Chronicling history as it happened

Published in Blog on November 06, 2024 by Matt May

COS took you through the night, and now the sun is rising across the United States of America.

If you happened to miss last night's special election night edition of "COS Live", you missed out on a terrific, fast-paced episode hosted by COSA's own Rita Peters and Andrew Lusch that captured the spirit of the evening and the yield of the resilient work done by the COS grassroots. 

But you can still catch all of the terrific updates about not only what proved to be the historic presidential and congressional elections, but key legislative races that impact the Article V movement and important ballot initiatives from all over the country from an array of dedicated and articulate COS regional directors, staffers, state leaders, Emerging Leaders Program members, and more. Just click here for the live action replay!

The program was a total team effort coordinated with customary excellence by Garrett "Producer G" Humbertson

COSA co-founders and senior advisors Mark Meckler and Michael Farris made appearances and emphasized the importance of the grassroots participation in self-governance that led to so many positive results and great potential for our movement. They reminded us that the work to call an Article V convention goes on -- as Mark said -- "every day, all year 'round." 

Check out the rollicking and inspiring episode of "COS Live" right here

The fun doesn't stop -- don't forget to tune in to "COS at Home" tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET as host Jonathan Viaud will host Rita, Mark, and COSA senior advisor and former U.S. senator Rick Santorum as they break down the election results.

As Mark, Michael, and others stated, our job at Convention of States remains to call an Article V convention in order to fix what Washington, D.C., has broken -- and nearly sent into the darkness.

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:
