The following is from State Director, Chris Walker.
The 2019 Session of the Virginia General Assembly has come to a close. Our resolutions HJ 685 and SJ 268 enjoyed many sponsors, but our cause got lost in the noise.
The nation had its attention on Virginia this year and not because of our outstanding leadership.
While that debacle was going on in Virginia, Arkansas became the 13th state to pass the Convention of States resolution, quickly followed by Utah which became the 14th state!
But what about Virginia?
The legislators who sit on the Virginia General Assembly in Richmond (all 100 delegates and 40 senators) will be up for election in November 2019.
Now is the time to educate your legislators and the candidates who will be running against them about their unique role in calling a Convention of States to rein in the federal leviathan.
You may be aware that Ben Shapiro has been actively promoting Convention of States on his radio show. As a result there has been a huge increase in the petition signers coming into our database.
However, our all volunteer leadership is getting swamped!
Our Convention of States Virginia Action Team tries to call or text or email every new supporter within a couple of days to welcome them and ask that they take action.
Would you give us a hand? We need 200 new District Captains who will help us welcome new supporters and organize their districts to build the most effective grassroots organization in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Success in Virginia requires the same grassroots support that enabled the recent victories in Arkansas and Utah. Our team of volunteers invite you to join them.
