We are sure many legislators frequently hear constituents expressing a desire for someone to “do something about that mess in Washington.” Supporting Convention of States expresses the willingness for state legislators to exercise the proper role in protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States by using the constitutional “check” that was provided to us by our Founding Fathers to exercise control over a runaway federal government. 

Today, the federal government makes too many of the policies that belong to the states under our Constitution. When policies are made closer to home, at the state level, regular citizens have far greater access to the process and an opportunity to have their voices heard and considered.

Nationwide polling conducted by Trafalgar Group revealed that nearly 2/3s of the American people–across party lines–support a convention of the states for the topics stated in this resolution.
