HR0926 LRB099 16288 GRL 40618 r
HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The Founders of our country empowered state
legislators to be guardians of liberty against future abuses of
power by the federal government; and
WHEREAS, The federal government has created a crushing
national debt through improper and imprudent spending; and
WHEREAS, The federal government has invaded the legitimate
roles of the states through the manipulative process of federal
mandates, most of which are unfunded to a great extent; and
WHEREAS, The federal government has ceased to live under a
proper interpretation of the Constitution of the United States;
and
WHEREAS, It is the solemn duty of the states to protect the
liberty of our people - particularly for the generations to
come - by proposing Amendments to the Constitution of the
United States through a Convention of the States under Article
V for the purpose of restraining these and related abuses of
power; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
NINETY-NINTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE

HR0926 - 2 - LRB099 16288 GRL 40618 r
SENATE CONCURRING HEREIN, that the State of Illinois hereby
makes application to Congress under the provisions of Article V
of the Constitution of the United States for the calling of a
convention of the states limited to proposing amendments to the
Constitution of the United States that impose fiscal restraints
on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of
the federal government, and limit the terms of office for its
officials and for members of Congress; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State is hereby directed to
transmit copies of this application to the President and the
Secretary of the United States Senate, the Speaker and the
Clerk of the United States House of Representatives, and the
members of the Senate and House of Representatives from this
State; copies shall also be transmitted to the presiding
officers of each of the legislative houses in the several
states, requesting their cooperation; and be it further
RESOLVED, That this application constitutes a continuing
application in accordance with Article V of the Constitution of
the United States until the legislatures of at least two-thirds
of the several states have made applications on the same
subject; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be delivered to
the Secretary of State.
