It's been an amazing two weeks for the Convention of States Project. Our grassroots army has racked up so many victories in such a short amount of time, it's becoming hard to keep track of all the winning!
To help you sort out which states and committees have passed the Convention of States Resolution this year, here's a quick breakdown of the victories (so far!):
- On January 25, Wisconsin became the 16th state to pass the Convention of States Resolution after succeeding in several committee and two full chamber votes.
- On January 25, the South Dakota House passed the Convention of States Resolution, and it's now being considered by the Senate.
- On January 28, Nebraska became the 17th state to pass the Convention of States Resolution after last year's "Miracle in Nebraska" saved the Resolution from committee and put it in front of the full chamber.
- On February 2, the Massachusetts Joint Committee on Federal and State Affairs reported our Resolution favorably.
- On February 3, the Iowa 3-person subcommittee of the Senate State Government Committee reported our Resolution favorably.
- On February 7, our sponsors in South Dakota saved our Resolution from committee in a successful "smoke out" maneuver.
- On February 7, the Pennsylvania Senate State Government Committee reported our Resolution favorably by a 7-4 vote.
Those are all the victories since January 25, and we expect even more in the coming days! Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for the latest, breaking news, and check back here on the Convention of States blog for more in-depth coverage.
None of this would be possible without our amazing grassroots supporters. These men and women give their time and talents to the Convention of States movement, and they inspire us every day to keep fighting.
