Americans have a problem -- namely, the federal government.
A near-record number of Americans (34%) have named "the government" as our nation's top problem, according to a recent Gallup survey.
This is only the third time since 2001 that government has cracked 30 percent.
It isn't a partisan question, either. Both Democrats and Republicans are about as likely to name government as our top problem.
Clearly, our country is in trouble. As the federal government increases its power, Americans become more disgusted with what's happening in D.C.
In order to keep the republic, we must pull ourselves out of this spiral.
The Founders gave us an Article V Convention of States for exactly this situation -- to propose constitutional amendments.
These amendments can limit the power of D.C., get federal bureaucrats out of our daily lives, limit the terms of office for federal officials, and force Congress to be fiscally responsible.
With a smaller, more responsible federal government, the American people will be free to stop worrying about D.C. and focus instead on improving their communities, neighborhoods, and states.
