Orlando, Florida:

https:%%//%%conventionofstates.com/live-watch-the-\\ convention-of-states-reclaiming-liberty-leadership-\\ summit-2022-broadcasting-from-orlando-florida

The political corruption and the Deep Swamp
in Washington D.C. threaten our very way of
life.  How can we fight back and restore the
nation to the structure and principles upon
which it was founded?  We organize, train, and
mobilize.  To prepare for the fights to come,
Convention of States Action is hosting
'Reclaiming Liberty' to address the
monumental problems that face our nation.

What brought you to COS (Your Why):

Alex

wanted to get involved with government.  He saw
on the Glenn Beck page some Non-profit
organizations he really supported.  Convention of
States was one of them.  Alex looked it up and read
up about it.  He signed the petition, soon received a
text, and then a phone call from a volunteer.  After
learning more, Alex decided to be a volunteer.  He
liked the truth behind Convention of States.  That
the forefathers of America put in Article V in the
Constitution.  That the States can convene to
propose and ratify amendments.  Alex later learned
it is the largest grass roots army in America.  It is
also about citizens for self-governance.  He sees
that it is about citizens uniting to preserve America
and the Spirit of America and the Noble principles
upon which America was founded.  Alex really
enjoys working with other COS volunteers.

Inspirational thought:



“

He is a wise man who

does not grieve for the things which he has not, but
rejoices for those which he has.” – Epictetus
Gratitude is the Mother of all Virtue.
