Convention of States!

Michele decided it was time to help make a stand

Published in Blog on October 03, 2022 by Laurie Wheeler

Meet Michele, who drove 70 miles on Independence Day to help at the Convention of States information table at the Leadership Institute's annual Soiree.

As crowds of people thronged around the table throughout the 4 hour event in the heat of the day, Michele helped them understand how Convention of States effectively puts the heat on the problems in Washington, D.C.

After learning that COS can propose amendments to impose term limits on federal officials, reduce federal overreach, and require fiscal responsibility, Michele became a COS Virginia volunteer.  

"I decided it was time to help make a stand and get as many people involved as possible," declared Michele.

One of her favorite projects is blockwalking for COS, going door to door with petitions for people to sign so we can get our COS resolution to a vote in Virginia's General Assembly.

Michele is also active on Telepatriot, an amazing cell phone app that allows COS volunteers to make phone calls to activate the public to self-governance.

The secret to passing our resolution in Virginia is to grow our grassroots army who will then use their political muscle in Richmond to urge our state legislators to use their unique role in passing the Convention of States resolution.

Currently 19 of the required 34 states have passed the COS resolution. When will Virginia join that list?

You, too, can join Michele in making a difference. Sign the petition below, so that a copy will be sent to your state legislators.

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.
