The Swamp is back with a vengeance, but the American people have leveled the first volley.
We're pleased to report that the Convention of States Resolution has been pre-filed in four states:
- South Carolina - H 3205 was filed by Rep. Bill Taylor on December 9. There are 44 co-sponsors!
- Montana - The resolution was filed by Sen. Tom McGilvray on December 1. (Bill number not yet available.)
- Virginia - HJ 516 was filed by Del. Ronnie Campbell on December 3.
- Washington - SJM 8000 was filed by Sen. Ann Rivers on December 15.
This is just the beginning of the fight in these four states, but it's an important first step! We want to thank our amazing volunteers, who have been encouraging their legislators to support our resolution, and our amazing sponsors, who stepped out in courage to file it.
In each state, our resolution will soon be assigned to appear before a committee. That's where you come in. Once the resolution gets a committee assignment in your state, reach out to those representatives and encourage them to vote for our resolution.
When we pass the committee, it's on to the full chamber. Once the resolution passes both chambers, that state will have officially called for a Convention of States.
Here's a snapshot of where we are around the country.
