States Unite To Limit Federal Overreach and Spending

The federal government stands at a crossroads, with lawmakers in the Carolinas rallying to take back power from Washington by calling for a convention to amend the U.S. Constitution.
In a bold move, North Carolina state Rep. Dennis Ridell, a Republican, has spearheaded a resolution that has already passed the House and is now in the Senate, urging for each state to join a nationwide effort to limit the federal government's spending and authority.
This resolution comes in response to the staggering increase in national debt, which has ballooned from $24 trillion in 2020 to a staggering $37 trillion today. Ridell emphasized, "If you think that is sustainable and that’s not a problem, you are living in a fantasy world."
The proposed convention aims to address three critical issues: imposing term limits on Congress, instituting fiscal restraints on the federal budget, and curtailing government overreach. Ridell rightly pointed out that the status quo has failed to provide solutions, stating, "We don’t have to sit by and wait for Washington to get it right."
Following suit, South Carolina is also moving forward with similar measures, actively engaging in discussions that echo the same resolute principles. Legislators are increasingly recognizing the importance of empowering states to reclaim their authority and rein in federal excesses.
This grassroots movement resurrects the founding principles of American governance, emphasizing that states have the constitutional power to change the very framework under which they operate. With 19 states already on board, the momentum is building for a convention of states that could profoundly reshape the relationship between Washington and the states.
As Republicans continue to rally behind these initiatives, it’s clear that the push for state-led amendments is not just a response to the growing federal overreach, but also a clarion call for responsible government accountability. The time for action is now—a chance for American citizens and their elected representatives to ensure future governance remains rooted in constitutional fidelity and the values that built this nation.
