We believe Washington, D.C. is broken and will not fix itself. The federal government is spending this country into the ground, seizing power from the states, and taking liberty from the people. We have a solution as big as the problem. Build an engaged army of self-governing grassroots activists. But, we're also pretty bent on passing the Convention of States resolution in Ohio so our state can join the 19 other states calling for an Article V state amending convention to address: * Imposing fiscal restraints on the federal government * Limiting the power and jurisdiction of the federal government * Setting term limits for Congress and federal officials ===== What is a Convention of States? ===== A Convention of States is a convention called by the state legislatures for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution. This power is granted to them under Article V of the Constitution. It is not a constitutional convention and cannot throw out the Constitution. A Convention of States can only propose amendments that fit within the topic of the applications adopted by the state legislatures. ===== Who Are We? ===== Convention of States Action is a grassroots movement working to unite states in proposing amendments to curb federal overreach and restore liberties. Our mission is to empower states and citizens to take control back from an out-of-control federal government. ===== Watch the Late Sen. Tom Coburn's Message to Congress ===== ====== An error occurred. ====== Unable to execute JavaScript. ==== “America doesn't trust you anymore.” ==== === ~ Tom Coburn === ===== Why Call a Convention of States? ===== Washington, D.C. will never voluntarily relinquish power, no matter who is elected. It is time for American citizens to take a stand against tyranny and make a legitimate coordinated nationwide effort to curb the power of the federal government. Only a Convention of States has the constitutional power to repair the damage and halt the federal government from further eroding the liberties of the sovereign citizens. ==== Please watch the below video to learn more about our movement. ==== ====== An error occurred. ====== Unable to execute JavaScript. ===== Article V of the Constitution of the United States ===== “The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.” ===== We Could Sure Use Some Volunteers! ===== ==== Would you consider becoming a COS volunteer? ==== We’re all volunteers! Our goal as volunteers is to be trained and capable of educating citizens and state legislators about our effort to pass the COS resolution in Ohio and hold a state convention to propose amendments. ==== What are your interests and skills? ==== * Do you have computer, writing, organizational or public speaking skills? * Talking to people, social media, hosting, or working local events? * Attending local meetings, making phone calls, or sending texts? * Can you assist with special technology?
