Now pinch-hitting for Kirk Cameron...

Published in Blog on May 02, 2024 by Matt May

Convention of States Action (COSA) president and co-founder Mark Meckler appeared as a last-minute sub for actor, filmmaker, and COS supporter Kirk Cameron as the featured guest on last night's unpredictable yet action-packed edition of "COS at Home." 

As always, Convention of States Action regional director Jonathan Viaud amiably and gracefully served as host (along with his erstwhile cohort and daughter, Erin, whom Mark dubbed "the cutest kid in Convention of States").

Jonathan began the program by sending out hearty and well-deserved congratulations to the Pennsylvania team for their tremendous efforts that helped secure a victory for the COS resolution in the Senate State Government Committee. The resolution moves to the Senate floor. 

The "5 for V" segment was a dazzling and inspiring montage of COS endorsers such as Mark Levin, Rand Paul, Ben Carson, and many more that was compiled by producer extraordinaire Garrett Humbertson. 

"COS Now" recapped an exciting week of activity for the movement to call an Article V convention and previewed next week's "Courage vs. Status Quo" tour featuring Mark and Patriot Academy's Rick Green, about which Mark spoke at length during his talk with Jonathan. 

Dipping into the Minutemen Mailbag, Jonathan fielded a question from Sandy Reno of Tennessee, who asked an incisive question about how amending the Constitution would make a difference given that the government seldom follows the Constitution presently. Jonathan discussed how the government follows the annotated Constitution, a compilation of Supreme Court precedents that numbers over 3,000 pages rather than the succinct Constitution as written and amended.

Mark joined Jonathan to follow up on the annotated Constitution and to discuss the significance of today's National Day of Prayer event and his thoughts about the importance of daily prayer, the National Monument to the Forefathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts. He also shared some engaging stories about Kirk Cameron -- particularly how Kirk's down-to-earth persona helped him navigate Hollywood and stay true to himself and his values throughout his successful career.  

The show wrapped with a compelling COS "elevator pitch" from Lindsay Fisher of North Carolina. The North Carolina team will host a rally in Raleigh on May 15 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. ET at the Halifax Mall, the green space adjacent to the legislative complex. 

Jonathan announced that next month's guest will be the latest COS endorser, former U.S. representative from New Mexico, Yvette Herrell. That episode will air live on June 5 at 8:00 p.m. ET.

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.
