Convention of States: Governor Kasich, Senator Coburn Throw Support Behind Constitutional Convention

Convention of States: Governor Kasich, Senator Coburn Throw Support Behind Constitutional Convention

In August of 2013, Victory Girls blogged about the idea of a Convention of States as outlined in Mark Levin’s book, The Liberty Amendments. At first, it seemed like little more than an interesting idea with not much chance of catching steam. But as recently as last week, Republican firebrand, Sarah Palin, jumped on board the COS Train, joining Governor Bobby Jindal and former Governor Mike Huckabee. And now Governor John Kasich of Ohio, whose name has been bantered about as a potential presidential candidate, as well as retired Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn, have thrown their support behind the movement, with specific interest in a Balanced Budget Amendment. From Fox News:

“Who the heck thinks we should keep spending without any regard to the consequences?” Kasich, a fiscal hawk and former House Budget Committee chairman, asked in South Dakota. “I don’t care if you’re a Republican, a Democrat or a Martian. This is not what we should be doing as a nation. It’s irresponsible.”

Indeed. And Governor Kasich has been barnstorming the nation, gaining support for a much-needed Balanced Budget Amendment.
