“The Convention of States Action movement, in a race against time, strongly urges the NC State Senate to pass HJR 235 as authorized under Article V of the Constitution. This resolution aims to rein in our out-of-control government. One proposed Amendment seeks to curb the Government's wasteful and often unconstitutional spending, increasing our $34 trillion national debt at a staggering rate of $833 million every hour. Moreover, the U.S. is burdened with over $2 billion in daily interest expenses on that debt.
This exorbitant daily expenditure is not just a number. It's resulting in increased government borrowing, printing money, and taxes, directly affecting every American citizen's standard of living. Moreover, billions of our tax dollars are being sent to foreign countries that are committed adversaries, further exacerbating the situation. These countries are using your money to fund terrorist activities against us.
Case in point: Since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, the United Nations has delivered more than $2.9 billion in cash to the country, a significant amount of this money coming from U.S. taxpayers. An unknown amount of this money has ended up in the Taliban-controlled central bank of Afghanistan.
While the U.S. State Department previously stated that no U.S. funds went directly to the Taliban militant group, a recent federal report indicates that taxpayer money has indeed reached the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan bank. Additionally, the Biden administration has provided over $2.35 billion in taxpayer dollars to Afghanistan since the Taliban regained control in 2021.
We are calling upon our state Senators to pass HJR 235 this session to end these wasteful and inappropriate expenditures. We call upon NC's citizens to recognize their power and responsibility. Contact your Senator today and urge him/her to do all they can to make this happen. Your voice can make a difference.”
