There are those unwilling to differentiate between the two distinct capacities of the people.
In their electoral capacity, the people chose representatives to craft statutes on their behalf.
In their sovereign capacity, the people are served by delegates with strict, limited and defined commissions to frame governing institutions superior to representatives.

OK,
But http://www.conventionofstates.com absolutely refuses to give any news about support from states. I have e-mailed them many times and have not gotten a reply, despite contributing very early on and my state was one of the first to endorse the effort.
Why do the non-responsive a-holes at COS refuse to give me the facts?

I've seen announcements from them as to:
- Which states have come on board because both houses of the legislature have passed the application;
- Which states have had one house pass the application but not the other house;
- Which states have had the application introduced into at least one house of the legislature but not yet passed by the house.
What specific kind of information were you looking for outside of the above?

I have seen none of that info from COS despite repeated attempts to specifically garner it.
And I have donated.
(I just checked again before posting)

I’ve spotted that information in their occasional press releases and articles. I haven’t seen a running tally on their website, though.

"Concentrate on the 34 smallest states," I think the 30-odd states with republican legislatures would be most productive -- like my state, Missouri, where both houses have huge Republican majorities.
