We Are Convention of States Florida

Published in Blog on December 12, 2023 by Chuck Connolly and Cynthia Kisby

Are you tired of yelling at the TV?

Are you scared of what's happening to our culture?

You are not alone. Anyone who is paying attention worries that our country is on the verge of collapse. Millions of people with common sense are tired of complaining and doing nothing. They have discovered Convention of States.

It only takes one person to get things started.  Please watch this video where you will meet Chuck Connolly the Regional Captain for House Districts 31 - 35 including Vero Beach and Indian River County. He has been recruiting and connecting with other engaged citizens who no longer want to wait and see what happens.

Two other activists featured in the video are Vicki Buckley, District Captain 31 and Mark Peterson, District Captain 33. Behind the scenes assistance came from Mary Rosolonwski DC FL 32 who secured professional videographer John Pavlakos and Response Digital Media.

If you wonder what you could do as a volunteer, why not listen to their stories? They explain that COS is a non-partisan, non-profit organization focused on using Article V of the U. S. Constitution to accomplish what Congress has not been able to achieve.

A Convention of States would be limited to proposing amendments related to only three broad areas: restrict federal spending, limit federal power, and term limits for everyone. All states could participate but each state only gets one vote.

When 34 states have passed resolutions to call a convention, it will be convened. Any proposed amendments must then be ratified in 38 states. Nineteen of the required 34 states have already passed the Convention of States Resolution.

Sign our petition that goes to your state legislators and take our survey to become active in securing the next 15 needed states. The time is now to show up, stand up and speak up in all the local communities of our great Republic. 

We need your help. Watch the video. Join the resistance.

Petition your state legislator

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 to proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. This process does not require the consent of the federal government in Washington DC.

I support Convention of States; a national movement 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 an 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 Convention of States and consider becoming a co-sponsor. Please respond to my request by informing the national COS team of your position, or sending them any questions you may have:

Thank you so much for your service to the people of our district.
