Convention of States Arizona Team's First Appearance at American Legion National Convention

The Convention of States Arizona team set up a booth at the 2021 American Legion National Convention in Phoenix. This marked the first time Convention of States had a presence at the National Convention.

Up until 2021 Convention of States had only been present at state conventions.

This was the first event for new Arizona Event Coordinator David Wardle, but he took it in stride working through the paperwork details of both American Legion and Convention of States organizations.

COS District Captains, the Legislative Liaison, and the Grassroots Coordinator all volunteered for booth duty, and some drove more than 100 miles to Phoenix.

After the event the team had a debrief session to better understand what went right, what didn't, and how to smooth out the process for the next big event.

One surprising result was how few Arizona veterans came by the booth. Most of them were from out of town or out of state.

One of the Arizona veterans that came to the booth was Jack Holder, the last surviving Pearl Harbor veteran. Jack asked a lot of questions and signed the petition.

The Arizona team is proud of the results of their efforts and expect to be able to build on this team effort to enhance outreach to veterans by Convention of States.

Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and businesses is a recipe for disaster.

What is less known is that the Founders gave state legislatures the power to act as a final check on abuses of power by Washington, DC. Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention to proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. This process does not require the consent of the federal government in Washington DC.

I support Convention of States; a national movement to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.

I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution calling for this kind of an Article V convention. You can find a copy of the model resolution and the Article V Pocket Guide (which explains the process and answers many questions) here: https://conventionofstates.com/handbook_pdf

I ask that you support Convention of States and consider becoming a co-sponsor. Please respond to my request by informing the national COS team of your position, or sending them any questions you may have:

info@conventionofstates.com or (540) 441-7227.

Thank you so much for your service to the people of our district.

Respectfully, [Your Name]
