Update: 6/16/22 at 8pm
After the Convention of States plank was removed by the temporary platform committee on Wednesday, June 15, by a vote of 15-16, COS activists and supporters, like you, sprang into action, working tirelessly to have the COS plank added back into the platform.
Thanks to your hard work, at 6pm this evening, the permanent platform committee voted 22-9 to adopt new language that supports Convention of States, and advocates for the removal of the sunset clause. This was a massive victory for our team and movement!
However, the fight is not entirely over. COS Texas will need all delegates to attend the floor session on Saturday, June 18, and vote in favor of keeping the COS plank in the final platform. Please make sure you join us on Saturday.
Below are the list of committee members that voted in favor of our resolution. If you see your district listed, we strongly encourage you to contact that member, and thank them for their vote. If you do not see your district listed, we suggest you kindly speak to your committee member, and ask why he or she did not support Convention of States. Please always be respectful, even if you disagree.
