Convention of States (COS) has built the largest Grassroots Organization in the country to “limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, impose fiscal restraints, and place term limits on federal officials.” There are over 3,000,000 petition signers nationwide and nearly 68,000 signers, just like you, in the state of Georgia.
We continue to build even larger and stronger groups in our local areas to directly combat the loss of our civil liberties, fundamental rights, and freedoms. Education Reforms (e.g.CRT), Election Reforms (e.g. mail-in balloting), and Law Enforcement Reforms (e.g. police budget and bail reductions), are just a few examples of the local challenges facing us. We must get even more people involved in our school boards and local precincts to protect the rights of our citizens to govern themselves, before it is too late.
2022 is a turning point year in the United States of America. Our Republic and Freedoms are under attack in every aspect of our lives. Religion, Work, Education, Finances, Health Care, Speech, Voting,… the list goes on. Last year was the worst in our country's history.
The mid-term elections are only 10 months away. We must make every minute of this time count.
There are 20 states that are in partial completion to approve the Article V Convention of States. This is the year for us to make it happen.
YOU - Congratulations! You have already taken the first step and signed the COS Petition. Now it's time to turn it up a notch and get involved as a volunteer. Your local district, county, state and country need you more that ever. We all need to play a part, however large or small, in salvaging our democracy.
All US citizens regardless of race, religion, sex, and political party are entitled to their rights and freedoms. Become involved in Convention of States to more effectively oppose government overreach and abuses. Every effort big or small makes a difference.
NOW - This is the year. This is the time. Regardless of your skills or interests, regardless of the amount of time you can spend, there's an opportunity for you.
RIGHT HERE - Take the next step. Join our family of volunteers. Help make this a better place to live for ourselves, our children, grandchildren and future generations to come.
It's go time.
How do you want history to remember this year?

How Many Rights Would This Bill Have Violated?
New York State recently attempted to legislate bill A416. A416 would allow anyone suspected of being a threat to the public health, because of infectious disease, to be removed and detained (page 1, lines 10-16). Wording for release of detention is confusing, conflicting, and can be interpreted to continue for months (page 3, lines 38-47). Wording in A416 (page 4, line 23) also included mandatory approved prescribed treatment, medication, and vaccination for the people detained. Read the entire A416 bill here.
With A416, anyone can be detained on scant evidence. This is a slippery slope for citizens as A416 can be interpreted broadly and loosely by the government. Remember, Australia forced Covid negative, asymptomatic citizens who were simply exposed to Covid to remain in Covid camps to quarantine for two weeks. A416 sets a dangerous precedent for other states and future law.
Persons who monitored the status of A416 found it moving forward in the legislative process and sounded the alarm. The people of NY fought back by voicing their opposition on the New York Senate website. In late December 2021, NYS Assemblyman Nick Perry was forced to permanently remove A416, the bill he initially introduced. Read his response on Twitter.
Bill A416 has now been stricken.
Although distant from us here in Georgia, we can learn from the actions of determined citizens fighting to preserve their rights and freedoms. Keep watch of your government activities at all levels, speak up, push back, and contact your legislators. It works.
