The Convention of States movement is growing, and there's no sign of slowing down!
This week, the number of Convention of States Petition signers passed the 1.5 million mark and the current total stands at a whopping 1,504,163!
We already secured petition signatures from 100% of state house legislative districts in the country, but this milestone proves just how big the Convention of States movement has become.
But our petition is so much more than a list of names. Each time someone signs the petition and provides their contact information, we send a copy of the petition to their state legislator. That means that many of the 1.5 million petition signers have also contacted their state representatives and asked them to support this historic movement.
Here's the full text of the Convention of States Petition:
Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and businesses is a recipe for disaster.
What is less known is that the Founders gave state legislatures the power to act as a final check on abuses of power by Washington, DC. Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention for proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. This process does not require the consent of the federal government in Washington, DC.
I support the Convention of States Project; a national effort to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.
I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution calling for this kind of Article V Convention. You can find a copy of the model resolution and the Article V Pocket Guide (which explains the process and answers many questions) here: https://conventionofstates.com/handbook_pdf
I ask that you support the Convention of States Project and consider becoming a co-sponsor of the resolution. Please respond to my request by informing the national COS team of your position, or sending them any questions you may have:
info@conventionofstates.com or (540) 441-7227.
Thank you so much for your service to the people of our district.
Respectfully, [Your Name]
