Here's a good word to describe the Convention of States strategy: elegant.
It is a simple, powerful 3-step process that the federal government has no defense against.
- We the People convince our states to call for a Convention.
- The states hold the convention and propose amendments.
- The proposals are either ratified by the states or not.
Three topic areas of debate:
- Term limits
- Fiscal responsibility
- Ending government overreach
Simple. Powerful. Constitutional. And supported by several Supreme Court rulings.
A simple process doesn’t mean that it’s quick and easy to do, of course, but it is a necessary step if we intend to keep on living in a free nation and pass that on to posterity.
Article V is constructed in threes and so is nature. Coincidence?
Here are the court rulings mentioned above.
