As we draw near to the establishment of a convention of states for the purpose of proposing amendments to the US Constitution, we will draw increasing criticism.

This criticism can be ignored or confronted. Ignoring it will likely bring increasing opposition, while confrontation could also bolster opposition.

How might we avoid these unwanted results? One way is to make clear our objectives and motivations. Familiarizing others with the Core Values listed above might go a long way to this end.

The first value listed is to "Preserve Constitutional Originalism." The U.S. Constitution is under constant assault. The goal of COSA is to restore and preserve our Constitution as written.

Article 1 of the Constitution gives law-making responsibilities to Congress. Most of our laws are not being created by Congress, however.They are being created by "executive orders" and bureaucratic regulations.The court system also legislates from the bench.

Article V of the US Constitution specifically dictates two methods of amending our Constitution.The first way is through Congress, and the second is through a convention of the states through applications from two-thirds of the state legislatures.

Our goal is to preserve the Constitution as written by using the second part of Article V of the Constitution. What could be more righteous and more honoring to our Founding Fathers? What could promote liberty more?
