If Dems lose ONE more state legislature, GOP could push Constitutional Amendments unopposed!

One of the more interesting results of the shocking 2016 election is that Dems have lost control of so many state legislatures that we’re within just ONE more of being able to start a “Convention of States” unopposed.

Democrats now control only 13 state legislatures (26%). If they lose 1 more they fall below the % needed to stop constitutional amendments.

This is the process provided by the Founders in Article 5 of the Constitution whereby three quarters of the states can vote to propose and ratify amendments to the Constitution. This is how the ever expanding power of the government into our lives could be stopped and rolled back to what the founders intended as the balance of power between the states and the federal government.

Mark Levin explains here how a Convention of States is Constitutional and could reverse the unending growth of the federal government. We also have a great FAQ about the Article Five Convention process here.

How about a balanced budget amendment?

Congressional term limits?

Requiring Congressional approval of all rule-making by federal agencies?
