Dear Editor,

“We the People of the United States in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice and insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”. (Constitution) We the people, united can make changes to our government. Think about proposing an Amendment to mandate Congress men/women to receive the same benefits as American Citizens such as, but not limited to, Medicare and Social Security benefits, all other benefits shall be nullified. Or, maybe a Fair Tax or Balance Budget Amendment may be proposed.

Article V of the Constitution gives States and citizens the tool to submit an application to “limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government”. Thirty- four states shall convene to debate and propose Amendments such as Congress’s benefits, a Fair Tax and a Balanced Budget, all these subjects are germane in this application. Learn more at www.conventionofstates.com or info@conventionofstates.com

Call your State Representatives to vote “Yes” for Convention of States. Be a part of the solution to preserve our Liberties for our children and grandchildren.

For Liberty,

Susan Valliant
