Passing of the baton at the COS Virginia Leadership Summit

Published in Blog on April 03, 2019 by Laurie Wheeler

Volunteers for Convention of States Virginia assembled on March 9, 2019, for the latest Leadership Summit in Shenandoah for training.

District Captain Nancy Koenig reported afterwards, "Thank you so very much to all. I found the summit very helpful. It was well thought out. I always enjoy connecting with new and ‘old’ patriots."

Another purpose of the meeting was to transfer the baton of State Director from Chris Walker to Dennis Denton.

Faithful COS Virginia volunteers: Dennis Denton and Chris Walker

Chris Walker has enthusiastically served for several years as State Director. At his side has been Grassroots Coordinator Dennis Denton, who began as a District Captain.

"Thank you all for attending," said Chris. "Dennis is going to do a great job as State Director. I think we had a very productive summit. I am excited to see such great participation."

Current State Director Dennis proclaimed, "Leaders may change but our mission is unchanging. It is a privilege and an honor to be a part of this Virginia COS team, and I will be steadfast in achieving a Convention of the States to help put this country back on its proper constitutional path.

"Those before us have sacrificed much, including their blood and lives to protect and preserve our God given rights, our freedoms, and our liberty. We can at least do this in honor of their sacrifices. Our children, our grandchildren, and future generations of Americans deserve no less." 

Meanwhile, Chris has changed his volunteer status from State Director to Legislative Liaison, where his energy will continue to pound the General Assembly. Furthermore, he will now be at Dennis' side.

The task of volunteer is more like a marathon than a sprint. Our vision is long-term. We are running a race to preserve the Constitution and to save America from the abyss of socialism. 

To maintain the pace, we build teams that help one another to carry the load. Along the way we make friends.

Join us in preserving the Constitution by reining in the federal leviathan with a Convention of States. 

Together we can preserve America for our children and grandchildren.

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.
