Unbelievable act in West Virginia has masses in outrage

Published in Blog on March 10, 2016 by Convention Of States Project

URGENT – Immediate action required – PLEASE CALL SPEAKER ARMSTEAD AND E-MAIL ALL WV DELEGATES!

There is a movement behind the scenes in the West Virginia House of Delegates to undermine your efforts to pass the Convention of States application to propose constitutional amendments that will restrain the power of Washington, D.C.

In a weird turn of events last night in the House Judiciary Committee, SCR 10, our COS application, was defeated in a voice vote (read – no accountability!). An effort to get a recorded vote was rebuffed, despite a House Rule requiring a recorded vote—and despite the fact that an overwhelming majority of the Committee supports the resolution!

At this point, there is only one procedural device that can give us our vote on the House floor, where we have enough co-sponsors to guarantee final passage. Please call Speaker Tim Armstead and e-mail the WV Delegates and urge them to discharge SCR 10 from the Committee to give us our vote!

Speaker Armstead: (304) 340-3210.

Click on this link to send the following message to every WV Delegate:

As a West Virginian who is committed to the rule of law and the limitation of federal power, I urge you to discharge SCR 10 from the House Judiciary Committee. Thousands of West Virginians support this effort, and we insist that it receive a vote on the House floor before session ends on Saturday. Please stand up to champion our Constitution and the rule of law!

Respectfully,

[Your Name]

This is the RIGHT thing for him to do. SCR 10 has already passed in the Senate and we have done the work to get it passed. We must not allow mischief behind closed doors to interfere with the legislative process and deprive us of our vote. 


Thank you for taking 5 minutes right now to serve the cause of liberty!

Sincerely,

Your WV COS Action Team
