2025 Federal Deficit
Surpasses $2 Trillion
Despite starting the year with $36 trillion in national debt, our federal government has
already
run up a $2 trillion deficit
for 2025, a number that
increases daily
.
Desperate
Americans are turning to their state legislators
for a solution to the
crippling national debt, $107K per citizen, that is growing over their heads.
At least
45 states,
including Michigan
, require a balanced budget
. State legislators
have the authority, using Article V, to call for a convention to propose fiscal restraints on
our federal government.

Urgent Need in Michigan!
With so much nationwide focus on
calling for an Article V Convention it
is critical to ensure that
Michigan
will not be cut out of the
amendment proposing process
.
34 states are required to get
an Article V Convention, but with the
current national momentum that
number could be reached
without
Michigan's involvement
.
It is critical that no constitutional
amendments be proposed without
Michigan having
a commissioner
representing
the
interests of
Michigan's citizens
at the
convention.
34Ready: Michigan's Solution
34Ready Legislation ensures Michigan can be
represented in any Article V Convention.
What 34Ready establishes:
- How commissioners will be selected.
- How commissioners will receive instructions.
- Stated limits on a commissioner's authority.
- Criminal penalties for individuals who attempt to coerce a commissioner.
- Criminal penalties for commissioners that act outside of the authority given to them by the
Michigan State Legislature.
What 34Ready does not do:
- 34Ready legislation does not call for or endorse an Article V Convention.
