Send Hawaii to the Grassroots Article V Experience

Published in Uncategorized on July 05, 2024 by Andrew Lusch

Mark Meckler, president and founder of Convention of States made a huge announcement! You may remember that Convention of States Foundation hosted a simulated Convention in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia back in the summer of 2023. Legislators from across the nation gathered at historic Colonial Williamsburg to propose, debate, and pass amendments proving beyond a doubt that the Article V process works. 

 

 

As Mark said, there was one problem…grassroots volunteers couldn't participate. 


For the first time, grassroots leaders will have the opportunity to get in the driver’s seat and experience what it's like to be a commissioner at a convention. Each State COS Team will nominate two commissioners (representatives) to represent their state.

Commissioners will receive hands-on training from legal experts such as Michael Farris, Robert Kelly, Rita Peters, and more to better equip them with the rules and process governing state legislatures and the Article V process. Just like at a real convention of the states, commissioners will then propose, debate, and pass amendments that will mold America’s future.

Commissioners will be responsible for their own travel and lodging expenses. However, each state must raise $1,500 per commissioner attending from the state by July 31, 2024. Convention of States Foundation can not meet the fundraising goal of $3,000 for our commissioner’s registration fee without the help of Hawaii supporters like you. 

Would you consider making a generous donation of $25, $50, $100, or more to help sponsor your State’s commissioners?

By your generous donation, you'll enable Convention of States Foundation to win the fight against an out-of-control government and return power back to the sovereign citizens of Hawaii and the United States, while providing Hawaii state leaders with invaluable real-time knowledge and experience of the Article V process.

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.
