It's time Montana joined Convention of States!
 > 🚨 MOMENTS AGO: Convention of States Passed through the Montana Senate Committee 6-4, our first committee win of the year! It now goes onto the full Senate and would be transferred to the House side after that. Congratulations to the Montana team on this critical first victory! > — Convention of States (@COSProject) January 24, 2023 Congress and its bureaucrats will never limit their own power. They will continue to spend irresponsibly and take over policymaking in areas like education and commerce–issues that should be left to the states and local governments. The only way to correct this is from the outside–and the states have the power to do it through Article V of the Constitution It’s time that Montana joined with the 19 other states planning an Article V meeting to propose constitutional amendments that will put the brakes on the federal government. WHAT IS A CONVENTION OF STATES? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAEVecIqrns&t=14s WHY CALL A CONVENTION OF STATES? It's simple: to bring power back to the states and the people, where it belongs. Congress and its bureaucrats will never limit their own power. They will continue to spend irresponsibly and take over policymaking in areas like education and commerce–issues that should be left to the states and local governments. The only way to correct this is from the outside–and the states have the power to do it through Article V of the Constitution. We're halfway to our 34 state goal, and Montana can be a part of this change for 2023 by adopting the COS resolution. Want to learn more? Check out these additional resources on Article V.  HOW WOULD A CONVENTION OF STATES WORK?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n82exC6zLqA WHAT OUR OPPONENTS SAY If you’ve heard from the John Birch Society that Article V of our Constitution can’t be trusted, it’s important for you to know that they are borrowing from the talking points of the radical Left. Don’t fall for it. Our Founding Fathers gave the states the Article V convention process for such a time as this–they knew the national government would eventually try to overpower the states. This process it the last real “check” the states have left to impose reform on Washington, D.C., and protect the powers and rights of the states. All of the objections and arguments have well-researched answers, given by actual constitutional experts. Would it help to know that statesmen and experts you trust are behind this effort? Here’s a list of some of our more famous endorsers! The Tenth Amendment sets forth an important principle of our constitutional system: that powers not delegated to the national government are reserved to the states and the people. Article V’s convention process is the process given to the states to enforce that principle. It’s high time we used it.
