TELL TEXAS LAWMAKERS: Rescind calls for an Article V Convention!
We the People of Texas will not allow unelected, unaccountable delegates to write their agenda into our Constitution. The Texas Legislature must stand firm for our democracy and rescind our state’s call for an Article V Convention immediately.
There’s a major threat to our democracy on the horizon that you should know about – and extremists in our legislature have brought it to Texas.
Exploiting never-before used provisions of Article V of our Constitution, 28 states (including Texas!) have signed on to an effort that would allow unelected, unaccountable delegates to rewrite the Constitution with zero checks and balances.
During the 2017 session, the Texas Legislature passed a resolution calling for an Article V Convention. And with only 6 more states needed to sign on, and with conservatives controlling a historic number of state legislatures, we need your help now more than ever.
No convention has ever been called under Article V for a reason: there is just too much at stake.
Speak out against this attack on our Constitution: Tell Texas lawmakers to RESCIND our state’s call for an Article V convention >>
