At this Convention, the states can propose constitutional amendments that limit federal power and spending, and impose term limits on all federal officials.\\ \\ And the best part? There's not a single thing that Biden and his cronies can do to stop us.\\ \\ The process is well underway. Millions of patriots in 100% of the state legislative districts across the nation are on board. Forty-nine states have filed the Convention of States Resolution, 30 states have passed it through committee, 24 states have passed in an entire chamber, and 19 states have passed the resolution in its entirety. \\ \\ So, what are you waiting for? Sign your name to the petition below to join these national leaders as well as over 5 million patriot Americans around the country.\\ \\ We have the power to fix Washington. We just have to use it.\\ \\ Sign the petition today! See the full text of the petition below.\\ \\ #|PETITION_FORM{petition_tag:E138/23 - Munger Potato Festival;coalition_id:}|# The full text of the Petition:\\ \\ Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and businesses 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 by Washington, DC. Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention to proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. This process does not require the consent of the federal government in Washington DC.\\ \\ I support Convention of States; a national movement to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.\\ \\ I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution calling for this kind of an 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: https:%%//%%conventionofstates.com/handbook_pdf\\ \\ I ask that you support Convention of States and consider becoming a co-sponsor. 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 so much for your service to the people of our district.\\ \\ Respectfully, [Your Name]
