The biggest takeaways from EVERY episode of COS at Home

Over the past 37 months, Convention of States has been inviting your favorite COS endorsers, sponsors, and commentators into your homes for intimate conversations about all things Article V. As we eagerly anticipate tomorrow's return to the show with Congressman Chip Roy (register here), I took the opportunity to revisit EVERY past episode of COS at Home and spotlight standout moments from each one.

We’ve been blessed to learn from many wise leaders, beginning with:

Mark Meckler - December 2020

“There’s nowhere that you can find in the Founders’ writings where they said, ‘You should vote and then not be involved in anything else. You should vote and then not pay attention to the policies being enacted. You should vote and not be engaged in any civic organizations.’ The Founders never said that. In fact, the Founders said the exact opposite. It’s not about your vote — your vote is the baseline. It’s about what else are you doing to preserve the Republic?”

Pete Hegseth - January 2021

“[Convention of States] is a passion project for me because I think it’s the way we save our Republic.”

Daniel Horowitz - February

“What we are doing is not working, and that should be abundantly clear. Tyranny continues to grow. Basic human rights are taken for granted. We don’t really have a voice. This is where Convention of States comes in. The idea is, the solution is not in Washington.”

David Barton - March

“Principles do not change. Technology is all that changes. The principles don’t change, and our Founding Fathers [were] wise enough and studied enough of history and human nature to know [how humans behave]. So, there’s nothing in the Constitution that deals with technology. It’s all principle-driven.”

Rep. Bill Taylor - April

“This is not about Republicans and Democrats. This is about who controls change that needs to occur.”

Steve Deace - May

“There's not enough of us to just be a silent majority anymore, where we just sit by and let the system run amuck for a couple of years.”

Prof. Rob Natelson - June

“The winds of fascism, right now, are running very strong. One thing that the Convention of States movement can say is that it represents the best opportunity to respond to, and to defeat, the threat of American fascism.”

Rick Green - July

“[The Founding Fathers] sacrificed. They didn't have to. Most of them were wealthy. Most of them had freedom. They were at the upper echelon of society. And yet they were willing to give all of that up to launch freedom for the next generation.”

Lt. Col. Allen West - August

“This is not a period of weeping and wailing. We need to see the strength in ourselves — each and every American — and you can have that strong grassroots movement.”

Sen. Rick Santorum - September

“Yes, we're a great country, but we've allowed our values, our virtue, our morals, to decline and decay. We need to get America back to being that shining city on the hill. That country that is moral, that believes in truth and is willing to fight for truth.”

Jason Girard - October

“Progress is impossible apart from hard work and sacrifice. If you want your country to be a better place, but you're not willing to work hard for it — you're not willing to make any sacrifices for it — then, sorry, it's not gonna get better.”

Pete Hegseth - December

“My biggest message is: Be urgent. Be aggressive. But be patient. It's got to be the right people at the right time, chipping away at states, adding to those numbers. And, God willing, we [will] get there.”

That’s all for today, folks. For more hope-inspiring quotes and wisdom, be on the lookout for volume two of this series coming soon. And in the meantime, be sure to tune into tomorrow’s episode of COS at Home with Rep. Chip Roy. We’ll see you there!
