Stop ALEC's Constitutional Conspiracy
I'm taking a stand against this backroom attack on our Constitution and the short-sighted balanced budget amendment. I pledge to educate lawmakers and my fellow citizens about the threat of a runaway constitutional convention and take action together to stop it in my state!
Why is this important?
It's the biggest threat to democracy that nobody is talking about.
The same Big Money forces buying our elections are trying to rewrite our Constitution -- and they’ve almost succeeded. They're working with groups like ALEC (the corporate lobby disguised as a charity) to ram a so-called "constitutional convention" through state legislatures.
Exploiting obscure provisions of Article V of our Constitution, they'd grant delegates unprecedented and unlimited power with zero checks or balances. In other words: political ideologues could enact their entire agenda without voter input -- costing the rest of us our fundamental rights and liberties.
This ALEC-led campaign has already succeeded in 27 of the 34 states they need. And, they’ve got the money and organization to go over the top this year. That means we'll be fighting back in states like South Carolina, Wisconsin, Virginia, and more -- and we want you on our side.
We can’t afford to stand by and watch Big Money shred our Constitution. Take our pledge so we’ll be ready to fight back.
