In 2018, a \\ \\ similar meeting took place when \\ \\ Convention of States President \\ \\ Mark Meckler and former U.S. \\ \\ Senator Tom Coburn appeared on \\ \\ Fox News Life, Liberty & Levin with \\ \\ long- time Article V Convention of \\ \\ States advocate Mark Levin.\\ \\ For the full hour, these political \\ \\ thought leaders discussed the state \\ \\ of American politics and how to stop \\ \\ an overreaching government bent \\ \\ on our nation’s destruction. Like the \\ \\ Founders, they unanimously believe \\ \\ a Convention of States is essential \\ \\ to halting government growth and \\ \\ tyranny.\\ \\ “If you dig in, what you fi nd \\ \\ historically is we have created \\ \\ a structural problem. It’s not a \\ \\ personnel issue,” Meckler said, \\ \\ “We’ve actually broken the structure \\ \\ of our government.” \\ \\ Sen. Coburn tried to correct the \\ \\ nation’s course in the Senate for ten \\ \\ years concluding, “What’s wrong \\ \\ with our country isn’t going to get \\ \\ fi xed by the career politicians that \\ \\ are in the Senate or the House. So I \\ \\ left looking for another method with \\ \\ which we can cheat history and not \\ \\ be a republic that falls. We need the \\ \\ decision-making process to be closer \\ \\ to the people instead of unelected \\ \\ bureaucrats. We have a solution that \\ \\ will actually solve this great problem.”\\ \\ Thankfully, the solution can be found \\ \\ in Article V of the Constitution, \\ \\ which gives the people, acting \\ \\ through their state legislatures, \\ \\ power to call a Convention of \\ \\ States for the purpose of proposing \\ \\ amendments to restrain\\ \\ government tyranny.\\ \\ Mark Levin pointed out, “Today \\ \\ the Supreme Court amends the \\ \\ Constitution, Congress passes \\ \\ MARK LEVIN FEATURES CONVENTION OF STATES\\ \\ FOR A FULL HOUR ON\\ \\ //**LIFE, LIBERTY & LEVIN **//\\ \\ **“We need the decision-making **\\ \\ **process to be closer to the **\\ \\ **people instead of unelected **\\ \\ **bureaucrats.

They amend \\ \\ through the courts. Over 250 \\ \\ [leftist groups] signed a press release \\ \\ together attacking [a Convention of \\ \\ States] saying... this is intended to \\ \\ reverse 115 years of progressivism. \\ \\ “And we say, ‘yes, it is!’ ”\\ \\ This leftist opposition can’t stop \\ \\ the growing momentum of the \\ \\ Convention of States, which boasts \\ \\ over 3.5 million supporters across \\ \\ the political spectrum. \\ \\ “This is a fi ght about who decides - \\ \\ Washington, D.C., versus the people. \\ \\ The Framers answered that question \\ \\ very clearly at the beginning of the \\ \\ Constitution in big bold calligraphy, \\ \\ ‘We, the people decide,’ ” said \\ \\ Meckler.\\ \\ Sen. Coburn added, “The American \\ \\ spirit is about liberty and freedom. \\ \\ This movement is about restoring \\ \\ decision making to the states. It’s \\ \\ about honoring the vision of our \\ \\ Founders that we will decide as \\ \\ sovereign citizens of the state. We \\ \\ give the power to the government. \\ \\ They don’t give it to us. We have the \\ \\ right to maintain and focus on our\\ \\ own freedom and our own decisions \\ \\ within our own states.”\\ \\ This watershed interview brought \\ \\ awareness of the Convention \\ \\ **“If you dig in, what you **\\ \\ **find historically is we **\\ \\ **have created a structural **\\ \\ **problem. It’s not a **\\ \\ **personnel issue,” **\\ \\ **Meckler said, “We’ve **\\ \\ **actually broken the **\\ \\ **structure of our **\\ \\ **government.”**\\ \\ of States Project to a new level, \\ \\ dispelled myths, and ended with \\ \\ Levin’s powerful admonition: “The \\ \\ American people will decide their \\ \\ own fate. That’s the bottom line, \\ \\ and you two gentleman are among \\ \\ the leaders of a movement that is \\ \\ showing them the way to do it. Is \\ \\ there a solution?” he asked. “Yes. \\ \\ Embrace the Constitution.”\\ \\ **conventionofstates.com/take_action**\\ \\ info@conventi onofstates.com\\ \\ **Save America’s Future:**\\ \\ 512-487-5525\\ \\ •| ---- | __Page Metadata__ || |Login Required to view? |No | |Created: |2020-07-21 20:34 GMT| |Updated: |2021-07-22 03:00 GMT| |Published: |2020-07-21 06:00 GMT| |Converted: |2025-11-11 12:20 GMT| |Change Author: |Kyle Key | |Credit Author: | |
