The recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) held at the Gaylord from Feb 21-24, 2024 exhibited the continued formidable presence of Charlottesville radio host Joe Thomas.
Relentlessly, day in and day out, Joe Thomas shares that Convention of States is the solution as big as the problem in Washington DC, located only a few miles from the Gaylord.
Every photo in the collage below has a common element: a sign promoting Convention of States.
Free Media Exposure for COS
Imagine the scene. People are walking by. What activity is going on here? A live radio show? Ooo, who's talking? Wait, I know that politico!
Meanwhile pictures are being taken of that interview by the passers-by and shot through social media: look who I saw. That COS sign is in all those photos going out through the social media of the passers-by.
Not only that, but for Joe Thomas, someone is shooting pictures to put out on Joe's social media which allows that COS sign to explode on their social media, as it did mine since I follow Joe.
For days, nearly every time I picked up my phone, there was another photo of that COS sign hovering over yet another great interview.
Each time followers reacted and commented about the interview, the COS sign was pushed further through social media.
That's the outreach influence Joe Thomas knew would happen for COS. That is free advertising for COS! Thanks, Joe!
Impact on State Legislators
State legislators are uniquely and purposefully empowered by Article V of the Constitution to rein in Washington DC.
The COS resolution has not yet been passed in Virginia.
Even though Joe Thomas previously has talked to the legislators about COS, the sign is a pointed reminder that he continues to call them to take action on DC.
Virginia state legislators that Thomas interviewed at CPAC under the COS signage were Delegate Frietas, Delegate Peake, and Senator McGuire.
Thomas also interviewed political personalities who are running for office, and many with a national presence who have a large outreach. Thomas also interviewed everyday citizens, like the infamous Coach Joe Kennedy.
Joe Thomas long-time COS promoter
In fact, Joe Thomas has been in the trenches with Convention of States for years.
Knowing the impact he can make to steer the course of America back to its Constitutional foundation, Thomas regularly and freely discusses Convention of States on his radio show.
Often Thomas interviews national figures from Convention of States, like National Legislative Strategist Rita Peters (from Virginia), and President Mark Meckler (who calls Virginia his second home due to frequent visits to extended family).
In fact a couple of years ago Meckler appeared on the show for an interview, only to surprise Thomas with the Benjamin Franklin Award for Journalistic Excellence.
Having fully earned that reward, Thomas did not merely sit back for having attained. He only presses further on. There is a republic to save.
Joe Thomas keeps raising the bar with new ideas to promote Convention of States.
For example a couple of years ago Thomas coordinated with local Convention of States Virginia volunteer Nancy Koenig who helped him create soundbites of COS factoids to use as PSAs on his radio show.
On COS Virginia's 2024 Rally Day in Richmond, Thomas interviewed our headline speaker, National Advisor to Convention of States, Rick Santorum.
