GUEST LETTER TO THE EDITOR, Ken Van Riper, Sarasota, Fla.  

 

Have you paid or do you still pay taxes to be put into Social Security Trust Fund? All of your money has been stolen out of this fund and replaced with IOUs by greedy federal career politicians to fnd their political self interests.

Anyone earning more than $128,400 this year pays no additional Social Security tax even if they earn millions. Those who need Social Security the most pat the tax on all of their earnings while those who need it the least pay tax on only a slice of theirs.

A Convention of States as outlined in Article 5 of our Constitution can ahppen if 34 states agree to do so. Through approved Amendments to our Constitution, We the People can impose fiscal restraints on our federal government, limits its power and jurisdiction, and enact term limits on its officials wihtout federal interference.

More than 250 organizations are against the Convention because they want to control us, but we can counter this by voting for and communicating with our governors, state senators and state representatives.

So far, 12 states have passed Convention of States resolutions, 14 have passed it through their State House, 16 have passed it through their State Senate, and 27 have passed it through one committee or more.

Where does your state stand?

Why don’t you and those who you know take it from here and make it a reality.
