Grassroots celebrate 10 years of COS success in Florida

Published in Blog on February 20, 2024 by Article V Patriot

Convention of States Action was founded in August 2013; eight months later, on April 21, 2014, the Sunshine State became one of the first states in the Union to pass the Convention of States Resolution. This week, on Tuesday, February 20, 2024, the Florida team celebrated an early 10-year anniversary, featuring Convention of States President Mark Meckler as a guest speaker at the annual “Rally In Tally” event.

The historic day kicked off with a sunrise prayer meeting on the 22nd floor of the Florida Capitol Building, in which the grassroots prayed over legislators before campaigning for COS. 

A few hours later, a crowd gathered outside the Capitol to hear speeches from several Article V proponents, including Mark Meckler.

“This is real America,” Mark said, describing the crowd.

“If you want to meet great patriots clustered together, go out into just regular America, small-town America," he continued. “The kind of America that you never see on the network television. You don’t hear about it on the radio. And what you find is still a great hope and great belief for this country."

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:

Thank you so much for your service to the people of our district.
