Real Clear Politics recently average all Congressional job approval polling data and found that 73.3% of Americans disapprove of Congress, and only 16.3% approve.
You may not be surprised by this number – Americans haven't been happy with their federal officials for a long time, and, considering how they choose to spend our tax money, it isn't difficult to understand why.
But did you know there's a way to fix the mess in Washington, D.C.? And did you know you can do something right now to help make it happen?
A Convention of States – called under Article V of the Constitution – can effectively limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government and place fiscal restraints on Congress.
It only takes 34 states to call the Convention, at which delegates can propose amendments to the Constitution that would keep D.C. from abusing its power and destroying the future of our country.
With your help, your state can be one of those 34. Here's what you can do.
- Sign the Convention of States petition.
- Apply to be a District Captain.
We can do something about the problems our country is facing. The people have a voice – it's time to use it.
