Building professional, personal, and productive relationships with state legislators and staff is vital to the success not only of calling an Article V convention, but initiatives such as 34|Ready and F3 legislation. You have the opportunity to hear from the man who leads one of the most effective legislative teams in COS.
Dale Clary, Legislative Liaison for COS Louisiana is the featured guest on the latest episode of "Grassroots Groundbreakers". Listen by clicking here.
Host and COSA chief grassroots officer Mike Ruthenberg talks with Dale -- an attorney and outdoorsman -- about this year's session of the Louisiana legislature, visiting with legislators in their district offices as well as in Baton Rouge, and volunteers being prepared and presentable when meeting with state representatives and senators.
Dale also discusses how the COS Louisiana legislative team of volunteers meets monthly to strategize, and shares many of the innovative ideas that have led to great success.
Louisiana passed the COS resolution in 2016 and a resolution for selecting commissioners to an Article V convention in 2018. But the Louisiana COS team has continued to make its presence well-known in Baton Rouge, and their work yielded significant progress in 2024 alone.
HB 763, an election integrity legislation bill, passed the Louisiana legislature and was signed into law by Governor Jeff Landry on June 11. Also, HB 114, which establishes a clear process for updating the state’s voter rolls, passed the legislature and also received Landry's signature on June 11.
Legislation that bans international government organizations such as the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and the World Economic Forum from asserting any jurisdiction in Louisiana was signed into law by Landry on May 28.
All of those bills were vigorously supported by the engaged Louisiana team.
Dale shares a wealth of useful information for grassroots that has proved fruitful and can be applied in each state as volunteers establish the vital outreach and connections that will lead to 34 states calling for an Article V convention.
