Lou Oberman, Convention of States Project, to Speak on May 26th - Join Carlsbad Republican Women on May 26th to hear Lou Oberman, District Captain, speak on the Convention of States, a project of the Citizens for Self-Governance.
The title of his presentation – “The Solution–As Big as the Problem!” Citizens for Self-Governance believe we need to return our country to its original vision of a limited federal government that is of, by, and for the people.
Article V of the Constitution allows us to call a Convention of States to restrict the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, effectively returning the citizens’ rightful power over the ruling elite.
