DIY Nation: Mark Meckler at FreedomFest | The BattleCry

Last month COS President Mark Meckler gave an exhilarating speech from the main stage of FreedomFest 2025. He shares how the vision of America isn't about ceding our power to an elite uni-party in a faraway capitol. Rather, the American Founders envisioned a do-it-yourself nation. That's why they included the Article V convention process in the Constitution, so that the people themselves could TAKE their power back.
