The Liberty Llama needs you to help save our federal republican form of government for future generations!

|The Declaration of Independence begins with //**"We the People"**//. We need YOU to help get our Federal Government under control. \\ \\ The Convention of States is an effort to use a tool the founders provided in Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It //**[[https://www.youtube.com/embed/oVQH0JbwIgA|provides a way]]**// for //"We the People"//, through our state legislatures, to call for a convention of the states to by-pass Congress and propose amendments that Congress will never do on their own.\\ \\ The process requires 34 state legislatures to pass the COS resolution. The resolution defines what topics can be discussed at the convention.\\ \\ 19 states have passed this resolution that allows debate on amendments for limiting the terms of office for federal officials, imposing fiscal sanity and restricting the power and scope of the federal government.\\ \\ There would likely be multiple amendments proposed in each category, and all proposed amendments must then be sent to the states for ratification. 38 states must ratify every proposed amendment before they can become effective. \\ \\ [[https://www.ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/2025/hjr%20379|//**In North Carolina, the COS resolution -- HJR 379 -- has been filed in the House.**//]] We expect a vote soon, then that resolution will be sent to the Senate for a vote there. But we need you to act!\\ \\ //What you can do://\\ \\ * Become //**[[https://conventionofstates.com/resources|educated on the COS]]**// effort and //**[[https://conventionofstates.com/?ref=739|sign the petition]]**// if you have not done so.\\ * Consider becoming a //**[[https://conventionofstates.com/take_action|volunteer]]**// and get engaged. No matter what your skills are or how much time you have, we have a way for you to help!\\ * Contact your North Carolina legislator. //**[[https://www.ncleg.gov/FindYourLegislators|Here is a link]]**// where you can enter your address and get the contact information for both your NC Representative and Senator. //Ask them to support the COS resolution.//  \\ \\ //Many believe that the election of Donald Trump will solve all our problems. It will not. Electing good people to the federal government is necessary but not sufficient.//\\ \\ //Our effort transcends any one president or Congress, but is focused on long-term, structural changes to change the course of history and protect our federal republican form of government. Too much power has flowed to the federal government.//\\ \\ //It is time to bring that power back to We the People in the states. You can help! //|
