5 for Article V
Imagine if all 2.7 million petition signers convinced just five people to sign the petition.
| COS activists will likely collect over a thousand petitions at the Iowa State Fair this week. It’s the tip of the spear in a nationwide effort to garner support for an Article V convention. To date, our grassroots have collected over 2.7 million signatures nationally, while individual states have topped 100,000! Needless to say, our supporters have become proficient at soliciting petitions: at churches, gun shows, town hall events, grocery stores, state fairs, you name it. (I’ve even seen someone pitch COS to a stranger in an elevator!) Amazingly, however, many of us may not have considered whether our closest friends or family have signed the petition. We probably take for granted that they support us. But have they actually affixed their signature to the petition? COS President Mark Meckler has issued a call to action for all COS supporters to recruit at least five friends and family members to sign the petition. It’s a fairly simple task with huge potential. Imagine if all 2.7 million petition signers convinced just five people to sign the petition; our organization would grow by leaps and bounds, exploding to over 13 million petition signers, potentially in a matter of weeks. And it wouldn’t stop there. Since every petition signed is delivered directly to the signer’s state lawmakers, the state legislatures would almost certainly take notice of such a massive boom. Might not a few reluctant key legislators finally be persuaded to take the plunge? Might not a few new states officially join the movement? History’s first-ever Article V convention may be closer than we realize — if we all work together to enlist our friends and family in the cause. Don’t just assume they’ve signed the petition because you told them about COS over Thanksgiving dinner. Call them up or text them your unique referral link (you can find it in your Citizen Builder profile) to ensure they don’t miss out when the COS roll is called. It should only take a couple of minutes. But if we all pitch in, the impact for our organization could be tremendous. Let’s make it happen! #5forArticleV # | PETITION_WIDGET{petition_tag:comms_blog_NA_08/15/2025_5forarticlev08152024;coalition_id:;anedot_url:} | # |
