A nation united: 10 states considering Article V, more to join in coming weeks - Convention of States

A nation united: 10 states considering Article V, more to join in coming weeks - Convention of States:

"We the People are standing up, fighting back, and reclaiming our heritage, and that national heritage knows no state or regional boundaries. The states created the federal government, and gave it limited enumerated powers. Congress and the President have far exceeded these powers, with the cover of the federal courts. But We the People have reached the limits of our patience and tolerance. And we intend to use the power reserved to our state legislatures in Article V to call a convention to propose amendments to restrain the federal government.

Do we have the support of the majority of Americans? Absolutely. According to Gallup, 66% of Americans think the federal government is too big, and too powerful. That number is so large that it clearly crosses political, ideological and geographical lines in America."
