Coburn - The Number One Problem in D.C.

___The number one problem in Washington, D.C. is career politicians want re-election more than fixing problems with America. According to former OK Senator Tom Coburn, MD, the problem will best be fixed by an Article V Convention of states. He is referring to the second way that the U.S. Constitution is amended: 2/3 of the states (34) propose amendments to the Constitution. The Congress proposing amendments fails when the needed amendment will limit their power or term limit. An Article V Convention of states becomes necessary to impose term limits for Congress and the courts, limit spending (Balanced Budget Amendment), reform the tax system, etc. See the book Liberty Amendments by Mark Levin for possibilities with explanations why they are needed.

___Currently 37 states have endorsed an Article V Convention of states in at least one part of their state legislature.

___As with amendments proposed by Congress, amendments proposed by an Article V Convention of states must still be ratified by 3/4 of the states. The founding fathers made change difficult. They were very gifted, intelligent men!
