U.S. Rep Todd Rokita today issued the following statement in support of Indiana State Senate Majority Leader David Long, and other members of the Mount Vernon Assembly, in pursuing a state-led constitutional convention as specified in Article V of the U.S. Constitution.

"Presently, a constitutional convention of the states is one of the best remedies that can restore the vision our founders had for our great Republic. Change that great must come from the people demanding it, and a constitutional convention is a giant step in that regard. I thank Senator Long, and all others, for their efforts in leading this mission," said Rokita.

The Mount Vernon Assembly will be meeting this week, on June 12 and 13, in Indianapolis.
