“An out-of-state wealthy special interest group is coming into Minnesota today to push for dangerous legislation that could put our civil rights and liberties on the chopping block, threaten the strength of our republic, and silence everyday people’s voice in government,” writes Annastacia Belladonna-Carrera in the Minnesota Post.    

I had to smile when I read her piece and realized she was talking about me and my organization.  Yesterday, I was in Minnesota representing the Convention of States, a grassroots organization that’s getting America back on track.  Far from being “wealthy special interest group,” we are a collection of Americans fed up with an over reaching federal government and are finally using the Constitution to do something about it. Nothing more.  Nothing less.

I wish all of you could have been at the amazing rally we had today at the capitol in Minnesota.  Thankfully, we “Facebook-lived” it, so you can get a taste of what happened there:

(Want to see something fun?  Go to the 41 minute mark in the above video to see Fox News personality Pete Hegseth, a native Minnesotan, talk in support of this effort.  And, no.  We didn’t pay him.  He travels around on his own dime, because he knows this is the only way to save our Republic.)

The rotunda was filled to capacity with COS supporters, and they loved Pete.  (One of my favorite lines is when he said “we need a revolution without the bullets.”  Couldn’t have put it better myself.  And I have to say, he was a hard act to follow.) Of course, three members of the John Birch Society actually did show up in opposition.  If you read the article I linked to above, you’ll see they stand shoulder to shoulder with the Soros-funded group Common Cause.  Go figure.  The John Birch Society and Common Cause standing together against the only Constitutional Solution big enough to solve the country’s problems.  Weird bedfellows, right?

I personally engaged all three of the JBS guys in attendance.  And while they profess loyalty to the Constitution, strangely, they use the same talking points as Common Cause and all the other leftist groups in opposition.  And when confronted with this fact, they simply refused to talk about it.

It’s a strange thing to see guys who claim fidelity to the Constitution standing on the same side as people who have been working for decades to undermine the rule of law in America.  But those are the facts, on the ground, all over the country.  The Anti-Constitutionalists now are comprised of the John Birch Society, Eagle Forum and every single radical leftist group in America.  Makes you scratch your head to see it.  (Want to know more about how all these groups are now working from the same leftist playbook?  Read the definitive piece authored by David Horowitz, the premiere expert on the American left.)

Anyway, it’s great to be in the wonderful state of Minnesota…  and I can’t wait until it becomes the thirteenth state to pass a Convention of States resolution.
