The People Have Spoken

The Trafalgar Group is highly respected because of their accuracy in predicting election outcomes 21 days before election day. You can view those results HERE).

What is Convention of States and why should you care? Convention of States is a national grassroots organization based on Article V of the US Constitution whose mission is “to build a grassroots army of self-governing activists.” COS seeks to help states pass a resolution calling for a Convention of States to suggest amendments to the Constitution that would:

1) Impose fiscal restraints on the federal government
2) Limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government
3) Limit the terms of office for government officials, including members of Congress.

These three objectives have never been more important for America. Though COS has made progress in the face of considerable opposition, passing the Resolution in 19 states so far, it is critical to keep the momentum going! 

Don’t be misled by the criticism you might hear. Many well-funded organizations who prefer the status quo have waged strong arguments against COS. Educate yourself. Find out the truth about the negative spin the naysayers are spewing.
