Members of the Convention of States team are familiar with the slogan “Building the Army”. Its meaning is very clear. To my surprise, I recently discovered how easy it can be to add Patriots to our ranks and build the Army.
While attending a recent out-of-town family wedding, I had the opportunity to see and visit with family and friends that I rarely get to see. In situations like this, it is not unusual to have superficial type conversations.
This event was different.
During the course of the weekend, I had time to talk with people in greater depth. During the exchanges I had with people, I decided to discuss my involvement with Convention of States Action. Somewhat surprisingly, no one I spoke to had ever heard of COS. After a brief explanation, each person took a liking to the Convention of States story and gave curiously serious consideration to what I was saying. The topic of term limits for members of Congress was the hands-down winner with those I spoke with and the conversation left had an impact.
On the way back home, I realized something. I was “building the army” and it was very easy. So if you have any doubts or a reluctant to discuss COS, get ready to be surprised. A casual conversation discussing the Convention of States objectives will make a difference and help build the army.
