The "Grassroots Groundbreakers" podcast has returned!
Host and COS Chief Grassroots Officer Mike Ruthenberg welcomes Connecticut COS Grassroots Coordinator Bill Guiffredo to the latest edition of the program. They discuss how to effectively answer common questions about, and objections to, the movement to call an Article V convention to limit the power, scope, and jurisdiction of the federal government.
Bill talks about his success in convincing fellow citizens to sign the COS petition through engaging petition drives during which he actively seeks out patriotic passersby. He also discusses his tactic of stopping at homes whose residents fly the American flag to relate the story of Article V and COS.
Mike and Bill explore the importance of new volunteers developing their COS elevator pitches, observing interactions between more seasoned volunteers and potential petition signers, and studying the fundamentals about the development and adoption of Article V and the Constitution, as well as the responsibilities of the states in adopting the COS resolution.
They also break down Bill's strategies for addressing fears and objections that those who are resistant to the Article V process often express, keeping emotions in check when conversing with opponents, and helping people understand who will serve as commissioners to an Article V convention and how they will be appointed by the several states.
Bill also relates his important advice for convincing individuals to gather the courage to interact with their fellow citizens, advance the COS movement, and make a real difference.
