As patriots on the front line for liberty, we need you to call out bad legislative behavior and poor leadership. A single Assemblyman in Nevada is holding the Convention of States resolution hostage.  Believe it or not, the Constitution of Nevada actually requires Article V legislation like ours to be proposed and approved, yet because of his fear, Assemblyman Lynn Stewart is single-handedly stopping COS.

If you live in North Carolina, it's time for you to make your voice heard in Raleigh.

As you may know, our House Bill (H321) to call for an Article V Convention is assigned to the House Judiciary Committee. That committee held an informational hearing last week, and our National Director, Michael Farris, testified at the hearing. The committee members heard from one of the top experts in the country about the need for a Convention and the safety of the process. They needed information - they got information. They will be voting soon - they need to hear from every one of you!

It's crunch time in Nevada, and we need your help to save the Convention of States resolution!

All bills have to be out of committee this week, but one Assemblyman is keeping the Convention of States resolution from being scheduled for a vote.

CALL TO ACTION, TENNESSEE! The Senate will vote on our resolution this week!

We need you to call YOUR Senator and ask them to co-sponsor SJR0067 -- our call for an article V Convention of States to limit the power, scope and jurisdiction of the federal government and to limit the terms of its officials.

This article was written by Oklahoma State Representative Gary Banz and published on NewsOK.com.

Federalism is defined as the division of power between a strong central government and equally strong regional governments called states. Nowhere is that principle displayed more prominently than in the language of Article V of the U.S. Constitution.

The good news keeps rolling in.

Yesterday, the Tennessee Senate Finance, Ways, and Means Committee passed the Convention of States resolution on a 8-1-2 vote.

Today, Mississippi stands at a crossroad.

In the next five days, Mississippi’s legislature will adjourn for the year. Will your legislators fight to protect your constitutional rights and impose much needed restraints on our runaway federal government before session ends?

We have fantastic news from Missouri!

Michael Farris will be joining the North Carolina Convention of States state leadership team to meet with members of the North Carolina House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at 12:30 p.m. EST.

The Committee wants to learn more about our project and Article V before voting on our bill (H321). We are grateful for this opportunity, and we ask for your thoughts and prayers as we meet with these 11 representatives. 

The Tennessee Senate Finance, Ways, and Means Committee is set to vote on our resolution this Wednesday, April 1.
