This week marked one of the largest Convention of States events ever at the Iowa State Capitol!
Headlining the event were Senator Rick Santorum, radio host Steve Deace, and Convention of States Action President Mark Meckler. The crowd of hundreds also heard from our legislative sponsors in Iowa, who explained why they're seeking to pass the Convention of States Resolution this year.
Deace was so impressed with the Convention of States patriots who attended, he took time during his show to congratulate the team on the awesome event.
"I want to give a shoutout to our friends at Convention of States. They put on a fantastic event at our statehouse yesterday. It was jam-packed in our capitol rotunda," Deace said.
As Deace explained, the weather was terrible in Iowa this week, and the event happened in the middle of the day, when many volunteers usually have to work.
But that didn't stop Convention of States patriots.
They descended on the capitol to ask their legislators to pass the Convention of States Resolution, and it was one of the best capitol events we've ever had.
Watch the full event below!

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:

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.
Respectfully, [Your Name]
