Letter to the Editor:

It is exciting to see the interest the Convention of States has garnished. It has been in the Constitution since its inception but has since been forgotten. The Convention of States was put in place by our Founding Fathers because they came from a place similar to what The United States of America has become. They saw the destructive nature of a government such as ours, and supplied us with this wonderful provision, a provision we can and should use to protect ourselves and our future generations.

I urge everyone to embrace this wonderful provision that our Founders left us, the Article V Convention of States. We should all be aware of the reason our founders felt the need to put this in the Constitution, and realize that the only way to rid ourselves of our overreaching government is to utilize the Convention of States.

I urge everyone to go to www.conventionofstates.com and familiarize yourselves with this tool we have been given.
