Make America STATES Again!

For far too long, the federal government has expanded its grasp, encroaching upon the powers and prerogatives reserved to the states and the people. This centralization of authority is not only a betrayal of the constitutional system our Founders crafted, but a clear and present danger to the liberties we hold dear. The solution to this overreach does not lie in hoping for a shift in Washington, D.C., but rather in the states, the originally intended guardians of sovereignty. As James Madison wisely counseled, the states “have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil” of any unconstitutional acts of the federal government.

The Make America STATES Again action project is designed to inspire, educate, and mobilize patriots across the country to restore the balance of power between the federal government and the states. Here, you will find the resources needed to engage in this vital effort — whether by working to pass legislation in your state, educating others about state sovereignty, or becoming a champion of the Constitution’s vision of a limited federal government. Together, we can reclaim the freedoms that federal overreach has eroded, and we can do this by making America STATES again!

Just the Facts: Dangers of an Article V Convention

Convention of States (COS) and similar groups are irritated by stubborn facts: The clear and present danger to the Constitution caused by a convention for proposing amendments is unnecessary, and the safeguards these groups have contrived are unconstitutional. Article V does not provide any of the guarantees promised by those pushing and paying for a convention. Nothing that supports the scenarios, set-ups, and simulations that these groups put forward as facts — not a syllable of constitutional or historical support for their theatrical premises. However, there is irrefutable constitutional and historical support for the right, duty, power, and prerogative of the states to stand as sentinels on the watchtowers of liberty and the Constitution that protects it. States created the federal government, and states drafted the contract wherein the federal government’s “few and defined” powers are listed: the U.S. Constitution. We need not risk calling a convention that would be comprised of corrupt politicians and politically powerful elites slavering to get their hands on the Constitution, particularly the First and Second Amendments. Such a scheme is unnecessary, unproven, and unwise.
