Who gets to decide whatโs best for you and your family?
Should you have the power to decide? Or should some out-of-touch bureaucrat in Washington, D.C., have the power to decide?
Itโs time we shift the national conversation AWAY from what government should do to โfixโ our problems โฆ and decide for ourselves whether the federal government should be involved at all in matters that affect us personally!
No matter the political issue of the day, the establishment in Washington loves to deliberate on what they will do. They want the American people to ponder, โWhat will they do?โ They want to keep the American people wondering:
What will Congress do about health care? What will the federal government do about taxes? What will the White Houseโs plan be for education? What will Congress do about the budget?
The list goes on and on.
But every time these issues are discussed, far too many people are asking the WRONG QUESTION โฆ because Congress baits us into discussions about WHAT they will decide.
However, the RIGHT questionโone they do not want us discussingโis: โWHO gets to decide?โ Should the government decide what to do about your health care, or should you and your doctor decide? Should D.C. bureaucrats decide what to do about education, or should you, your spouse, and your childrenโs teachers decide? Should nine Supreme Court Justices decide what constitutes a marriage, or should you, your community, and your state decide? If youโre anything like me, the answer is obvious. Itโs the same answer our Founding Fathers gave when they drafted the Constitution:
โWe the Peopleโ should decide, not some far-off, disconnected government run by out-of-touch elites! But the truth is the Washington establishment will never, EVER limit its own power. We just canโt rely on the politicians who got us into this mess to get us out of it.
We need a solution that will let us go AROUND the Washington political establishment and rein in the outof-control federal government PERMANENTLY. Here at Convention of States Action (COSA) we are
implementing the solution, with the help of a vast army of grassroots citizen activists just like you.
This solution was hidden in plain sight in Article V of the Constitution, and itโs our best and last chance to take the power back from the out-of-control politicians in Washington and safeguard our liberty once and for all. The booklet you hold in your hands contains our Founding Fathersโ antidote and cure for what ails our country.
Please take it โฆ read it โฆ and use it as you talk with your friends and family members about this constitutional solution to take back our great nation.
Yours in the fight,
Mark Meckler
President
Convention of States Action
