Hear Convention of States Project co-founder Michael Farris and Andrew Schlafly, son of Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly, debate real solutions to the growing federal government overreach.

The free event is hosted by the New Jersey Convention of States team on May 13 from 7-9 p.m. at Christian Community Chapel in Hillsborough.

“I’m looking forward to the opportunity to elevate debate on this extremely important issue,” said Farris. “A Convention of States is the most effective way to preserve liberty in this country, and I hope you’ll join me in seriously considering this tool the Framers gave us to halt the out-of-control federal government.”

New Jersey Convention of States Project leader, said, “Our founders wrestled against tyranny and extreme power grabs, which is why they built checks and balances into our system of government. They understood that, ‘We the People’ should have ways to abolish repressive government and repeal invasive laws.”
