Convention of the states could power a national solution

Posted

Recently Michael Delavar submitted a letter urging Rep. Liz Pike, R-Camas, and by extension everybody, to oppose the upcoming convention of the states. 

I found it ironic that a perpetual candidate who presents himself as an alternative to the failed establishment in both political parties would oppose the only realistic  instrument in play that has the possibility of constraining the federal behemoth that is slowly drowning us in debt, among other failures.

The fact that our Legislature is incapable of discharging their duties in a responsible manner is exactly why this convention is desperately needed. Hopefully, the majority of our states can muster the courage to help restore a balance in our nation.



I suggest that everybody read the “Liberty Amendments” which is the source of this movement. You can find the entire text online. History shows that  government cannot reform itself; there is no evidence that they see a problem. We the people must stand up and take our country back.

To date, 12 states have endorsed the convention of states to consider these amendments. This is not a constitutional convention. We are in big trouble as a nation and the states have the power to provide a solution.
