Mark Meckler as speaker. "For generations, long before the Convention of States Project, I have joined many of my ideological and political friends in recognizing the need to call an Article V convention. American history and human nature teach us that Washington, D.C. will never actually restrain itself and restore the foundations of personal liberty that the Constitution purports to guarantee. Yet to build out the infrastructure, the organization, and the grassroots army to get it done is a huge undertaking. Today, the Convention of States Project is doing just that, and I'm proud to join with my friends Sen. Tom Coburn and Mark Meckler by endorsing what they are doing. When the actual convention is called to order—and it will be—I'd consider it an honor and a privilege to perform some of the heavy lifting: which is to draft and disseminate proposed constitutional amendments to the states that, in Jefferson's words, will chain down the federal government to the confines of the Constitution." — Andrew Napolitano
