Many people hesitate to visit our Capitol in Jefferson City because the whole process can be overwhelming. The Convention of States Missouri team is here to help.
Opening Day of the 2023 legislative session will take place on Wednesday, January 4, 2023. If you are planning to attend, please bookmark this page and check back for updates on our plans.
Let's welcome back the men and women who have sacrificed their time to help make the State of Missouri a better place to live and work. Our goal during this session is to get a bill passed which will define who will choose the commissioners to any Article V Convention, their qualifications, and how they will receive their instructions. We will need the involvement of the grassroots (you) to help get this accomplished in 2023. Because of the re-districting problems in 2022 many bills, including ours, were left in limbo but we will be back for another try.
We hope you join us as we work towards our goal of calling a convention and our mission to educate our fellow Americans, including legislators, about Article V. The Founders gave us a means to correct the abuses in Washington, D.C. Let's use it!
If you are able to attend, please be sure to stop by to meet your representatives while you are at the Capitol. If you do not know whom to contact, you can look them up through the links listed below.

Another Way to Communicate: Share your opinions with others by writing a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Legislators follow these sources very closely and you can help influence others who know little or nothing about the Convention of States. If your letter to the editor is published, please let the Convention of States Missouri Team know so we can publish it on our website. Contact: joan.mcdermott@cosaction.com
Another Way to Participate: The Convention of States Missouri Team is also planning a Home Surge for those who are unable to travel to the Capitol. You can do both, of course.
Contact Your Legislators in Jefferson City
Thank you for supporting this very important project in our nation’s history. Keep in mind that you can and should contact your legislators whenever you have suggestions or praise. With a few exceptions these individuals work long hours and make great sacrifices to serve the State of Missouri.
Will we have a Surge Day in 2023? That's the plan. We are waiting on confirmation of an available date. Please check back.
