Florida Needs COS Volunteers

Published in Blog on October 01, 2023 by Cynthia Kisby

Suppose that our elite government experts determine that another round of lockdowns and quarantines are necessary for the safety of the population. An energy emergency requires that you may not heat or cool your home, and you are only allowed to drive three miles per day.

Your children are required to keep secrets from you about beliefs that you reject.

In order to control unlawful drug money all currency has become digital, and now the central bank controls your spending.

This may sound apocalyptic, but do you ever ask yourselves what the future will look like if an unopposed government is in charge of everything?

We did not ask for the demise of electric light bulbs and gas-powered vehicles. Who did?

How on earth do some groups motivate their activists to be so visible and passionate? That’s a question that we constantly discuss in our COS meetings. One recurring lament is that we have no one to follow up on ideas, no one to do the work. Is fear or hope the better motivator? 

Self-governance is hard work. Self-governance means you.

We need people who are already on social media to post comments, memes, or links in support of term limits, fiscal responsibility, and less federal overreach. If you are on Instagram, Truth Social, Rumble, X, or any other social media, please consider joining COS as a social media warrior.  

COS provides training so that volunteers are familiar with our talking points. You can assist other volunteers in making telephone calls, attending events, collecting petition signatures, and block-walking to educate citizens about Article V. We share info at veterans’ organizations, gun shows, flea markets, and lots of fun local celebrations.

We need people who are able to stop in and say hi to their local legislators. It’s especially easy to visit them when you do not have a complaint or request. All you have to do is drop off some COS information and make sure your representatives know that we appreciate their support.

If you prefer to stay home, consider being a Prayer Warrior or Tele-patriot. If you are sociable and love parties, review the Events Coordinator position. Explore volunteer opportunities here. 

Our Grassroots Coordinator is the person who helps screen new volunteers and get them engaged with an appropriate mentor. She’s looking for help. This Take Action page describes leadership positions that may intimidate you. Fear not, we will consider you for support positions for District Captain, Veteran Coalitions Leader, and Communications Coordinator.

If you love the freedoms this country offers, it's up to you as a citizen to defend self-governance. It's under attack and we are outnumbered. We look forward to welcoming you to a dedicated team of patriots.

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]
