BREAKING: South Dakota House passes Convention of States Resolution. "It's time to DO something," legislator says.

We have more amazing news!

Hot on the heels of Wisconsin's historic vote to become the 16th state to pass the Convention of States Resolution, the South Dakota House also passed the resolution.

South Dakota representatives voted 39-30 to pass the Convention of States Resolution (HJR 5001), and now HJR 5001 heads over to the Senate.

During the debate, no opponents rose to speak against the resolution. Only supporters stood, and one of them delivered such an inspiring speech, he convinced several legislators to vote in favor.

"We can't sit by and not speak any more," said Rep. John Mills, one of our resolution's sponsors. "What happens when government grows? Freedom shrinks. I want my kids to have the freedom that I grew up with, and we're not going to get there unless we change something."

Sign the petition to call for an Article V convention!

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: 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]
