Con-Con Victories Press
On!
Victories keep rolling
in! And we owe it all to patriots like you who continue to fight to preserve
the Constitution. Thank you to all those that have helped!
In Washington State,
BBA, COS, and Wolf PAC Con-Con resolutions were introduced, but never came up
for a vote
before the deadline, so those Con-Con proposals are dead for the year!
In Wyoming, the
"single subject Amendment" Con-Con application failed to get a
majority of votes and the Convention of States Project
(COS) couldn't even get an introduction vote (similar story in Colorado).
In South Carolina, a
House Judiciary Committee hearing didn't go so well for COS. Their Con-Con
application is likely dead for the year.
All of the New Hampshire
Article V resolutions were voted down in committee.
The New Mexico
legislature opposed Wolf PAC's Con-Con application, which died in committee
last week.
In case you missed it,
Idaho, Virginia, and South Dakota recently killed Con-Con applications as well.
Let's continue our
success! Rescissions can happen. Take a look at our JBS status map to
see where your state stands. Many states are still being targeted and only six
more are needed to trigger a modern convention.
Let your state
legislators know of these victories to help them stand their ground! Our new
video, "Tricked Into Gun Control," is a highly relevant eye-opener to
share.
If you're not part of
the fight, contact your JBS coordinator today. Just input your zip code and get contact info for your area. With your help, we will win!
Thanks again to all who
have given so much!

A Convention
to propose amendments to the United States Constitution, also called
an Article V Convention,
or Amendments Convention,
called for by two-thirds (currently 34) of the state
legislatures, is one of two processes authorized by Article
Five of the United States Constitution whereby the Constitution, the nation's frame of
government, may be altered. Amendments may also be proposed by the Congress with a
two-thirds vote in both
the House of
Representatives and the Senate.
Comments
All of
our current Amendments were proposed by the Congress and then ratified by the
States. This is the safest way to pass
Amendments. The Article V process that starts with petitions from the states
results in an open convention that is a threat to our original
Constitution. The delegates to this
convention are appointed by State Legislatures.
25 State
Legislatures have voted to petition Congress for an Article V Convention. The
fact that this initiative is failing is a good thing. It would result in the
adoption of the “New States Constitution” written by Liberals and based on the
Soviet Union Constitution.
