’l Last Month:

'Last best hope': Dr. Kevin Roberts,
Heritage Foundation President, announces
groundbreaking endorsement of COS.

Dr. Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage
Foundation, officially endorsed Convention of
States in November 2023, urging states and fellow
conservatives to support us in our mission to call
the first-ever Article V convention.  This landmark
announcement follows closely on the heels of The
Heritage Foundation, the nation’s leading
conservative think tank, publishing a lengthy

pro-

COS memorandum

, praising the grassroots

initiative.

“Washington, D.C. is fundamentally

broken and it's past time we look outside the
Swamp for answers,” Roberts stated in his
endorsement.

“Providentially, the Founding

Fathers wrote Article V into the U.S. Constitution as
a backstop to the tyrannical rule we see from the
Federal Government today

.”  To read the full article

Heritage Foundation’s full support and to welcome
Kevin Roberts to our ever-growing list of endorsers.

calling an Article V convention, sign the Convention
of States petition today at

Discover the Genius of the
USA Constitution:

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and
religious people.  It is wholly inadequate to the
government of any other.

—

John Adams



Religion and morality are the essential pillars of civil
society.

-

George Washington

Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.  As
nations become corrupt and vicious, they have
more need of masters.

—

Benjamin Franklin

[F]or avoiding the extremes of despotism or
anarchy . . . the only ground of hope must be on the
morals of the people.  I believe that religion is the
only solid base of morals and that morals are the
only possible support of free governments.
[T]herefore education should teach the precepts of
religion and the duties of man towards God.“

—

Gouverneur Morris

These are just a few quotes from some of our
founders about religion and morality.
Given our current climate, religion is either rejected
outright (even viciously attacked), or it is seen as
malapropos.  But as our Founders made clear, we
cannot function as a society without a religious or
moral framework.  It is becoming quite clear that we
need to bring religion back into our society; religion

Page 5 of 7

is the very thing that will heal our land from the
treachery that has come upon it.
We are in a moment of history when the souls of
men are being tried like never before.  We are at
war against the greatest evil we’ve been
acquainted with.  Is it possible that the evil we face
is not just from an unseen foe, but because of
taking God out of our prayers, our pledges, and our
families?

In a world that has taken a colossal departure from
God, morals, and religion, may I invite each of us to
take on the mantle of a God-fearing and light-
bearing people.  Though religion has as much
power to divide as it does to unite.  Too often we
see that people are divided over religious tenets.
What one person holds to be true others find to be
diametrically opposed to their own viewpoints.
Many others say that God is dead or simply are
satisfied with holding no religious belief.
Furthermore, many of our societal ills have come
from the pulpit.  All it takes is for one pastor or
preacher to declare something out of line with what
the Bible says.  Furthermore, all it takes is for the
church to be silent in matters regarding politics.
The issues of our time are hardly political, they are
biblical.

So let us remember whether we be Christians,
Jews, or Muslim, no matter what denomination we
profess, what theology we hold, we need to set
aside our difference and through the protection of
divine providence, remember our pledge to each
other.  It only takes righteous remnant, those who
love and serve God first and foremost and bear His
light, to usher in that new era we fervently seek
after.

The battle is not lost patriots,

Hold the Line!
