MAF Applauds the House of Representatives for passing HCR57
Jefferson City – MO Ryan Johnson, President of the Missouri today issued a statement on the passage of HCR57, the Convention of States Project by a vote 105 to 43. Convention of States Project calls for a convention of under Article V of the United States Constitution with the intention of reining in the Federal Government. The Missouri House of Representatives passed
“Reining in the overreach of the federal government is a top priority. The states can and should assert themselves within our federalist system to force the federal government to balance the budget now and bring to heel runaway deficit spending by amending the Constitution. The Missouri House of Representatives has taken an important step towards restraining Washington D.C.’s overreach by joining with several other states in calling for a convention. I am grateful for the leadership of Paul Curtman and Eric Burlison on this issue” said Ryan Johnson, president of the Missouri Alliance for Freedom.
The federal government has overreached its constitutionally-established boundaries and has its hands in almost every area of our lives. Article V of the United States Constitution allows us to call a Convention of States to restrict the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, to return the power to the states and citizens thereof. Article V requires that 34 states pass similar to identical resolutions to call a convention of states on the same subject, before the meeting will be called. A grassroots organization in over 40 states has been built to support this endeavor.
“Washington D.C. is broken but the Constitution offers a solution bigger than the problem. By joining together the states can amend the Constitution and remind the federal government that it was the states that birthed it not the other way around. Government should be the servant not the master. It is time to restore the balance.”
Missouri Alliance for Freedom is an action oriented conservative policy advocacy and legislative accountability group. MAF works primarily with the Missouri General Assembly and conservative grassroots. Its mission is advocacy and accountability. Its focus is limited government and individual liberty.

Congrats to the COS MO Team! Thank you to all the 105 Reps who voted for We the People!
Hey cliff – hoping you can clear this up for me…
I hear that if we have one of these convention of states things that someone could slip in an amendment when no one’s looking that will require us all to kill our kittens.
I have a kitten, so I can’t sign off on this until I get an iron-clad guarantee that this can’t happen.
IRON. CLAD.
Well done. One step closer to restoring the republic as it was intended to be.
Way to go! Article V is the only permanent solution . “…or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution…” http://www.conventionofstates….
Congrats MO COS team on a resounding victory!!! My thanks also to the 105 reps who made history today & spoke with a loud voice for WE THE PEOPLE!!!
I am very happy to see Missouri take an important step in reclaiming our freedoms. I strongly support the Convention of States Project and feel that it is the only solution for the problems coming from the Federal Government.
The country is indebted to you, thank you MO.
Glad we got it this time around (last year, we had some mishaps in the House). Hopefully, like last year, we should get the Senate. Contact your Senators in Missouri and tell them that you want them to pass this.
Way to go Missouri House. Now on to the Senate and help restore the Republic.

Way to go MO Team! We the People will prevail one state at a time.
California COS team.
Is there a diaper emoji for the John Birch Society and the Eagle Forum guys? They tend to wet their pants at the thought of this stuff.
Congratulations Missouri, USA and COS-MO Team. Also, big heartfelt THANK YOUS to Missouri State House Representative Burlison (the sponsor of the resolution), Missouri State House Speaker Richardson and the other 102 Missouri State House Representatives who voted yes on the resolution last Thursday (04/21/2016 on the House floor. http://www.cosaction.com/?recruiter_id=1501881
Congratulations, Missouri, and good luck in the senate! With the Grace of God, we here in Arizona will be able to join you and the millions of patriots across the country who are fighting The Good Fight to rein in an out-of-control federal government addicted to borrowing money it doesn’t have, creating an incomprehensible mountain of debt that future generations will be forced to climb. Finally… a solution that’s as big as the problem… http://ConventionOfStates.com
Congratulations! I hope and pray we can spread the news and help people to understand the seriousness of socialism.
Keep it up Missouri!!! We need you. Almost every major problem facing our country can be traced back to the unconstitutional overreach of the federal government. The Convention of States Project is the only solution big enough for the problems in our country. We must use Article V of the US Constitution to bring the power back to the people through the states. Please learn more and join me and the liberty loving volunteers in this amazing grassroots movement.
