COS Louisiana Advocacy Day, April 26, 2022, was a success. Thirty-five Convention of States Louisiana leaders and volunteers met at the capitol building in Baton Rouge.
In this year's session, the COS Louisiana team was on the ground to determine where legislators stand on local bills supported by the Convention of States. COS was also talking to the public about Article V of the U.S. Constitution. Several people signed the COS petition and took cards containing information on our grassroots movement.
The evening before the meeting, 14 team members met at our SGC's home to pack gift bags for the legislators. Included in the bags were a "bundtini" for dessert, a pocket Constitution, and a bookmark giving the number of COS petition signers in each legislator's district. The volunteers ate dinner together after they finished preparing the gift bags.
During the day, 30 legislators stopped by to visit with our team and find out more about the Convention of States. The representatives took the pulse on where we stand on the issues of the day.
Future Farmers of America stopped by and were given information on COS and Article V of the U.S. Constitution. One gentleman came to volunteer with COS and became our newest District Captain. That’s a success!
Afterward, team members were invited to dinner. Those of us who went to dinner had good food and a good time, and most importantly, got to know fellow team members better.
