Millions of Americans are ready for real change to the system, which can be attained through the goals of Convention of States.  \\ \\ Under Article V of the Constitution, the states have the power to stand up to the federal government by proposing amendments to the Constitution. These amendments, once ratified by 38 states, would force the federal government to follow a balanced budget, adhere to set term limits, and yield power to the states. \\ \\ In order to consider these topics, 34 state legislatures must pass a resolution calling for an Article V convention – and 19 states already have! Additional details on this constitutional process written by the Founding Fathers can be found here. \\ \\ According to 2022 national polling, nearly 66% of Americans support an Article V convention – the majority of both Republicans and Democrats. This is a bipartisan solution to a bipartisan problem. \\ \\ {{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/66667/66667_original.PNG?752x175|Voter Support By Party}}\\  \\ \\ An Article V convention is the ONLY way to bypass the entire federal government and take the power back. \\ \\ The nation’s leading voices are behind this solution, including Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Sen. Rand Paul, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has said the “states need to use Article V to take the power away from DC.” \\ \\ [[https://conventionofstates.com/endorsements|View all endorsers of Convention of States here]].  \\ We’re over halfway to calling a historic Article V convention, but we need your support.\\ \\ By joining the grassroots movement and signing the Convention of States petition, you’ll be part of the only solution as big as the problem. \\ \\ The time has come to use the Constitution to save the Constitution. \\ \\ #|PETITION_WIDGET{petition_tag:EstablishmentNeverChanges;coalition_id:;anedot_url:https:%%//%%secure.conventionofstates.com/establishment-never-changes}|#
