Convention of States Florida went to the 2022 Florida State Fair collecting petition signatures and disseminating information to the masses of people that arrived each year. Unofficial estimates are that almost a half a million people walked through the fair gates.
Florida has a new State Director, Denah Butts. She jumped right into the fun to lead the team on the mission to spread the news about Convention of States.
Denah said, "It was just heartwarming to hear the National Anthem played over the loudspeakers each morning and to witness everyone stop what they were doing and place their hand over their heart to listen and honor our country. I loved seeing that! "
Denah rallied the Florida team members who assisted to create excitement and enthusiasm at one of the best tables in the fair to reach, teach and activate!
Our presence for the Convention of States Booth at the Florida State Fair in Tampa, Florida was a huge success. In addition to petitions, we had many more interested but even more promising to follow-up!
Among the hundreds of petition signatures collected were MANY from out of state, some excitedly from states with pending resolutions, a few of which were very timely in helping West Virginia pass their resolution (just passed on March 4th). Here in Florida we have a unique situation where we can influence many people from the other states, due to our snowbirds, recent influx from shutdown states, and many visitors to our sunny beaches and theme parks.
The Mission: To build the largest and most engaged group of self-governed citizen activists that the world has ever seen for the purpose of restoring the balance of power in America. Whether it be local, state, or federal, all levels of government are in need of repair. Information and education are the tools we need to begin repairs. The Convention of States Florida team is committed to the mission and with Denah as our State Director, we are a growing and vibrant team providing our supporters with the tools and resources to engage in their communities.
The fair runs each year Feb. 10th through Feb. 21st.
Denah and the team created a lot of excitement for the crowds and the Florida team volunteers who came to lend a hand. Many Thanks to the volunteers that came out and gave of themselves (32 in all!). Richard Simo put out his legendary 3000 pages of the Constitution which always brings lots of discussion and comments.
Leaders are the core of this mission. Are you willing to step up and join us?
