Article V of the Constitution offers the single best \\ \\ remedy for the crisis our nation is facing. The most important thing you can do to be a part of the solution is to tell \\ \\ your elected state legislators your position. Please act now and sign the petition below. \\ \\ Thank you for your commitment to restore constitutional government.\\ \\ Dear [State Representative],\\ \\ Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt, combined with \\ \\ crushing regulations on states and businesses, is a recipe for disaster. I am proud that my state legislature has done its \\ \\ part to implement the process the Founders gave us—Article V of the U.S. Constitution—to allow the states to act as a \\ \\ final check on Washington, D.C., by proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. I support this approach, led by \\ \\ the Convention of States Project, of calling an Article V Convention to propose only amendments that would impose \\ \\ fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials.\\ \\ If you were one of the legislators who helped to pass this resolution in our state, thank you. If not, please visit \\ \\ conventionofstates.com to learn more about Article V and the Convention of States Project.\\ \\ Either way, I ask that you continue to study the momentous problems we face as a nation and that you begin to consider \\ \\ and explore various amendments that our state might propose at the convention and support at the ratification stage of \\ \\ the process—amendments that will restore meaningful limitations on the federal government.\\ \\ Thank you for your service to the people of our district.\\ \\ Respectfully,\\ \\ PASS\\ \\ LEARN ABOUT ARTICLE V\\ \\ The Founders gave us Article Vin the Constitution for a reason.
