Good Morning Rep.

I thank God that you have come to this position for such a time as this.

You may already know this, but I just wanted to remind you if you may have forgotten:

Please vote NO on HCR2041 an Article V Constitutional Convention on Congressional Term Limits. We have term limits every election. There is no way to limit an Article V Convention. Conservative Supreme Court Justice Scalia called an Article V convention a “horrible idea”. After the convention is convened the Convention will set its own rules and agenda. Liberal states like California and New York will all be there with radical agendas to eliminate the Electoral College and repeal the Second Amendment.

More importantly, I think we should ask ourselves why are they proposing an Article V Constitutional Convention?

Could there be something more that they have planned?

Here's the truth, It is clear that we have a runaway government. What has it run away from? The Constitution, as given to us by the Founding Fathers.

The abuses of power that has been taken are often referred to as “big government.” If these trends continue, the future looks very bleak, and we may all soon be living under totalitarianism.

History is not kind to societies that tolerate big government. Lord Acton warned, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Since it is obvious that out-of-control big government will not restrain itself, 

something must be done — quickly! That's where you come in.

IS THE SYSTEM BROKEN?

Many voters put all their trust into a political party, in hopes that it will fix 

Washington. However, our runaway government is not a partisan issue, as both 

major political parties have helped grow big government by not following the 

Constitution’s limitations.

Without limitations, the American Republic ceases to exist. But the Founders 

gave us Article VI to ensure limitations were enforced.

You can track which congressmen are following these limitations through the 

Freedom Index, a scorecard published by The New American magazine that 

shows how every member of Congress voted compared to what’s authorized 

by the Constitution (see TheNewAmerican.com or TheFreedomIndex.org). This is regularly handed out to constituents across the nation so they can see how you vote. I know you'll do right according to the Constitution, I am just making you aware.

If a majority in the House of Representatives would uphold their oath 

as required by Article VI and vote against all legislation not authorized by the 

Constitution, Freedom Index scores would skyrocket and the federal government would shrink dramatically.

The Constitution has the solutions for the problems in our government.

For instance:

• Congress has the constitutional power and duty to regulate the courts (Article III, Section 2), by which it can rein in judicial activism.

• The House of Representatives controls the purse strings (Article I, Section 7), and therefore can rein in unconstitutional executive branch agencies.

• Congress can also remove any federal official by impeachment (Article II, Section 4).

And if Congress is negligent in its duties and unfaithful to the Constitution, We 

the People of the states have the power to replace the entire House of Representatives and one third of the Senate every two years. In other words, we have the power to “fix” our government whenever we choose, by using the constitutional tools our Founding Fathers gave us.

So, in essence, we don't need another solution... we just need to use the one we have.

Thank you for your time and the correct decision to vote no to fundamentally changing our nation by changing the Constitution.

Sincerely,

CJ Wallace
