing 

this for over a century. They amend 

through the courts. Over 250 

[leftist groups] signed a press release 

together attacking [a Convention of 

States] saying... this is intended to 

reverse 115 years of progressivism. 

“And we say, ‘yes, it is!’ ”

This leftist opposition can’t stop 

the growing momentum of the 

Convention of States, which boasts 

over 3.5 million supporters across 

the political spectrum. 

“This is a fi ght about who decides - 

Washington, D.C., versus the people. 

The Framers answered that question 

very clearly at the beginning of the 

Constitution in big bold calligraphy, 

‘We, the people decide,’ ” said 

Meckler.

Sen. Coburn added, “The American 

spirit is about liberty and freedom. 

This movement is about restoring 

decision making to the states. It’s 

about honoring the vision of our 

Founders that we will decide as 

sovereign citizens of the state. We 

give the power to the government. 

They don’t give it to us. We have the 

right to maintain and focus on our

own freedom and our own decisions 

within our own states.”

This watershed interview brought 

awareness of the Convention

of States Project to a new level, 

dispelled myths, and ended with 

Levin’s powerful admonition: “The 

American people will decide their 

own fate. That’s the bottom line, 

and you two gentleman are among 

the leaders of a movement that is 

showing them the way to do it. Is 

there a solution?” he asked. “Yes. 

Embrace the Constitution.”
