VICTORY: Pennsylvania Senate Committee PASSES COS Resolution
Convention of States Action is thrilled to announce a decisive victory in the Pennsylvania Senate State Government Committee, which passed SR 77, the COS Article V application, on Tuesday. The committee voted 6-5 in favor of the resolution, marking a groundbreaking milestone after countless hours of grassroots lobbying in the state.
“Freedom-loving patriots everywhere owe their gratitude and thanks to the unstoppable team in Pennsylvania,” praised Convention of States President Mark Meckler. “They are, quite literally, making history—today’s victory brings us one step closer to calling a convention and saving the Republic.”
Earlier this month, more than 70 state-level activists convened at the Pennsylvania Capitol Building to advocate for an Article V convention. The team engaged with all 253 House and Senate members, holding meetings and distributing educational materials. As one member put it, “Every hall, office, and level of the PA Capitol was filled with COS supporters all morning.”
Moreover, this victory follows on the heels of key polling from earlier this year, which showed that a majority of Pennsylvania voters, including Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, supported COS and were willing to cross party lines to vote for a candidate who backed our efforts.
“These results send a powerful message: Convention of States is a unifying cause that resonates across party affiliations,” noted Meckler. “It is heartening to witness Democrats and Republicans recognizing the importance of this constitutional remedy, as well as expressing a willingness to break party lines in order to do what is best for their country and state.”
Having crossed this hurdle, the team now looks forward to a full vote in the Pennsylvania State Senate, which could make the Keystone State—the birthplace of Article V—the 20th state to join the Convention of States movement. For further information, please contact: info@cosaction.com
