Article V facebook.com/conventionofstates/ twitter.com/COSProject instagram.com/conventionofstates/ https://conventionofstates.com/ The Plan Let's Connect! The Convention of States grassroots army supports a national effort to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress. Advocating for Government  Close to the People  “The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or,  on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing A                        which in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress.” Follow the Money Who Decides? Whom do you want to make decisions for you?   At Convention of States, we advocate for self- governance. That means policies that govern our everyday lives are made at the state and local levels, where ordinary people can have more influence.  You Decide. Democracy in Action Over half  of the required 34 states have already passed an Article V Convention of States resolution.  Over 2.4 million signatures  are on   the Article V Convention petition in all 50 states. 10,000 volunteer leaders  + thousands of volunteer activists Supports   minority representation Why Call for a Convention of States? Real solutions to real problems Here's why  Truly Nonpartisan No “social policy” decisions. Period.  The Convention of States will  ONLY propose amendments  that: 1. Impose  fiscal restraints  on the Federal Government  2. Set  term limits  for elected and appointed officials 3. Limit the  power and jurisdiction  of the Federal Government Runaway Convention? State legislatures  - not special interest groups -  control the delegations 3/4 of the states (38 states) must ratify any  proposed amendments The Convention  will only propose amendments  on limited topics. If you are still concerned,  be involved in the conversation . More perspectives provide an excellent check during the convention.  By limiting federal taxing and spending, we can shift  more of the fiscal decisions to the states . Legislators will be able to serve their constituents more effectively.
