![]() 1 Colorado COSA Summary of Success The Colorado Convention of States Action (COSA) team has accomplished historical success over the course of 12 years. The historical record of petition signers in Colorado was a steady increase from 2014-2021, yet the Article V Application was never introduced within the Colorado State Legislature during this timeframe. Afterwards, there was a shift in what success looked like in Colorado. Even though the number of petition signers dropped from 2022-2024 as compared to previous years, the Colorado COSA team successfully introduced the Article V Application for three consecutive years within the Colorado State Legislature. Each year had a significant increase in witness testimonies as a strong demonstration of support for an Article V “Convention for proposing Amendments.” Colorado is a very tough state, and future success is bound to continue even it takes on a different form. 32 1,727 3,627 5,308 4,175 6,484 7,756 7,508 8,863 4,451 3,785 4,067 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 7,000 8,000 9,000 10,000 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Historical Colorado COSA Petition Signers & Article V Application Committee Hearings (Total Signers: 57,783) Article V Application Hearings 2022: 2 witness testimonies 2023: 12 witness testimonies 2024: 27 witness testimonies ![]() 2 There are multiple reasons for the historical shift in success across Colorado, and it is difficult to determine the exact cause and effect relationships. However, there is some general historical background that can help explain some of the reasons. What are the reasons for the high # of petition signer numbers in 2018-2021? • Saturation of the Colorado population that agrees with the Article V Convention platform (term limits, constraining federal overreach, fiscal restraints) • Exhausted those events (e.g., gun shows and state fair) where to find Colorado citizens that support it • COVID tyranny experienced in 2020-2021 • Immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 (i.e., Biden effect) In 2020, Colorado lost significant executive leadership to include a former State Director, Regional Captains, District Captains, and a former State Grassroots Coordinator. The sudden loss of multiple leaders threw the Colorado team into disarray. It would take another year for new leadership to come on board in 2021- 2022 with a new State Director, Legislative Liaison, and Veterans Coalition Director (VCD). In 2022, the overall COVID restrictions and mandates were lifted, and people went back to work and school. Thus, Colorado saw a dip in petition signers, and it seem Colorado was starting to receive duplicate petition signers at the same events such as gun shows. Eventually, the Colorado team began to grow again with new Regional Captains, District Captains, and other active volunteers who would support the success of introducing the Article V Application in 2022-2024. Regardless of national political conditions or changes in Colorado leadership, the Heavenly Father is ultimately in charge! God will direct any continued success and outcomes within Colorado. |
