What is a Convention of States? (with Erika Hatfield)

On Saving America 112, we need a (limited) Convention of States to limit the federal government’s power and funds, and impose term limits on the political class. Erika Hatfield of Convention of States Action – Texas is working to make it happen. As always, the opinions expressed in this podcast are mine and my guests’ and not the opinions of my university, my company, or the businesses with which I am connected. I am an attorney and speaker as well as the founder and CEO of Claremont Management Group, a consulting firm in Houston, Texas. I’m also a tenured professor, the Cameron Endowed Chair of Management and Marketing, and the Director of Graduate Programs at the University of St. Thomas. You can connect with me on LinkedIn [@DavidSchein], Twitter [@DSchein1], Facebook [@AuthorDavidSchein], and YouTube [user/ClaremontManagement]! My upcoming book, Bad Deal for America, explores the high-stakes game U.S. politicians are playing with the taxpayers’ money. The major players, themselves like a deck of cards, have shown us in their own words that the political system is broken. Readers can follow the money to see how some have lived high on the hog while masquerading as public servants. Told in an entertaining and unique way, this book is a call to arms to fulfill the ideals of the founding fathers by holding the political class responsible. My 2018 book, The Decline of America: 100 Years of Leadership Failures, is a thought-provoking, non-partisan book that reviews the last 100 years of American Presidents (from Wilson through Obama), offering not just criticism, but common-sense solutions to help fix America before it’s too late. I also host the podcast Business Law 101, where I discuss the legal concepts all business owners need to know.
