A New Chapter for Veterans in the Article V Movement
The Convention of States (COS) movement has long relied on grassroots leadership and the dedication of citizen volunteers to advance its mission of restoring self-governance through an Article V convention. In a significant development for both COS and the veteran community, Navy Veteran and long time COS Hawai'i leader Brett Kulbis has assumed the duties of National Veterans Coalition Director—a role that promises to elevate the voices and concerns of America’s veterans within the movement. He relieved Air Force Veteran Rodney Huckleberry.
A Veteran’s Oath the Guiding Principles in Civic Duty and Leadership
Brett’s military background is not just a line on his résumé—it is the foundation of his approach to leadership and advocacy. Having sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, Brett carries this solemn commitment into his work with the Convention of States. In his own words, he is guided by a sense of duty to uphold constitutional principles and resist what he views as government overreach.
This oath, familiar to all who have served in the armed forces, does not expire with retirement. For Brett, it is a lifelong promise that shapes his perspective on civic responsibility and public policy. His testimony before the Hawai'i legislature, where he identified himself as a Navy veteran, underscores his belief in limited government and fiscal responsibility, values rooted in his military service and oath to the Constitution.
Brett believes supporting an Article V Convention of States is the way veterans can continue upholding their solemn oath by working to restore constitutional governance and protect our great nation for future generations.
