Americans are irate and disgusted with Washington, D.C., and polls show congressional disapproval at more than 60% (Reuters/Ipsos and Economist/YouGov).
Americans across party lines feel that our system of checks and balances has become dysfunctional, with unelected bureaucrats and lobbyists wielding too much power.
A U.S. President can be elected for two terms, totaling eight years in the Oval Office. However, more than 60 members of the House and Senate have been in office for at least 24 years, some for as many as 40 years!
Do these lengthy terms make any sense? Americans are tired of government overreach, a soring national debt, and politicians who enrich themselves durning their long careers in office.
More than three million Americans now support a Convention of States to reqoranize the power structure in Washington, D.C., and preserve liberty.
The public is invited to a free nonpartisan presentation about Convention of States on Monday, May 21, at the Poway Library Community Room. Everyone in attendance will receive Convention of States handouts and a current progress report.
