COS, Meckler at FreedomFest 2025!

Published in Blog on June 04, 2025 by Matt May

Mark Meckler, Steve Forbes, and Adam Carolla walk into a bar in Palm Springs…

While that may have potential as the setup to a really amusing joke, the trio are just three of the featured speakers during the exciting FreedomFest 2025 at the Palm Springs Convention Center in California from June 11 to June 14 – and Mark’s appearance is not all for the Convention of States movement during this massive gathering of influential innovators and thinkers: 

COS is heading to FreedomFest 2025! Our dynamic, eye-catching booth will be on display at the Tradeshow for Liberty Exhibit Hall at booth number 713, well-placed for prime foot traffic and visitors. 

FreedomFest bills itself as “The most amazing mix of 2,000 open-minded and inquisitive people, from business experts, politicians, and entrepreneurs…to influencers, artists, and filmmakers. FreedomFest is independent, non-partisan, and not affiliated with any organization or political party.”

The premise of the event is connecting people from all walks of life in order to empower the protection and growth of individual freedom. 

Several members of the COS national staff who will be on hand can meet with individuals from all corners and philosophies, gather hundreds of petition signers, meet with potential donors, and establish high-level strategic connections. 

Our presence at FreedomFest 2025 will allow us to meet with great numbers of people and discuss how an Article V convention will bring permanent structural change to the runaway federal government, and continue the momentum of building the most effective force of self-governing activists in American public life. 

FreedomFest also boasts one of the most interesting and truly diverse array of speakers that can be found at any such event in all the world: Featured speakers scheduled to appear in addition to Mark include scholar and author Cornel West, former presidential candidate Forbes, and comedian Carolla. Other speakers scheduled to appear are legal scholar Robert P. George of the Convention of States Project Legal Board of Reference, biologist Bret Weinstein, and medical freedom advocate Del Bigtree – just to name a few. 

Fox News Channel host and panelist Kennedy is FreedomFest emcee. 

Convention of States Action co-founder and president Mark Meckler will deliver his customarily uplifting talk from the main stage of FreedomFest. His speech, entitled “DIY Nation – Forcing the Feds Back into the Constitutional Box,” is sure to resonate with FreedomFest attendees and go far in bringing even more prominence to COS and the drive for an Article V convention.

Mark is scheduled to speak at 6:55 ET/3:55 PT on June 11. 

The significant COS presence at this unique event and Mark’s speech are both golden opportunities to advance self-governance and to spread the word about why it is necessary to call an Article V convention to limit the power of the federal government, and to protect and advance our constitutional rights and freedoms. 

Let FreedomFest ring!

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:
