A reading of the grievances listed by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence shows an eerie similarity to the current political climate in Biden's America. Here are just a few:

  * **He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.**
    * We the People are sick and tired of the double standard where political opponents of the swamp are persecuted unjustly while the "elite" get to do whatever they want without regard to the law.

  * **He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.**
    * 87,000 new IRS agents? Really?!

  * **He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation.**
    * The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, despite the efforts of the WHO and the CDC to infringe on the rights of We the People under the guise of "public health," which is the biggest sham of an excuse for overbearing bureaucrats to flex their muscles.

  * **For imposing taxes on us without our consent.**
    * $1.9 trillion stimulus package, $737 billion so-called Inflation Reduction Act, $7 billion and counting in aid to Ukraine. All these spending packages just increase the national debt and saddle the American taxpayer with onerous tax bills extending for generations. When does it end?

  * **For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.**
    * We the People have not forgotten about the January 6 defendants. When do they receive a fair trial?

  * **For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.**
    * The overbearing three-letter federal agencies need to be curbed, and in many cases abolished completely. Bring the decision making back down to the state level and stop with the endless regulations from on high.

  * **He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.**
    * Antifa, MS13 and other "useful idiots" - we see what you're doing with the open borders and free flowing immigration.

  * **He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us....{towards the} destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.**
    * Sensible people can see past the class/race/etc. divisions being stoked by the swamp, which fears a united populace.

A Convention of States is the perfect remedy to curb federal overreach. Had enough? [[https://conventionofstates.com/|Sign the petition]] and join us!
