The Federal Government Is Out Of Control, And It Doesn’t Seem To Be Getting Better. What Do We Do? With Mark Meckler and Mike Farris

The Convention of States is an emergency brake for a runaway train. The state legislatures have the power to limit the scope of the power of the federal government. Time is short, and Congress clearly isn’t interested in limiting the Federal Government. We have a better way to do this, and we need to get involved to help this movement grow. Listen to gain a better understanding of the process and the power you have in your hands as “we the people.” Politics is the victory of those who participate. Let that be you!
