We, the undersigned US citizens, respectfully but urgently petition the State Legislature to exercise its constitutional authority to call for a Convention of the States under Article V of the United States Constitution.

The time for incremental reform has passed. The continued absence of meaningful age limits and term limits for federal elected officials and lifetime-appointed federal judges has eroded public trust, weakened accountability, and concentrated power in ways fundamentally at odds with a representative democracy. No office in a government of the people should become a permanent seat of power, nor should decisions of profound national consequence rest indefinitely in the hands of individuals far removed from the realities faced by the citizens they serve.

We call upon this Legislature to act decisively and lead where Congress has failed. Specifically, we urge you to support a constitutional convention focused on proposing amendments that:

1.     Establish reasonable term limits for members of Congress.

2.     Implement age limits/ mandatory retirement ages and cognitive fitness standards for federal officeholders.

3.     Set defined tenure or age-based limits for federal judges, including Supreme Court Justices.

This is not a partisan demand—it is a structural necessity. The credibility, responsiveness, and long-term stability of our republic depend on restoring balance, accountability, and generational representation in federal leadership.

Failure to act is not neutrality—it is complicity in a system that increasingly serves itself rather than the people. We therefore demand prompt and public action to advance this call.
