We are the Paul Reveres of our time, and our time has come to Stand Up, Show Up and Speak Up at the California State Capitol!

Maine recently joined 35 other states this year in filing the Convention of States (COS) resolution calling for an Article V convention limited to proposing amendments that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limits terms of office for its officials and members of Congress. The Convention of States Project now holds the record for filing the most identical Article V resolutions in a single year --and it demonstrates that state legislators are realizing their power to correct our nation’s most pressing problems through this long-neglected constitutional process.

By refusing the vote in favor of AJR 7, Nevada State Assembly Members violated their sworn constitutional duty to support an Article V Convention of the States.

RENO, NV, May 5 – Last month on April 9, several Nevada State Assembly Members of the Legislative Operations Committee violated the Nevada Constitution by voting against AJR 7, which requires state legislators to support and call for an Article V Convention of the States. In May, the Convention of States Project Nevada will run a full-page ad laying out the facts in the “Territorial Enterprise,” a new publication covering business and politics in the state of Nevada.

Note: Only citizens of Alabama need respond to this call to action.

Today (Monday, May 4th) our Application HJR112 has passed the House and is in the Senate Rules Committee. What happens next is up to you.

We have great news from Montgomery! 

Watch this fantastic speech by Missouri State Senator Kurt Schaefer on why we need an Article V Convention of States to rein in federal bureaucracy, federal spending, and federal career politicians:

We're very please to announce that Maine has filed the Convention of States application. Residents of Maine, contact your state representative today and voice your support for HP 804!

It's one of those times again, Louisiana! We just got word that HCR2 will possibly be heading to the floor for a vote sometime this week.

If you do not know who your representative is, click here and type in your address. Below also is an example of what you can say:

Very, very important – please read this entire message…

I have disappointing news for you today.  The NC House of Representatives has decided that the Article V Convention of States Project isn’t important enough to even consider right now.  Apparently they aren’t particularly concerned with the increasingly out of control, power grabbing federal government.  Apparently they don’t have a problem with our state authority being stripped away and claimed by the national government.  Apparently they are just fine with decisions for North Carolinians being made in Washington, DC.

We have great news from Missouri!
