The COS Colorado Veterans Coalition is managing this campaign, in partnership with the COS Legislative Liaison Team.
It has been determined that nine Colorado Legislators who are members of the State, Military & Veterans Affairs Committee need to receive a mountain of letters from COS Supporters, namely YOU. This is the committee that is able to hold hearings and sends the COS Resolution to the legislative floor for a chamber vote. We are taking action and planning now to educate these nine committee members about Convention of States.
Look through the 8 sample letters below. Use the wording as-is or personalize them. Type them or hand write (hand-written letters are powerful). Use these sample letters as guides to make them more relevant to the specific State House Representatives and State Senators in the Colorado State Legislature.
To download any of these samples, right click and select download or save image (depending on the device you're using) and then you can print (B/W to save ink) or view when you're writing your letter. You can save them all and use them for future letter-writing. You can also piece together your own letters with different points from the letters to convey what you want to get across to your legislators.
Remember, you are writing to State Representatives and State Senators. These are not the national U.S. Congress people that you see on the national news. State Reps serve the State of Colorado, the Colorado Constitution, pass state laws and resolutions and they serve at the Capitol in Denver.
