All Eyes on Pennsylvania as Convention of States Grassroots Prepare for Capitol Surge Day Event
Pennsylvania, USA — April 9, 2024 — Pennsylvania, the birthplace of Article V, is set to host a pivotal event in the Convention of States grassroots movement. On April 10, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. ET, passionate volunteer activists will gather in Harrisburg for a Capitol Surge Day, advocating for Resolutions HR-106 and SR-77 calling for an Article V convention.
Associate Regional Director Steve Patten emphasized the importance of this event, stating, “This is our chance to send a loud and clear message to Harrisburg that Pennsylvania needs to pass Resolutions HR-106 and SR-77 calling for an Article V convention. And we need your help to make it happen.”
The event will feature Convention of States President Mark Meckler and Senior Vice President for Legislative Affairs, Rita Peters, alongside state leaders, offering presentations before proceeding to the Capitol to engage with members of the General Assembly.
Recent polling from Pennsylvania underscores significant bipartisan support for the COS initiative, with majorities across all political parties standing behind the cause. With Pennsylvania’s historic connection to Article V and widespread bipartisan backing for COS, the time is ripe for the Keystone State to add its voice to the growing chorus of states calling for a convention.
