Some have suggested that Congress might simply refuse to call an Article V Convention of the States, even if it receives 34 applications from state legislatures for a convention. While we agree that Congress is generally disinclined to relinquish its own power (which is precisely why an Article V Convention is necessary), it is a settled matter of constitu…</description>

To Save America, we are building a grassroots army of self-governing activists.

The success of our efforts will rest on the culture of our growing organization. Our values define our culture, and we&#039;re confident you will find our Core Values consistent with the principles that built the framework of our nation and ha…</description>

THE JEFFERSON STATEMENT

On September 11, 2014, some of our nation’s finest legal minds convened to consider arguments for and against the use of Article V to restrain federal power.
