JBS has always been a deeply authoritarian organization and was alarmist in nature from its founding utterly based on fear of communism. Early on it was standard procedure to oust anyone who disagreed in any way with Robert Welch. The change from pushing for an Article V convention to pass the Liberty Amendment to radical far right views happened around the time John McManus became the public face of the organization, having no formal legal or academic education in the Constitution. He had been in public relations. The position he took that is now their mantra is widely regarded by legal scholars and constitutional experts across the political spectrum as unfounded and highly alarmist.

Imagine telling George Washington, James Madison, and the Framers that they misunderstood Article V.
That’s essentially JBS’s argument.
The men who wrote the Constitution included a Convention of States because they knew Washington could become too powerful.
Turns out they were right.
“If Article V is so dangerous, why did the Framers put it in the Constitution?”

More does not always equal better and just doubling the size of the House actually creates more problems without solving anything. The problem we have is a structural not representational. It is not about how many people they represent, but what powers they exercise.

Most of laws Congress passes are not in their purview and by extension Congress is not authorized to spend taxpayer money on them. Departments and agencies in the Executive Branch have no authority to make law via regulation to impose on the people or on business. The Courts have no authority to grant powers to the other branches, but have and that is what has led to the situation we have where the system is broken and sending more people into a broken system won’t fix anything-it only breaks them too.

Amendments are used for such purposes as clarifying what is already in the Constitution that the federal government has interpreted to give them powers they do not have, overturn the Supreme Court when it makes wrong decisions, or to add a new rule to the Constitution.

Term limits will solve some problems such as the seniority issue in committees that bottles up good or proper legislation, but is only one of the three subject matters in our application for a convention. If you are concerned about lobbyists writing our laws in their favor and against the American people, the way to correct that is to remove the unconstitutional control over the matters lobbyists are there to lobby for and send them back to the states where the Constitution put those authorities, not spend trillions of tax dollars to add more legislators. There are dozens of other reasons why a larger House would be unwise or impractical though.

The Founders never meant for Congress or bureaucrats to become a ruling class. The Convention of States Resolution calls for term limits, fiscal restraints, and limits on Washington’s power. Our petition goes straight to your state legislator. Sign today: https://t.co/YfcUpRGJyP

Your state may be on board, but as a nationwide effort, your petition carries weight in other states when legislators see the growth and number of petitions. It also assures that we keep the pressure on as members turn over in subsequent election cycles. The broad based and growing number of Americans from all corners makes a powerful statement to legislators in states that have not yet passed, but are working toward passage. That is why we continue to gather petitions in every state, not just the ones that are not passed.

Congress will never vote to end its own careers. That’s why the Convention of States Resolution includes term limits for ALL federal officials—including unelected bureaucrats. Along with fiscal restraints and limits on federal power, this is real reform. Sign the petition: https://t.co/9WV7YtZFxs

For decades, JBS has recycled the same warnings:
Runaway convention.
Constitutional collapse.
End of America.
Yet none of those predictions are supported by constitutional law, historical precedent, or reality.
Fear is easy.
Facts require effort.
Twenty states have already chosen facts.
Who’s next?

Integration means becoming whole—bringing together conviction, heritage, character, and purpose into a life that is ordered toward the Good. In a culture that often fragments identity and disconnects people from their inheritance, formation matters more than ever.

That’s why the Emerging Leaders Program immerses students in the principles of Western Heritage, servant leadership, and human dignity—not as abstract ideas, but as truths meant to shape the whole person. As Charlotte Streff, Class of 2025, reflected: “The ELP is not just an internship; it’s so much more than that… Almost anything I do in life from this point on will be partially or wholly credited to the influence of the ELP.”

The goal is not simply career preparation, but the cultivation of integrated leaders who understand where they come from, what they stand for, and how they ought to live.

@Randog1112 They go by JBS in their literature and on their website so most people do know, but their full name is The John Birch Society.

[Convention of States @COSProject]

JBS says they’re defending the Constitution.
So why are they attacking one of the Constitution’s own solutions?
Article V isn’t a threat to America.
It’s a threat to Washington’s monopoly on power.
The Founders gave the states a remedy for federal overreach. JBS wants you too afraid to use it.

It is possible. The states already have the authority for the time, place and manner of conducting elections which would include voter ID. But Congress also has secondary authority to make some election law. An Amendment to remove that authority would fall under reducing the power and scope of jurisdiction of the federal government and a voter ID amendment would remove their ability to interfere or override the states that require it now as well.

[Convention of States @COSProject]

The Convention of States Resolution has 3 subject matters:
Impose fiscal restraints on the federal government
Limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and
Limit the terms of office for its officials and Congress.

Our petition is different—it’s delivered directly to your state legislator. Sign here: https://t.co/9WV7YtZFxs

@capnspi78097 You can sign the petition and uncheck the send me email updates box. Your email is so your legislator can reply to you. You will get a couple of welcome emails but, would not be on the email list.

@Mark7_16 @COSProject @The_JBS Thank you! I support Convention of States @COSProject because I do not believe the Federal Government is capable of reigning itself in. I also don’t believe the voters would put the people in office that would reign in government.

[Cyndi Franco @Franco4COS]

@COSProject @MarkMeckler @theDoveOnline Revolution is not the answer to rein in Congress.

Article V is the solution The Founder's gave us to fix the problems we are experiencing.

Are you ready to take back our country?
Support a Article V Limited Convention of the States.

Integration in statesmanship means bringing together virtue, liberty, service, and truth into one coherent vision of leadership.

ELP alumnus Jack Lindsay highlights how the Emerging Leaders Program forms students through servant leadership, Western Heritage, and the study of America’s founding principles. Rather than treating these ideas as disconnected subjects, ELP integrates them to show how moral character, ordered liberty, human dignity, and limited government all work together to sustain a free society.

A statesman is not simply politically effective, but morally grounded, intellectually serious, and committed to something greater than self-interest.

That is the kind of integrated leadership ELP exists to cultivate.

JBS can’t attack Article V on the merits.
So they paint it with fear.
“Too risky.”
“Too dangerous.”
“Won’t work.”
Underneath the fear campaign is the same constitutional process unanimously approved by the Framers.
If the facts were on their side, they wouldn’t need the scare tactics.
