Idaho House considers COS resolution on March 12

Published in Blog on March 11, 2025 by Matt May

This week, a vote will take place in Treasure Valley that can help further America's path to a Golden Age. 

On March 12, the Idaho House of Representatives is scheduled to debate and vote upon House Concurrent Resolution 10 -- the COS resolution calling for a limited-purpose Article V convention to reduced the size and scope of the federal government. 

The House is scheduled to convene at 12:30 p.m. ET/10:30 a.m. MT, and coverage on COS LIVE will begin shortly thereafter. 

H.C.R. 10, sponsored by Rep. Jordan Redman, was passed favorably out of the Idaho House Committee on Judiciary, Rules, and Administration on February 17. The committee heard testimony from several grassroots volunteers in addition to Convention of States Action senior advisor and former U.S. senator Rick Santorum. 

That testimony had been preceded by a successful and well-attended Surge Day in Boise on January 29 that garnered support for the resolution and 34|Ready legislation (House Concurrent Resolution 9) which the Committee on Judiciary, Rules, and Administration also approved.

Tune in to COS LIVE to watch the debate and see if the Idaho House votes to take a decisive step toward becoming the 20th state to call for an Article V convention.

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.
