States have the power to check federal encroachment

The Founders believed that a limited government would provide the greatest protection of liberty for you. There are checks and balances between the branches of the federal government where power is to be shared and between the states and federal government, with the federal government only exercising those powers specifically granted in the Constitution.

Collusion in Washington, D.C., has replaced these checks and balances.

The federal judiciary supports Congress and the White House in their increasing attack on the role of the states.

Washington, D.C., will never voluntarily relinquish meaningful power—no matter who is elected. The only rational conclusion is: unless some political force outside of Washington, D.C., intervenes, the federal government will continue to bankrupt this nation, embezzle the legitimate authority of the states and destroy the liberty of the people.

Instead of securing the blessings of liberty for you, me and all future generations, Washington, D.C., is on a path that will enslave all Americans, our children and grandchildren.

The protection of liberty requires that power is strictly limited and delegated. Remember, the states created the federal government. The states working together have more power than the federal government.

The problem is big, but you and I have a solution. Article V gives us a tool to fix the mess. The state legislatures can call a convention to propose amendments to reign in the federal government.
