Servant Leadership in Action – Maryland Meets Mark Meckler

Up close and personal with Convention of States Action President and co-founder

A Servant Leader is someone who can influence others to get to “there.” Not just to get there, but to grow from the experience. For Convention of States Action (COSA), “there” is gaining enough support to call an Article V Amendments Convention. And COSA President and co-founder Mark Meckler is influential in inspiring a national grassroots army to bring that “there” to fruition.

On June 17th, Maryland COSA volunteers were treated to a visit from Mark, who thrives on “just hanging out” with those he inspires. Mark is a man of conviction. He has dedicated his life to improving the lives of all Americans. In doing so, he has inspired people across the country to take an active role in self-governance.

Mark Meckler has a rich history of fighting for self-governance and limiting federal power.

How often have you thought, “Someone needs to do something”? We all have at one time or another. Mark recognized that “someone” was not only himself, but all of us. He believed that if our country was to avoid disaster, patriots must step up. And so, in 2009, he co-founded the Tea Party Patriots, the largest Tea Party group in the United States. As a result of Mark's leadership, the Tea Party grew into a massive, nationwide movement that elected numerous members to the U.S. Congress, many of whom still hold powerful positions today.

It is that experience and leadership that Mark later brought to Convention of States Action. When it comes to building a strong, unified grassroots movement, Mark Meckler is a master. But you’d never know it from hearing him speak.

In this chaotic world, many people don’t know what to do or what to believe. There’s a manufactured divide - conservatives, liberals, independents, libertarians; blue states, red states, and on and on. Dedicated members of the “swamp” work hard to keep us apart. But if we set aside the rhetoric, we all want the same thing: to be free to be who we are and live in peace. We want to know there’s hope.

If you’ve recently thought, “Someone needs to do something,” - what if that someone is you?
We’d love to have you join us at Convention of States Action as a volunteer in whatever capacity works for you. There are plenty of options, and you are a perfect fit for at least one of them.

You can do something. You can be part of the change. A simple way to take action is by becoming a COS Action Social Media Warrior. There are daily calls to action to push out COS missions nationwide from your own social media accounts like X and Facebook.

An Article V convention of the states is the “escape clause” from a powerful and oppressive federal government. Our government works for us, “We the People”. The US Constitution places restrictions on Government, not “We the People”. The Federal Government has been operating unconstitutionally for far too long by usurping powers belonging to the states. “We the People” recognize this. Therefore, the Article V Convention of States (COS) movement was founded over a decade ago. The COS platform seeks to:

1. Impose fiscal restraints on the federal government.

2. Limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government.

3. Place term limits on Congress and federal officials.

19 states have passed the COS resolution. 34 states are required to hold the COS Convention. 38 states are required to ratify any amendments that come from the convention.
