** South Carolina Governor pens POWERFUL letter supporting a Convention of States
------------------------------------------------------------
Last month, the South Carolina state legislature became the 19th state in history ([link removed]) to call a Convention of States to rein in federal power. Just a few weeks later, on April 13, Governor Henry McMaster penned a POWERFUL letter to show his support for the legislature's decision. We've included an excerpt below.

After the American Revolution, the sovereign States—through their people—held all governmental powers. For the convenience and good of all, they assembled to create a new government—national in scope—and gave it only specific, enumerated powers to perform certain functions, such as establishing a military force, creating a common currency and a uniform system of weights and measures, and regulating interstate commerce—functions the States could not efficiently perform individually.
These powers are listed in Article I. The States retained all other powers—all of them—to themselves for their sovereign exercise. Two years later, ten amendments were added to make even more emphatic the strict limits on the new national government’s power.
Thusly were the liberties of future generations to be preserved, protected, and defended.
Over the years, South Carolinians, like all Americans, have witnessed an unprecedented expansion in the size and scope of this federal government. Along with increasing instances of overreach and intrusions into the affairs of—and matters expressly reserved to—the States, we have observed, with little-to-no recourse, the federal government spending and borrowing money at dangerous levels to fund this growth in government.
Efforts to rein in federal spending and reduce the national debt have repeatedly met resistance from the parties in power at the time
