OUR PLAN
Reaching Our Awakening People
Millions of Americans are concerned about the financial state of our federal government and the failure of our elected officials to enact solutions. According to Gallup, Americans are now more than twice as likely to identify themselves as conservative rather than liberal on economic issues, 46% to 20%.
Dr. Emily Ekins, PhD, Director of Polling at the Cato Institute analyzed the 63 million Donald Trump voters in the 2016 election and determined that approximately 56% of them, totaling 35.3 million voters, could be classified as either staunch conservatives or free marketeers. Both groups share an overwhelming opposition to tax hikes, increases in government spending, and the proliferation of business regulations.
Millions of our citizens seek action. The Article V process is underway. But there is no comprehensive solution around which to coalesce their efforts. The 
to The U.S. Constitution recommended here will offer the first comprehensive, constitutional solution to the nation’s fiscal difficulties, all of them. This initiative will provide that solution and reach those millions of people with specifics.

We Propose To:
The changes we propose will require a powerful coalition to accomplish. We are building support and endorsements from affinity groups for each part of the reforms, and hopefully by challenging these groups to think and act outside their stovepipes, build support for the package of amendments as a whole solution.
Target groups will include major national issue-oriented affinity organizations with millions of members in each of the five problem areas of…
- SPENDING AND WASTE
- TAXATION
- ACCOUNTING
- SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE
- REGULATORY REFORM
In addition, we are recruiting distinguished American citizens to serve as a Board of Advisors. This will be individuals with leadership and long experience in federal budget and management issues, including former senior administration officials and members of Congress.
This coalition will seek to convince every state supporting a Convention of The States to adopt a resolution in support of The 
. We will begin with states like Florida and Texas that traditionally embrace fiscal responsibility, with legislative meetings, testimony, and public education on the importance of meaningful fiscal responsibility and constraints.
To help popularize and fully detail the problems with the current system and how The will fix things, we plan to write, publish, and promote a book tentatively entitled WE THE PEOPLE AND OUR MONEY; WHAT WE MUST DO TO FIX OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
The book will be accompanied with a marketing campaign to “sell the problem and the solution” in a popular fashion and leverage and build grassroots support for the outreach of the coalition to state legislators and other key stakeholders. It will also boost the coalition social media campaign to help with the objective of reaching millions of Americans and building a regular audience for the project’s activities, as well as showcasing the growing progress and support for the BOFR.
