COS Supporter Vice President-Elect JD Vance: ‘We just witnessed the greatest political comeback’

Published in Blog on November 06, 2024 by Jakob Fay

November 6 - The American people have elected Donald Trump and Convention of States supporter JD Vance to serve as the next president and vice president in what Vance called “the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America.”

“Under President Trump’s leadership, we’re never going to stop fighting for you, for your dreams, for the future of your children,” the Senator from Ohio declared in his victory speech early Wednesday morning.

Vance’s support for using Article V of the U.S. Constitution to limit federal spending, power, and terms of office affords the grassroots movement a historic opportunity to raise awareness about COS and advance the cause. The author of the bestselling “Hillbilly Elegy,” Vance blasted “the establishment” in his RNC acceptance speech — a message that resonated with many COS supporters. 

“I grew up in Middletown, Ohio, a small town where people spoke their minds, built with their hands, and loved their God, their family, their communities, and their country with their whole hearts,” he said. “But it was also a place that had been cast aside and forgotten by America’s ruling class in Washington.”

“For decades, that divide between the few with their power and comfort in Washington and the rest of us only widened,” he added. “The people who govern this country have failed and failed again.”

Vance is fueled by the same passion that drives thousands of COS activists and supporters: the unmistakable conviction that the federal government does not govern in our best interests. It’s the beginning of a political and spiritual awakening in America — a rising awareness that We, the People, are better off when we do not depend on the federal government to supply our every need. The American people have entrusted Vance with a mandate not to govern like other elites. If he answers the call, we may yet witness a new birth of self-governance in America. 

“Congratulations America…you’ve earned a new start,” said Convention of States President Mark Meckler. “Now, let’s not waste it. President Trump and COS supporter Vice President JD Vance will do much to Make America Great Again. Our job at Convention of States…to call a convention and pass amendments to Make America Great Again…permanently.”

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:
