Our Founding Fathers predicted it all.
They may not have known about vaccine mandates, big tech censorship, or indoctrination in our schools — but they did know THIS: The federal government would one day grow tyrannical.
It was inevitable.
And when it did, the states would need a constitutional recourse to check the feds’ power, without resorting to a second bloody revolution.
That’s why 234 years ago today, they proposed Article V. It gave We the People authority to call a Convention of States to propose amendments that limit the power of the federal government.
And that’s exactly what we’re going to do.
It takes 34 states to call the convention, and we already have 15 onboard.
We’ve seen tremendous progress in the following six states and we expect them to be next to join the movement:
Ohio: The COS resolution was introduced in the Ohio House with two primary sponsors and 15 co-sponsors, including influential leader, Speaker Pro Temp Tim Ginter. Our resolution is currently pending a hearing in the House Committee on State and Local Government.
Wisconsin: The full WI Assembly passed the COS resolution with a landslide vote of 58-36! That means if the Senate follows suit, Wisconsin will become state #16 to join the movement.
Pennsylvania: Our resolution was introduced in the House with 19-sponsors, with bi-partisan support!
Michigan: Rep Matt Hall has introduced the resolution, with an impressive list of 25 co-sponsors!
South Carolina: Thanks to our supporters packing multiple overflow hearing rooms, our resolution passed both the South Carolina House and Senate Judiciary Subcommittees. We secured full House passage with a vote of 66-42.
Nebraska: In a bold strategic move, Sen. Halloran used a rare procedure to advance the COS resolution. Now, we’re lined up for a full vote by the unicameral legislature — putting us just one vote away from passage!
This is just a small glimpse into the momentum happening all across the nation. We the People are FIRED UP and are taking bold moves to use the Founder’s solution and drain the swamp — permanently.
The best part? There’s not a single thing Joe Biden and his corrupt cronies can do to stop us.
It certainly is time, but the JBS types are hopeless.
Yup.
COS can address that. Don’t have much faith that the states will have the stones to repeal it though.
They have the power…. Sadly, not the will.
Don’t expect to get any traction for a convention here on FR. The Soros trolls and gutless, brainwashed old goats on FR will shout it down.

Agree. “Democracy,” meaning the people voting directly for nearly everything is too ingrained. Scotus itself foolishly regards the franchise as the right that protects all others.
What would be the odds of at least several sitting US Reps, and/or Senators being appointed to a COS? 100%
You mentioned something about repealing the 17th amendment.
See statement above, they won’t vote against their own interests...ever.
In order for a COS to have any validity, there would have to be exclusions for ANYONE who is now, or ever has been, a federally elected officeholder, or anyone who has been SES, or been GS-12 or above.
Too much risk with unknowns... i.e. over-reaches and outright usurpations.
The democRATS are disreputable adversaries and cannot be reasoned with, nor trusted.
COS = no thanks
It would be better to retake the levers of power via the cartridge box since the ballot box is now pointless.
Sigh. With election thefts going on, do you really think there will be no cheating on this Article?
Soros & the Communist Party already have “new Constitutions” ready to go. Who knows how many more have Constitutions?
NO! I’ll fight this tooth and nail. Likely outcome will be the loss of our essential 2A! NO! Not worth the risk!

100% agree.
Yes, we’re making quiet progress without media attention.
I still say the best way to bring this to fruition is for Donald Trump to support the movement.
