NE Message to Senator Wordekemper

===== 📣 Urgent Call to Action: Contact Your Nebraska State Senator Ask them to support calling an Article V convention! =====

===== Your State Senator serves on the Government, Military, and Veterans Affairs Committee and has not shown support of Article V. Please take a moment to either write a handwritten note, email, or call their office number listed below, or better yet ALL three. =====

===== Phone his office here: (402) 471-2625 =====

===== Office Email: [email protected] =====

When you call, email, or write, speak from the heart — but here are key points you can include:

1. Nebraska’s Time Is Now
“The clock is ticking. Nebraska must take action this session to help call a Convention of States. Please vote YES to move our resolution out of committee in January — our window of opportunity is closing.”

2. Protect Our Nation’s Future
“The economic survival of the United States is at stake. Washington’s reckless spending and growing debt threaten the stability of every household and every generation. We must act now before it’s too late.”

3. Lead With Courage
“We need your leadership and support for the Convention of States. Nebraska can be a voice for restoring balance and accountability in our federal government.”

4. Restore the Constitution’s Original Design
“An Article V Convention of States is the constitutional, peaceful solution the Founders gave us to correct federal overreach. It allows states to propose amendments that would:

* Impose fiscal restraints on the federal government
* Limit federal power and jurisdiction
* Impose term limits on Congress and federal officials”

5. Empower the States to Act
“The Founders gave state legislators the authority to check federal power. It’s time to use that authority. The states must lead where Washington refuses.”

6. Secure Nebraska’s Place in History
“This is Nebraska’s opportunity to stand for liberty and join the nationwide effort to restore constitutional balance. Let’s make sure Nebraska is counted among the states that answered the call.”

Subject: Please Support the Convention of States Resolution

Dear Senator Wordekemper,

I’m writing as your constituent to urge you to support Nebraska’s Convention of States resolution and help move it out of committee this coming session. The clock is ticking, and our state has a vital role to play in restoring balance and accountability to our federal government.

The economic survival of the United States is at stake. Washington’s unchecked spending and overreach are threatening our nation’s stability and the well-being of future generations. It’s time for states to step up and use the power the Founders gave them in Article V of the U.S. Constitution.

An Article V Convention of States provides a peaceful, constitutional path to propose amendments that would:

* Impose fiscal restraints on the federal government
* Limit its power and jurisdiction
* Impose term limits on Congress and federal officials

This is the only real opportunity to restore the original intent of our Constitution and ensure that power is returned to the people and the states where it belongs.

Nebraska has a chance to lead with courage and secure its place in history as part of this nationwide movement for reform. Please vote YES to advance the Convention of States resolution and allow it to be debated and voted on in the full legislature.

Thank you for your service and leadership. I’m asking you respectfully but urgently to stand with the people of Nebraska and support this important resolution.

Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[City, NE]
[Optional: Phone number or email]
