Attention COS patriots: Georgia needs your help! Tomorrow, January 24, at 9:30am the state senate Rules Committee will hold a hearing to discuss the COS application. This is a huge step towards passing the application in Georgia, and we need to show the committee we mean business.
So here’s what you can do:
If you live in Georgia, go to the meeting! It will be held at the Georgia State Capitol in hearing room #450. We need to pack the room so the senators know how many Georgians support a Convention of States.
If you can’t make it to Atlanta, you can still help. Send an email voicing your support to info@conventionofstates.com. You can type your own or simply use the sample letter below:
Hello,
My name is [Your Name], and I support the Georgia State Senate resolution (SR 736) to apply for a Convention of States.
A Convention of States is the last, best chance to curb the abuses of the federal government and force Congress to be fiscally responsible. The Founder’s included the Convention of States option in Article V for precisely the situation in which we find ourselves today. It’s our responsibility to use the tool the Founders gave us to limit the federal government’s power and jurisdiction.
Georgia was the fourth state to ratify the Constitution—I want Georgia to be the first state to save it.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
We’ll give your letters to our team in Georgia, and they’ll print them out and bring them to the hearing. We want a huge stack of letters, so get yours in ASAP.
Don’t live in Georgia but want to help? No problem. You can still send us your letters voicing your support for the Georgia resolution. With letters from folks across the country, we can show the Georgia state senators this movement has nationwide support!
Sending an email takes five minutes, but those five minutes will bring us one step closer to preserving liberty in our country. Thanks for standing with us!
Try these 2 links...
Actually, I don’t need to refute them. I know all I need to know by the way you proponents here argue the merits and discuss the fears of normal people who are distrustful.
You can keep it and save it for someone you might convince here.

“This is a last resort sort of violence”
The “last resort” is violence as empowered by the 2A.
A COS end result could be the loss of 2A as we know it and a host of other new amendments glorifying a corrupt society.
The romantic notion that somehow all participants would have have a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington moment of constitutional integrity is a pipe dream.
On the other hand if the point of having a COS is to push the country into such division that violence ensues, then, that’s what we’ll have. We are headed there at some point anyway.
Given what you have accurately described as:
...current gangsters [many of whom are clearly anti-Americans] are in charge. Too many crooked judges. And a crooked Justice Department. And crooks in charge of the Senate, the White House, and, I’m afraid, the House.
(plus, I will add open borders and voting registration of anyone who can produce a local utility bill, voter fraud, etc. ad nausea)
- is it not possible we have already passed the "soft" tipping point?
I for one, would rather do what is necessary to defend the Constitution rather than leave it to my sons and grandsons.
If we are headed for violence anyway, there cannot, as I said in #11, be any harm done from a state amendment convention.
Ping.
how many states are considering this?
Other posters have given a reasoned argument why it may be a bad idea.
What argument do you have that the fears are unfounded? I’d like to know.
Without opposing information, I would be scared to let any old amendments in. My gosh - think how bad it could be!
So, what’s on your mind?
;^)
Said gangsters, judges, DOJ, senate, house, La Casa Blanca are not invited to a state amendment convention. The framers designed it that way.
Did you happen to hear the Indiana State Senator talking to Glenn Beck today about COS? Here’s a link to the interview....
The Indiana State senator David Long - on Glenn's show today - explained that process very clearly.
2 things... The COS will decide on a process for getting amendments approved and out to the states AND no matter what is proposed by a whacky, liberal state, it would have to be ratified by 38 (3/4) of the states...
So if CA decided that they wanted a 2A repeal, it would FIRST have to get through the COS amendment process (unlikely) but IF IT DID, are there 38 states to adopt AND vote yes?
There is no guarantee. The Left has had its way with our republic for 101 years. We have the peaceful means to reverse the hard tyranny.
Obama, his courts and administrative bureaucrats make law, not the congress. The counterrevolution to ours of 1776 is complete.
Because of the downwind effects of the 17th amendment, elections have become proforma charades to make the gullible think the constitution is still in effect.
My gosh - think how bad it could be! It is here. Look around.
I see. Worth a shot, DC is broken and out of control.
how many states so far?
Senator Long is skillfully shepherding the process.
