Taking Action to Defend the Constitution

Peter Rykowski

The U.S. Constitution is under attack. On one hand, the federal government is blatantly ignoring its constitutional limitations, usurping power not delegated to it by the Constitution. On the other hand, certain individuals and groups — many of whom are well-meaning — are pushing false solutions such as an Article V Convention, or Con-Con, that threatens the Constitution and the God-given rights it protects.

Thankfully, members of The John Birch Society (JBS) and other concerned patriots are standing up to defend the Constitution from this two-pronged attack. And as they inform Americans about the dangers of a Con-Con, along with the proper solution to federal usurpations, they are seeing an increasing number of victories in this battle.

Defeating the Con-Con in Ohio

One such victory occurred this year in Ohio. On May 24, the state Senate General Government Budget Committee held a hearing on Senate Joint Resolution 4, which follows the wording of Mark Meckler’s Convention of States (COS) application, urging Congress to call a convention to propose amendments “that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of office for its officials and Members of Congress of the United States.”
