Earlier in the summer, polling \\ \\ from our partners at the Trafalgar Group \\ found that 65.7% of Americans support \\ \\ a convention for proposing constitutional \\ amendments based around our three \\ \\ limited topics of discussion.\\ \\ It’s not absurd to impose term limits, a \\ \\ balanced budget and power restraints \\ \\ on federal bureaucrats. \\ \\ However, the Washington establishment \\ would never advocate for a cause that \\ would make them completely irrelevant \\ \\ and powerless. The grassroots army at \\ COSA is stronger than ever and we are \\ gaining even more supporters through \\ this limelight. \\ \\ A brand new COSA volunteer in \\ \\ Colorado learned about our movement \\ \\ from these negative attacks and decided \\ to look more into the organization. After \\ \\ enough research on the fundamentals, \\ she not only decided that she was for \\ \\ COSA, but also decided to immediately \\ \\ become a volunteer. \\ \\ She is now a dedicated volunteer com-\\ mitting her valuable time and energy to \\ further the movement.\\ \\ Negative hit pieces against our free-\\ \\ dom-centered cause can feel daunting, \\ \\ but it only proves we’re doing something \\ \\ right. Our grassroots reaffirm this belief \\ as we continue to expand our reach and \\ \\ increase support.\\ \\ “We are not a threat to the soul of this \\ \\ country; we are a threat to the en-\\ \\ trenched deep state in our federal gov-\\ ernment,” another volunteer recently \\ wrote to the COSA blog page. “They try \\ to paint us as extremists because they \\ \\ know we are gaining ground.”\\ \\ That’s exactly what this scheme intends \\ to do. As an Article V Convention \\ \\ becomes more and more likely, the critics \\ \\ will only get more vocal. They have the \\ manipulative tools, dirty connections \\ \\ and financial resources to blast our \\ organization in the spotlight, but we have \\ the resilience and strength to press on.\\ \\ We the People will continue to bring light \\ against the darkness of today’s world. \\ \\ **(540) 441-7227 | COSACTION.COM | Facebook.com/COSAction | Twitter.com/COSProject**\\ \\ **“We are a threat to the **\\ \\ **entrenched deep state in  \\ our federal government.”**\\ \\ **CRITICISM REAFFIRMS WE’RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK**\\ \\ **View Our Progress**\\ \\ **COS Endorsers**\\ \\ **Responses to Opposition**|
