Take Action
Help prevent US fiscal meltdown.
The most viable path to ending runaway federal debt.
Congress is hopelessly addicted to deficits and debt. Federal debt is at record levels and rising by an astounding $2 trillion per year. We are now spending more on interest payments than on national defense or Medicare. We are no more than 3-5 years from a major debt crisis having serious adverse economic, national security, and domestic tranquility consequences.
More than two-thirds of the States anticipated these threats back in 1979 and again in 2017, applying to Congress as provided in Article V of our Constitution to exercise their equal power to propose the needed fiscal responsibility constitutional amendment. Those concerned about federal debt must face reality. Only a Constitutional amendment can bind Congress. Only the state-lead amendment path can take effect soon enough.
Unfortunately, Congress is more concerned about re-election than the nation’s well-being and has ignored the states’ applications for decades. Congress has failed to adhere to its non-discretionary Article V obligation to call a limited convention to propose a fiscal responsibility amendment. As the ultimate safeguard, all amendments must be ratified by no fewer than 38 states, requiring broad public support across the ideological spectrum.
Because for decades, Congress has evaded its Article V “shall call” obligation, several state Attorneys General are now drafting litigation to enforce state power to propose the needed fiscal responsibility amendment. They need to act if Congress fails to do so.
Our challenge is that few people know that the Constitution provides equal power to the states to propose amendments. And until our legal team first documented this in early 2023, state leaders did not know that the states had submitted the required 34 or more Article V applications many years ago.
