Mark Meckler | The Constitution's Secret Weapon | Anatomy of the Church and State #29

Anatomy of the Church and State


Anatomy of the Church and State

Episode 29 with Mark Meckler

Christian and Co-Founder of Convention of States Action Mark Meckler joins the show to share how his conversion to Christianity influenced his political activism, the role of churches and pastors in our fight for freedom and liberty, the rise and fall of the Tea Party and how to avoid the same pitfalls, and how invoking Article V of the U.S. constitution might be our best and only shot at curbing the tyranny of our federal government. We also discuss how YOU can get involved in the fight!


Mark started his career as an internet attorney with extensive experience in technology law and later went on to co-found the Tea Party Patriots, the largest Tea Party group in the United States. After he left the Tea Party he teamed up with Michael Farris to found Convention of States Action.
