The unprecedented federal raid of a former president's private home; the intolerable expansion of the Internal Revenue Service; the rogue son of a compromised and corrupt sitting president flitting about without consequence; insider information that enriches the Speaker of the House but would land you in federal prison.
On and on it goes, as the United States “fundamentally transforms” from a representative republic into a banana republic – if we haven't already.
These are, as that former president stated, “dark times” for our country. These are the times that try men's souls.
Now more than ever, an answer from the people is required.
Upon his election as president of the Massachusetts State Senate, Calvin Coolidge declared:
“The latest, most modern, and nearest perfect system that statesmanship has devised is representative government…No nation has discarded it and retained liberty. Representative government must be preserved.”
An Article V Convention of States is the mechanism that the Constitution provides in order that we might retain liberty.
It is the non-violent, nonpartisan method that can be utilized by all of the sovereign citizens, working through our state legislatures, to halt the advancement of globalist oligarchy.
A Convention of States is limited in purpose; that is, to discuss and propose amendments to the United States Constitution that narrow the scope and jurisdiction of the federal government.
Possible amendments could include congressional and/or judicial term limits, fiscal restraints, and restraints upon the administrative (or fourth) branch of the federal government.
At this point in history, opposing a Convention of States is tantamount to discarding representative government. It is surrender to the plundering criminals who infest the federal government and intend to destroy the Republic.
Supporting and working for an Article V Convention of States that will propose constitutional amendments to bring the federal government to heel is absolutely necessary if the United States is to remain a representative republic.
The Founders of this Republic were suspicious of outlandish and outsized central power. They entrusted the people to act when necessary.
It is long past necessary. A Convention of States is the key element in leading the United States out of the darkness.
