Get an inside look at our committee victory in Wisconsin!

By now you're probably heard that the Wisconsin Assembly Committee on the Constitution and Ethics voted 5-4 to pass the Convention of States Resolution.

The vote was a crucial step on the road to making Wisconsin the 16th state to pass the Resolution, but we know that for many Americans, the process of passing a resolution can be confusing.

In most state legislatures, a resolution must first be heard by a committee in both legislative chambers (the House or Assembly and the Senate). This committee is a smaller group of legislators that debates and votes on resolutions and bills before they go to the full chamber.

A committee can propose amendments to the resolution, and when debate and amendments are concluded, they take a vote.

That's what you'll see in the video below. We don't hide the testimony of those who oppose the Convention of States Resolution because we know that the truth will prevail -- as it did in this committee hearing!

The fight to pass the Convention of States Resolution is taking place in legislatures like this one across the country. To join the movement in your state, sign the petition below!

Sign the petition to call for an Article V convention!

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]
