That swamp is still swampy!

Published in Blog on May 06, 2025 by Convention of States Action

Just a few months have elapsed since President Donald Trump stood in the Capitol Rotunda and declared a new Golden Age for the United States.

As we know, a combination of atmospheric sulfur, moisture, and oxygen can combine to tarnish gold.

Those elements (whatever that is coming from Mitch McConnell's office, the tears of The Squad, and heavy breathing among some of the more elderly political careerists) are still in abundance among the usual suspects in Washington, D.C. They are present in both political parties and in every conceivable nook and cranny of the federal government. 

All told, “The Swamp is Still Swampy” and that is the theme of this month’s Grassroots Leadership Focus call, which takes place on May 13 at 9:00 p.m. ET

If you haven’t yet registered for this informative call, you can do so by clicking here.

Join COS national staff members to discuss why we have the solution to permanently draining the swamp and truly ushering in a golden era in the republic – a limited-purpose Article V convention that will reduce the size, scope, and jurisdiction of the federal government for good. 

Convention of States Action co-founder and president Mark Meckler is the featured guest on this month’s call. In addition, our regional directors will provide thorough updates and news about our activity all across the country, which includes significant news about developments in states such as Texas and North Carolina. There will even be a chance for you to win some swag from Article V Outfitters

Best of all, you will hear the inspiring and emotional story of a shining star of COS who refuses to let debilitating challenges diminish his brightness or his commitment to the cause. Be warned, however – you may want to keep a box of tissues handy. 

This will be an unforgettable Grassroots Leadership Focus call, and we hope that you will make time to join -- it'll be golden. 

Again, register for the call by simply clicking here. See you on May 13 at 9:00 p.m. ET!

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.
