To: Repeal The 17th
The State resolutions calling for an Article V Convention of States must all use the same language.
- Impose fiscal restraints on the Federal Government;
- Limit the power and jurisdiction of the Federal Government; and
- Limit the terms of office for federal officials and members of Congress."
Any proposal not within the stated purpose of the Convention of States (fiscal restraints; limits on power and jurisdiction; limits on terms of office) would be unauthorized, rejected, and not approved by the Convention of States.

Where does this language come from? To be honest, it's a relief to see that language.

The language was agreed upon at the planning session held last year in Mount Vernon.
