Congress will NEVER reform itself, or the problems we are facing, without another option. Our government is trillions of dollars in debt (and is just going deeper!). Career politicians are more interested in holding power instead of representing We the People. Non-elected officials have the power to make federal laws with little-to-no oversight. COVID policies and other hot-button issues have continued to divide our representatives. **Our broken federal government has simply gotten too big to manage**.

It's time we used Article V to change this with three core action items:

  - ****placing term limits on federal officials****
  - **imposing fiscal restraints**
  - **limiting the power and jurisdiction of the federal government**

Over 2.4 million Americans just like you agree and have **signed the petition** to call a convention of states from every single state house legislative district in the country, including [[https://conventionofstates.com/endorsements|a few names]] you might recognize, like The Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro, Actor Kirk Cameron, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Over 5 million have voiced their support for the movement, and [[https://conventionofstates.com/states-that-have-passed-the-convention-of-states-article-v-application|19 out of 34 states]] have already passed the Convention of States Resolution. 

> "I was taught the only way to change the Constitution is to get the consent of Congress. But if Congress is rotten, why would Congress ever reform itself? It never would." - Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson Today with COS President Mark Meckler

YOU can be a part of this growing movement, too, to show Washington that **"We the People" are coming to take our country back!**\\
