Hey frens! Was wondering if we have any members of COS or at least any petition signers.
I know while we are waiting on the plan to take things over, we can still be proactive and put some skin in the game. We all complain, but for many of us, what are we doing beyond complaining?

Here’s a brief snippet:
WHAT’S A CONVENTION OF STATES ANYWAY?
Article V of the U.S. Constitution gives states the power to call a Convention of States to propose amendments. It takes 34 states to call the convention and 38 to ratify any amendments that are proposed. Our convention would only allow the states to discuss amendments that, “limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, impose fiscal restraints, and place term limits on federal officials.”
I've known about a COS and Article V for a long time, but I have seen little real effort to make it happen. The chatter has been going on for several years now. I recall that Mark Levin was an advocate for it, and even wrote a book about his suggested actions, "The Liberty Amendments."
If the stated purpose ("Our convention would only allow the states to discuss amendments that, “limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, impose fiscal restraints, and place term limits on federal officials,” then We The People might support a COS. But knowing the Left as we all do, how long would it be before [THEY] got their greasy fingers on it and turn the COS into an absolute shit show? That's about all they are good for.
If anything, it helps grow grass roots movements and that will expedite the red pilling. I went to a COS event in my verrrry blue state of Maryland. People are getting very motivated to create change.
If it never succeeded, at the very least it informed thousands or even millions of their rights as citizens.
But to each their own. Some people don’t want to get involved and that’s ok. But they don’t have much of a right to complain if they don’t do anything besides complain.
Everyday citizens like us are who built this country, fought for it, defended it, and damnit we will take it back too. I’m not going to sit around and wait for someone else to save me, I’m going to fight.
I'm in MD too. I've been frustrated with the people I know (mostly conservatives) just throwing up their hands and saying our state is lost. I refuse to believe it and will look into when the next one of these events is occurring.
That is great to hear! Check out the website and review their materials - if you feel compelled, sign the petition. I am new to it, but I’m finally putting my money where my mouth is. I’ve been trying to figure out how I can get more involved, and this is one small step!
I just started looking it over. I have to believe there are more of us than we realize.
