COS Nat

’l Last Month:

Newsmax host Carl Higbie introduced his audience
to Convention of States in December 2023,

“Hmm… Why haven't we heard about this?  Well,
because this process can actually circumvent
federal power.  And the mainstream media, we
know they're in the tank for big government.  So
why would they report on this?”  Read the full story
and watch his commentary here.

We even had Utah state Legislator, Ken Ivory Zoom call into our
meeting and gave us a great message.  Mary Wenner is taking great
pictures!

The Christmas cards are ready to be mailed out to our State
Legislators and Senators.

And Mary Wenner was even able to attend Ken Ivory’s Constitution
class in Dec. at the Legacy shooting range.  Great job Mary!

Legislative Liaison:

Be sure to contact your Legislators -
Elected officials represent our community and
our interests, so let them know who you are
and what you care about!  Take time to
introduce yourself and your organization to
public officials serving your community

–

including both federal and state
representatives.
Make an appointment and discuss:

1-   Their stance on Convention of States.
2-  What Bills they are working on that COS

could possibly get behind and support.

3-  Notify your District Captain, or Regional

Captain, or Legislative Liaison with the
results after contacting them.

Quote of the Week:

There’s one thing that progressives fear more than
Donald Trump winning the primary:  Convention of
States calling an Article V Convention to drain the
swamp… permanently!

Already, 250 Soros-funded organizations have
announced a coalition in opposition to our
efforts.

That’s bigger than any Leftist coalition

assembled in recent history…and yet they are
unified against COSA!

We’ve found their operatives infiltrating state
legislatures before our votes, we’ve uncovered
Google ads meant to pull in people looking for
our website that take them to web pages filled
with lies and misinformation, and we know that
they have launched massive text campaigns to
flood legislators with calls against our
legislation.

And this is only the beginning.  We expect that
as we get closer and closer to convention, we’ll
begin to face off against everyone from
mainstream media and movie stars to social
media influencers with millions of followers.

Even in the last few weeks, we’ve seen what
has appeared to be a coordinated uptick in hit
pieces against COS going out in the news.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this is
happening just weeks before 22 states will
begin legislative season

— many of which are

key target states for COS in 2024.

Now is the time to make bold moves in the
states while our opposition is most likely to be
distracted by their desperate attempt to keep
Sleepy Joe in office.

We have the strategic advantage.  Our
strength lies in the states.

Now it’s time to take

swift, decisive action to secure our next state
passages and call an Article V convention
where We the People can propose
amendments that last longer than any
president’s four years in office.

We’re going on the offensive - Right now, we
have some powerful new content in our
possession that could make all the difference
with state legislators who have been on the
fence about COS.

First, we now have the full endorsement of
The Heritage Foundation

, one of the nation’s

most well-respected think tanks.

Second, we have a video of Speaker Mike
Johnson passionately arguing in favor of
Convention of States

.  We believe that,

together, these two resources will go a long
way in winning over undecided votes.
