Communication is essential for this organization to grow and succeed in our mission! Participate in the tools we have to communicate, Slack, Zulip, Meetings, State Calls, all of these are ways we attempt to communicate with you! Be sure to read/attend them to stay current with what is going on!

South Dakota — House State Affairs Committee — Passed with a vote of 8-5

In an unexpected victory for the Treasure State, the Montana House Business & Labor Committee, which previously tabled our resolution, voted 11-9 to advance House Joint Resolution (HJR) 5, the COS application for an Article V convention.
The bill, which parallels resolutions passed in 19 other states, notes that “the founders of our Constitution empowered state legislators to be guardians of liberty against future abuses of power by the federal government.” It calls upon the state legislature to address the “crushing national debt” and other issues of federal overreach by joining the growing state-led movement to rein in Washington, DC.
The committee voted on Monday to reconsider the measure, which it swiftly passed without debate. Watch the hearing here!
And we’re not done yet. As our legislation continues to progress across the nation, many states are preparing for additional votes and legislative activities in the weeks ahead.
The Trump cabinet is filled with COS supporters - check it out!
Let's all support each other as we grow and mold ourselves to the challenge at hand!
Be sure and stay tuned to your state Zulip channels for all the legislative activity! 
KUDOS to the Top Most Active DC teams by % in the Passed States - IN, LA, , MS, OK, SC! Great Job!!
District Captain and Volunteer activity is something that we really need to focus on, those activity reports are available to communicate to our donors all the great work each of you are doing out there in the trenches! It only takes a second to file an activity report on your phone or computer. And for those District Captains reading this, we need to strive for 100% activity in Citizen Builder!
Congratulations, South Carolina and Texas for gaining 2 new DC's and Florida for gaining 1! We all know the challenges in making this happen!!

We still need your star team members videos from your state as we revamp COSU to make it more current, and timely. Nothing better than Grassroots teaching Grassroots!! Send us your videos even if you aren't sure we can use them, we will use them for one format or another! In case you are wondering what to put in those videos, a man on the street review of a booth set up, how to get a petition signed, how to set up a district meeting, short 3-5 minute videos of you doing what you do every day!

As with Slack, our Zulip users are few but mighty! Let's get our teammates on so we can make it the great communication tool it can be. We would like to see a more robust participation with this new format. Please State Directors and SIA's reach out to your teams and help them get going - the issues seem to be largely surrounding getting signed on initially. Using the Zulip App is much easier than trying to work in a browser. Help your teams use the platform in the most effective way, have them download the app here: Zulip App.
We still need your prayers for Texas as they work with the Texas Public Policy Foundation to drive passing of the new resolution that will effectively end the Sunset Clause. (HJR98 is the bill. The Senate has added a companion bill SJR 54). The bill was heard in the State Affairs Committee last week, we are hoping for a vote this week. if you missed the live hearing, you can catch it here.
If you see a TelePatriot Mission for them or are asked to send an email, please participate! Give Jonathan a call and he will get you set up to help them out. We CANNOT afford to lose this state! Pray! Pray! Pray!
If you missed COS at Home with Cody Vasut, Texas House Representative and our sponsor for our clean (no sunset clause) bill HJR 98 in Texas, here is the recording.
