====== Government overreach has gone too far ======



----

|Are you frustrated by the current environment with government stepping into everyone’s lives in Nevada?\\ \\ We are a grassroots organization and need your help. There are many ways you can become involved, from signing a petition to volunteering for key leadership positions.\\ \\ The mission of our organization is to build the largest and strongest grassroots army of citizens to help restore self-governance.\\ \\ **Why?**\\ \\ Help bring power back to the states and the people, where it belongs. Bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., should not make sweeping decisions that impact millions of Americans. But right now, they do. Who do you think should decide what is best for you and your family? You, or the feds?\\ \\ **Who Makes It Happen?**\\ \\ The American people! The Convention of States Project is first and foremost a movement of grassroots citizens who are fed up with business as usual in D.C. We are funded by thousands of everyday patriots who have committed their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to protecting liberty for future generations.\\ \\ **What Is a Convention of States?**\\ \\ Many people do not know this fact! Article V of the U.S. Constitution gives us the power to call a Convention of States to propose amendments.\\ \\ It takes 34 states to call the convention and 38 to ratify any amendments that are proposed. Our convention would only allow the states to discuss amendments that, “limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, impose fiscal restraints, and place term limits on federal officials.”\\ \\ We cannot count on Congress to put forth any amendments that could jeopardize their future work or paycheck! There is another avenue that the Founders of this country put into place via Article V Convention of States.\\ \\ **When Did It Start?**\\ \\ The Convention of States Project began in 2013. With over four million supporters nationwide, we have petition signers in every single state house district across America. We are actively working in all 50 states to pass the Convention of States Application.\\ \\ Fifteen States have passed to move forward to a Convention. Nevada is not one of them, yet. That is why we need your help!\\ \\ **How You Can Help**\\ \\ - [[https://conventionofstates.com/take_action|Sign the petition]] to show your support for having Nevada being a participant in the Article V convention. \\ - Email or call your [[https://www.votervoice.net/COSACTION/campaigns/58057/respond|state legislators]] assigned to your district mailing address. \\ - [[http://www.conventionofstates.com/take_action|Volunteer your time]] in your local community.\\ \\ //Susan Thiel is a Content Writer for Convention of States Nevada.
