Utah Last Month:

We had a great

June

In-Person meeting at the

South Jordan Library.  We discussed:

A. – “

Brilliant explanation of Article V &

Convention of States

” - by Robert Kelly, Staff

Counsel of Convention of States
Action:

BRILLIANT explanation of Article V

Convention of States - COSAction

B. – The Convention of States Platform – What the
Convention of States would discuss and are
proposing:
1 – Impose fiscal restraints on the federal
government – have a balanced federal budget.
2 – Limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal
government.
3 – Term limits on Congress and federal officials.
C. – Contact your Legislators – if you don’t know
who they are – here is a good link that can show
you:  Utah State Legislative District Maps

District Map (utah.gov)

.  Just click on that link and

put your home address and zip code in the open
cells then click “Find” it will bring up your local state
Representative and your Senator.  You can click on
their name to get their phone #, address, and
email.  It’s best to send them a handwritten letter –
they will take notice of that!
D. – Video - How can you get involved with COS –

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.

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

What brought you to COS (Your Why):

Our

government, which we supposedly elect, will
