"Would you attend a committee hearing?"

Maryland's official Convention of States resolution will be considered at a hearing in the House Rules and Executive Nominations Committee on Monday, March 4, at 2:00 pm.

Almost exactly one year ago, I engaged our political system for the first time. I’m not referring to voting, donating, or campaigning for a candidate (many of us do that on a very regular basis), but rather taking part and interacting in the process.

It was one year ago I was asked, “Would you attend a committee hearing?” I didn’t even know what a committee hearing was, but something inside me responded, “Yeah, I’ll be there.”

For the first time, I met the people that were fellow COS supporters and volunteers. I met the legislators that put their names on our resolution. I was taking part in the process the Framers intended that we all be involved in as citizens of a free republic.

So, here we are, one year later. We officially filed our Convention of States application in the Maryland legislature titled Maryland House Joint Resolution 5 (MD HJ5 2019) and will be considered at a hearing in the House Rules and Executive Nominations Committee on Monday March 4 at 2:00 pm.

I humbly ask that you, like myself one year ago, make plans to attend this hearing. If you support our cause and want to assist in our efforts, please **CLICK HERE** to join us on March 4th in Annapolis.

The easiest way to do that is fill the room, the floor, the building, with COS Maryland supporters.

Will you join us?
