I don't want America to become a socialist nation: WATCH grassroots share why they support COS

Published in Blog on April 17, 2023 by Jakob Fay

At Convention of States’ 2022 Reclaiming Liberty Summit in Orlando, Florida, hundreds of COS patriots gathered to fuel up for the fight to save America. We were privileged to hear from dozens of them as they shared their COS stories and what motivates them to keep fighting.

“I spent 26 years in the military,” said Brett from Hawaii. “I understand what it means to be supportive [of] and defend the Constitution. I don’t want our country to turn into a socialist country.”

“If you want to make sure our country is safe for your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and that they don’t end up in a country that is statist, you need to get involved.”


Mark from Massachusetts shared that he is inspired by the nationwide COS network of “patriots that love our country.”

“We’re concerned about the direction it’s going, and we want to make a difference.”


“The solution is so powerful that I really think it will make a difference,” answered Roger from Ohio when asked what first attracted him to Convention of States. “Passing some law in Congress, I don’t know if that’ll make much difference. But when you amend the Constitution [through an Article V convention], you’re structurally changing the legal system of our country. It’s powerful, it’s multi-pronged — you’ve got fiscal responsibility, term limits, downsizing the federal government — it’s so powerful you can really make a difference.”


Convention of States Action is proud of its committed, tireless army of five million self-governing, grassroots patriots. To join us in the fight to save America for future generations, sign the petition below and get involved today!

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:
