States Are Waking Up -- They Can Stop Our Federal Government Overreach

Executive amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, 3500 new business crushing regulations, the feds attempting to regulate our local police departments—all within the last two weeks! State governments are waking up to the fact that they have the power to stop this federal overreach, regain state sovereignty, and bring power back to the people through use of a tool our Constitutional Framers gave them for just this situation, an Article V Convention of States (COS). Recently, Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin, a vocal supporter of a Convention of states, addressed the annual conference of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), an association of state lawmakers. He demanded that the hundreds of lawmakers in attendance “take your power back.”
On December 7 and 8, the third meeting of The Assembly of State Legislators, took place in Washington D.C. This gathering of state legislators from more than 30 states continues to make rules for an anticipated Convention of States. Currently 3 states have passed the COS application and it is working its way through 29 state legislatures. As Mark Levin told the ALEC members,"You are our last line of defense of liberty.” He is right.
