Sick and tired of elections? Convention of States has the solution!
What a contentious election season this has been in Virginia! Anger. Finger-pointing. Accusations. Is this now the trend for all future elections? There are certain to be more disgruntled souls even after the election is over. Then what? However we look at it, most of us are either feeling red (anger) or blue (sadness). And then, despite who becomes our next state leaders, we still have problems in Washington DC:
- a staggering national debt of $20 trillion and growing
- the federal bureaucracy increasing the debt
- Congress controlling states through federal grants
- the federal government taking power from the states
- misinterpretation of the Commerce Clause and the General Welfare Clause, which drives the debt
Instead of feeling red or blue, at Convention of States we are feeling ‘We the People.’ In America we hold dear our power of ‘We the People’ through voting, contacting our elected officials, and even running for office ourselves. However we have forgotten that there is another tool that the People have.
With over $20 trillion in debt and an entrenched deep state undermining the will of the People, it's become clear that Washington, D.C. will never fix itself. But there is a growing movement to restore the Constitution by using the tool our Framers gave us…that tool is an Article V Convention of States.
Through a non-partisan grassroots effort 12 states across America have already called for a Convention of States:
- Georgia
- Alaska
- Florida
- Alabama
- Tennessee
- Indiana
- Oklahoma
- Louisiana
- Arizona
- North Dakota
- Texas
- Missouri
Petitions are in process in several other states, including Virginia. The time is now to call a Convention of States. What can Virginians do?
- Sign our petition. These petitions are automatically sent to your state legislators.
- Join our team to restore limited government, the way the Framers intended!
