The effort was sparked by former President Obama’s governmental expansion and advocates said that a Convention of States is still needed under President Trump because Congress shows little sign of shrinking the government and turning power back to the states.
Longtime advocate and top conservative radio talker Mark Levin said, “You want to hear the biggest news today, the very biggest news today? The Texas House just passed Article V Convention of States resolution. The Senate already passed it. So, Texas is state number 11, state number 11 out of 34 needed.”
