                                       Position of Wisconsin GrandSons of Liberty:

Restoration of the balance of power between the states and the federal government is central to WiGOL's mission. The states calling for an Article V convention is appropriate and correct remedy for the fiscal situation at present. WiGOL endorsed this call for a convention and pledges to work to add Wisconsin's application to the total.
