TOPEKA, KS, May 16, 2018 – Convention of States, a national effort to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, has now received three endorsements from Kansas gubernatorial candidates: Kris Kobach, Jeff Colyer, and Ken Selzer.

A poll sponsored by COS showed more than two-thirds (67%) of Kansas voters (Democrats, Independents, and Republicans) favor passing the Convention of States resolution. The resolution calls for fiscal restraints on the federal government, limits on the size, scope and jurisdiction of the federal government, and term limits on federal officials, such as Congress, the judiciary, and bureaucracy.

“America’s Founders never intended for the federal government to have the centralized and concentrated power that it has today,” said Gov. Jeff Colyer. “The slow creep of big government control and bureaucratic meddling should signal to all the states that now is the time to reassert our power by calling a Convention of States.”

Kansas Secretary of State, Kris Kobach stated, “I’m officially endorsing the Convention of States. I don’t see any other way to restore the original meaning of our Constitution and our constitutional liberties.”

“I’d be supportive of the Convention of States here in Kansas,” expressed Ken Selzer, Kansas Insurance Commissioner. “I believe that people need to understand that there are so many controls that a convention could not run amok.”

“Every Kansas senator I have met with in the past four years agrees that the federal government is on an unsustainable path,” stated David Schneider, COS Regional Director. “It is time for the legislature to support the will of voters and vote in favor of a resolution that will return power stolen from Kansas voters by the federal government and unelected swamp dwellers.”

Twelve states have joined this effort, including Kansas neighbors like Oklahoma, Texas, and Missouri. It takes 34 states to make application for a Convention of States, at which point the states meet to discuss and propose amendments to the Constitution.

Kansas has held votes in both its House and Senate with both votes garnering majority of each chamber, but not the required two-thirds needed per the Kansas Constitution.
