State-level grassroots advocacy works. Local and state officials are much more likely to respond to the needs of their constituents than federally-elected officials. That's one of the reasons we're pushing for a Convention of States to reduce the power of the federal government and return that power to the state level.
One of the best ways we've found to reach out to our state legislators is with handwritten notes. In this age of instant digital communication, handwritten letters stand out.
Representatives and senators from states across the country have told us how powerfully these letters have affected them, and one even changed his vote from NO to YES after receiving these communications from his constituents.
We asked our volunteers and supporters to record their efforts, and the results blew us away. Check out the video below for just a taste of the hard work of our amazing volunteers!
Take a moment today to send a letter to your legislator. If you don't know how to contact your representatives, get in touch with your Convention of States state leadership team or simply visit your state legislature's website.
Meanwhile, don't forget to sign the Convention of States Petition below!
