FL Senate President Mike Haridopolos has introduced a ballot initiative calling for a Constitutional Convention to be held. Senate Concurrent Resolution 4 would call the convention to formulate a balanced budget amendment.

“These are critical times for our country. The federal government is $14 trillion in debt and leaders in Congress needed the threat of a government shutdown before making a modest reduction in the country’s deficit,” said Senate President Haridopolos. “My call for a constitutional convention comes out of concern that our leaders in Washington won’t do what Florida and other states already do – balance the budget. This resolution is an attempt to force them to do what’s right to save America’s future.”
