Will this mean we can see our legislators again? Will we be taunted to wear hazmat suits and stand on circles? Lord knows.

Nevertheless, this is our fourth consecutive attempt since 2015 to get the Wisconsin legislature (no governor needed) to call this swamp-shrinking Article V Convention of States.

The President and Congress need to be shoved back into a constitutional box labeled "enumerated powers" without unlimited spending. They also need to be kicked out of Washington, D.C., before they become experts at taking advantage of us.

Last year was so close. Wisconsin's Assembly passed our legislation, and we had strong support in the Wisconsin Senate. This year legislation will be introduced early with even more support in place.

We are poised for victory. We will stop the federal government from running us over that proverbial economic and regulatory cliff.

We will stop them from placing minions all over the country to reproduce swamps at every level of government (i.e. WI Health Secretary Andrea Palm, various county employees, some local officials, etc.)

We are the United States of America, not Communist China!

Active teams have been forming all around Wisconsin. They're getting to know local legislators, inviting them to virtual and physical town halls, lining up cosponsors, and helping them understand we can't rewrite the constitution with our specific convention. All we can do is restore the original, and we must.

We're mailing letters, posting online, hosting tables, participating in parades, gun shows, large and small events, capitol surges, house meetings, training, practicing three-minute testimonies, and getting as many people as possible to either Madison, a local meetup, or a virtual town hall.

This is it. This is the moment of truth. Let's get out in front now.

Godspeed,\\

P.S. Remember this equation...\\
34 + 26 + 38 = FREEDOM\\
(34 state resolutions + 26 states approve of amendment proposals at convention + 38 states ratify = self governance restored, societal sanity, and far less scary national elections).
