We believe Washington, D.C., is broken and will not fix itself. The federal government is spending this country into the ground, seizing power from the states, and taking liberty from the people. We have a solution as big as the problem. |   //**Why Call a Convention of States?**// | | | | {{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/53243/53243_original.png?250x172}} | |Washington, D.C., is broken and will never voluntarily relinquish power, no matter who is elected. It is time for American citizens to take a stand against tyranny and make a legitimate coordinated nationwide effort to curb the power of the federal government. Only a Convention of States has the constitutional power to repair the damage and halt the federal government from eroding the liberties of the sovereign citizens further. |   //**What is a Convention of States?**// | | | | {{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/53244/53244_original.gif?150x112}} | |A Convention of States is a convention called by the state legislatures for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution. This power is granted to them under Article V of the Constitution of the United States. It is not a constitutional convention (Con - Con) and cannot throw out or replace the Constitution. A Convention of States can only propose amendments that fit within the topic of the applications adopted by the state legislatures. Once amendments have been voted on and approved, 38 states must ratify the amendments for them to become law. Therefore, a "Runaway" convention is not possible. |   //**Participate in our Amendment Poll**// | | | | [[https://forms.gle/r2SKpQYkTJSUJHfQ8|{{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/62661/62661_original.gif?150x120}}]] | |There are so many different amendments which may come from the convention, which fit into our three areas (federal term limits, federal fiscal responsibility, and federal jurisdiction). We have come up with quick summaries of a few we have considered and we look forward to sharing our list with our selected commissioners, when the time comes, so they know We the People's wish list.
