I am pleased to be a new Convention of States volunteer. Because this is my first post, I would like to take a moment to explain why I have joined COS.
For 20 years I have watched as the D.C. establishment has become increasingly corrupt even while displaying breathtaking incompetence.
The D.C. establishment conducts forever wars without an obvious strategic purpose or a plan for victory.
The D.C. establishment increases the national debt at an ever-accelerating rate (currently it is an astounding $27 trillion).
The D.C. establishment presides over an increasingly outdated and ineffective bureaucratic system, which micromanages the country from Washington, DC.
The D.C. establishment fails at most of what it does.
In the past few years, we have learned that many in D.C. are becoming rich selling our foreign policy to the highest bidder.
The bottomline is that the politicians, bureaucrats, and the rest of the D.C. swamp have formed their own class, working for the advancement of their own selfish interest.
The D.C. establishment is not working to promote the best interests of the American people.
If the D.C. establishment is ever to serve the American people again, the change must be imposed from the outside.
The only way to accomplish this huge task is with an Article V Convention of States, which is the fail-safe in the Constitution that enables Americans to get the federal government under control.
I have joined COS to fight against a corrupt status quo.
I have joined COS to fight for a federal government that works for the American people and not the other way around.
I have joined to help make a difference that will improve the lives of my fellow citizens.
Join me by choosing a volunteer position that most interests you. Together we will rein in federal tyranny.
