The old adage that time flies when you're having fun certainly applies to the dynamic Article V Scholar Seriesthat wraps up tonight, December 3.
Introduced on Constitution Day this past September, the Article V Scholar Series is a magnificent set of short videos that explain the Article V process and answer objections, myths, and lies from opponents about an Article V convention and even the origin of the Constitution itself.
Produced by COSA Video Production Director Garrett Humbertson, the series consists of visualizations of essays written by constitutional scholars such as Robert G. Natelson and COSA's own Michael Farris that are all under ten minutes in length.
The last installment -- "America's Soul Sickness" by COSA vice president for legislative affairs and constitutional attorney Rita Peters -- premieres tonight, December 3, at 5:00 ET.
Be sure to enjoy this top-shelf writing and production, and share your favorite series videos with state legislators and their aides, fellow COS volunteers, and those who are new to the movement or interested in joining.
To join the movement to call an Article V convention to make the ideas and concepts discussed in the Article V Scholar Series a reality, sign the petition below:

Petition your state legislator
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:

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]
