Convention of States Action

Honoring His Oath With A Jeep Inspired Adventure

Published in Blog on February 03, 2023 by Wendy Richards

More than fifty years ago, Buddy J. Wolfe Jr. swore to support and defend the Constitution when he enlisted in the Army in 1971, serving in the Armor Division. It is an oath he thoroughly believes never expires. Now, as a disabled veteran, he has found an innovative way to continue honoring that oath.

In 2018, Buddy saw a Facebook post about the effort to call a Convention of States (COS) to return powers to the states as granted in the constitution. He was so impressed by the COS effort, he wanted to give it his full support by becoming a District Captain. Unfortunately, health challenges derailed his initial plan to support COS.

Buddy was injured during a training exercise to prepare for the rescue of hostages during the Iranian Hostage Crisis. Since that time, he has repeatedly beat cancer. Buddy is now cancer free, but frequently needs his wheelchair to get around.

With the admirable support of his youngest son, Joshua, who also serves as his VA caregiver, Buddy is determined to continue supporting and defending the constitution.

We recently caught up with Buddy for a quick interview at a Jeep event in Mt. Dora, Florida, which he and his son referred to as their test run.

Buddy is now focusing on being a Jeep enthusiast, enjoying life in retirement, and supporting COS by engaging with American citizens and spreading awareness.

He and Joshua are going to be setting off to see the country, attending various Jeep events along the way. Their goal is to encourage people they meet to support the Article V Convention of States at every stop. Buddy will also be posting his adventures from the road on his personal Facebook page, Buddy J. Wolfe Jr., if you would like to follow his progress.

Buddy will officially be kicking off his Jeep inspired adventure at the Jeep Beach 2023 event in Daytona, Florida, April 23-30. Those who attend can look for the COS flags flying on the back of Buddy’s Jeep in the middle of the NASCAR stadium infield. Take a moment to stop by and visit with this inspirational disabled veteran and show your support.

Learn more about how Article V allows citizens to work with legislators at the COS Take Action page. You can follow Buddy’s lead by signing the petition to support Convention of States as well.

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.
