But What About the Government?

We need a structural fix for government. The Constitution provides an answer.

We need a deep, foundational fix for our federal government. Far too often, we settle for trying to treat the symptoms; and that causes us to treat politics like a game of Whack-A-Mole. Whenever a crisis arises, we scramble for a remedy; never pausing to consider what caused the problem. Perhaps that’s why our government looks so distorted, deformed and non-functional today — nobody in Washington is actually interested in fixing the root problems; they plaster over the cracks and leave the major foundational problems to cause a collapse on someone else’s watch.

And how’s that working for us?

As many readers interested in crypto currency and the problems in our financial system already know, we must strip the government of its ability to print money out of thin air. We must stop them from pillaging the financial engine of freedom and prosperity. And we need to keep them out of the development of crypto currency markets.  It’s important, and fundamental, but that’s only addressing one symptom of a broader problem. Even if we ameliorate the government financial problem (and we must), it’s only a matter of time before the government burns our constitutional republic to the ground in some other way.

The government has shown that it cannot and will not rein itself in, or regulate itself, or even follow the laws that it creates. In fact, we see that government actors not only break the laws, but they often create laws that don’t apply to them. Even when the laws do apply, they actively flaunt them. Money laundering and insider trading are par for the course for electeds and other government officials, making them millionaires on regular salaries.  Meanwhile, regular folks struggle to pay the high taxes to support all the graft.

How do we rein this in? Electing the right people plays an important part. But even the “right people” can come and go, and unfortunately, the D.C. “swamp” often outlasts them. For example, how many of Trump’s efficacious policies were swiftly undone by the Biden administration? Or who remembers the Tea Party wave in 2010? Nearly 90 new House Republicans were elected to Congress in the biggest GOP wave in nearly a century, vowing, among other things, to roll back extravagant government spending. And yet, despite their massive gains, they ultimately failed. In 2010, the national debt stood at 13 trillion; today, it has nearly tripled. You see, within a fundamentally broken system, even the best people can only hope to offer a temporary fix. 

Fortunately, our forefathers were brilliant men of tremendous foresight, and they knew this day might come. They knew the federal government might one day enter into a never-ending, self-defeating cycle in which it refused to fix itself, and they gave us everything we would need to deal with it in the Constitution.

Our government has grown far larger than the Founding Fathers originally envisioned. But they provided a remedy should we come to need one.  Through Article V of the Constitution, we can procure amendments that finally put the federal government back in its intended constitutional box, subject to the proper limitations of the enumerated powers.

Article V allows the states to gather in convention to propose amendments that would:

• Impose term limits on Congress and other federal officials, like staffers, bureaucrats and the judiciary.
• Impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, like a balanced budget amendment, tax and spending caps, the imposition of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles on the federal government, and the prevention of the federal government’s attacks on the independence of crypto currencies.
• Impose scope and jurisdictional limits on the federal government, by specifically and constitutionally prohibiting the involvement of the federal government in areas such as education, energy, health care, environment and many others (let your imagination run wild with that one).

The three letter agencies need to go. We need a decentralized government, primarily at the state level, just like we need decentralized money. These kinds of reforms run deeper than the surface, and by calling a convention of the states under Article V, we can make them last. Permanently.

According to Mark Meckler, President and Co-founder of Convention of States Action (“COSA” is a nationwide grassroots movement using Article V of the Constitution to take back our country), “We the People are the only ones who can fix our government structure. It takes more than just electing the right people and praying for a change; we must force that change upon the elites in D.C., because they will never do it themselves.” 

COSA has 20 state legislatures through the full process: first, someone must sponsor a bill then it must pass both houses and the governor must sign it. The tricky part, is that all states must be calling a convention for the same reasons, so COSA provides the framework. COSA is in the process of working these bills through the rest of the states, only Connecticut has yet to sponsor a bill.

I’ve met Mark, and others in the movement, and I can attest that they are the real deal.  I support Convention of States Action and what they are doing.  It’s time to fight smarter, not just harder.  I’m all in.  How about you?

The Convention of States movement, already more than five million supporters strong, needs your assistance. If you’ve had enough of quick fixes and plaster patches on a crumbling foundation, and if you’re ready to rein in the federal leviathan once and for all, now is the perfect time to support Convention of States Action and join Mark Meckler and millions of everyday Americans in pursuit of the Founders’ brilliant cure to out-of-control government.
