Surprise! Biden didn't fix the country. Now what?
The following was written by Convention of States Action

Americans are depressed.
The New Year is usually a time of hope and expectation. No matter
how bad the last year has been, the New Year offers a chance to start
afresh.
In 2021, many Americans pinned their hopes on Joe Biden. The new
president had vowed to end COVID, get our economy back on track, and
“unite” the nation around moderation and a “return to normalcy.”
Instead, we got two new COVID waves, skyrocketing murder rates,
a slumping economy, international embarrassments, and more division
than ever before.
Is it any wonder that more than half of Americans are “fearful"?
for what the year 2022 holds in store for the U.S.”? According to a
new Axios poll, 54% of Americans are fearful about the upcoming year,
an 18% rise since last year. Twenty-six percent more Democrats are
more fearful than last year, and 11% more Republicans say the same.
Turns out, President Biden failed to deliver on his promise to
fix the country. But here’s the honest truth that the partisans on
the left and the right won’t tell you: no president, no matter the
party, has the ability to get our nation back on track.
Sure, we’d be in better shape if Donald Trump had won the elec-
tion. A block of cheese would have done a better job than Joe Biden
over the last 12 months.
But the vaccine that can cure our national malaise won’t come
from Washington. It will come from the people, the states, and the
values and virtues that have made our nation great.
The federal government is both too powerful and not nearly
powerful enough. It has far too much control over the daily lives of
the American people. Politicians like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi can
dramatically change the face of our country with a single piece of
legislation or a single executive order. They can influence what we
buy, where we live, who we work for, and how many kids we have.
Because they have this awesome power, they’ve succeeded in con-
vincing the American people that they can fix our every problem. But
they’re not nearly powerful enough to do that. No matter how hard
they try, they’re incapable of fixing the economy, uniting the coun-
try, or stopping a highly transmissible disease.
There is no magic button in the White House. If the latest poll-
ing is any indication, Americans are starting to realize that.
But that shouldn’t mean we lose hope. Everyday Americans built
the strongest, freest, most prosperous nation in the history of the
world, and they have the power to do that again. How? By reclaiming
their rightful authority in our system of governance.
We must limit the power and size of the federal government and
unleash the industry, ingenuity, and compassion of the American peo-
ple. We must stop looking to the president and start looking to our
neighbors, our school board, and our state legislature. We must re-
claim the freedom that has made our nation great, and we must use
the power the Founders gave us in Article V of the Constitution.
An Article V Convention of States is called and controlled by
the states and has the power to propose constitutional amendments
that shrink Washington’s power and put We the People back in the
driver’s seat. These amendments can limit the terms of office for
dinosaurs like Joe Biden and force Congress to spend our money
responsibly.
This year can be one of hope and new possibilities, but that
hope won’t come from Joe Biden. It will come for you, me, and every
American patriot brave enough to stand up to Washington’s tyranny
and fight back with a Convention of States.
** I don't think anyone is really surprised but We the people,
can't afford to let this inept administration do any more damage
before only God can rescue us.
Pray a lot and put your faith in the Lord.
Conservatively,
John
