From Chris Owens, 5/27/18, Eagle Forum Please make sure you write letters to North Carolina and Michigan, if you haven't written in the past week or so. I'll be blasting about once every week or 10 days for those States-- so please keep blasting them with different thoughts.
It worked in Iowa, and 2018 has been sweet so far.

We don't need COSP gloating. They're bad enough when they have nothing to brag about!
The purpose of this blast is to update you and bring your attention to a couple of new articles/cartoons.
Convention of States Project: COSP has added no states yet in 2018 and hasn't added one state since May 12, 2017 (MO).They have a total of 12.Their best prospects are NC and MI. They've failed in 17 states so far in 2018: HI, IA, ID, KS, KY, MD, MN, MS, NE, NH, SC, SD, UT, VT, WA, WV, WY.
Balanced Budget Amendment Task Force: BBATF has added no states in 2018, and we don't see any prospects for them for the rest of the year. The last state they added was on Nov. 7, 2017 (WI). They have a total of 28. They've failed in 6 states in 2018: KY, ME, MS, SC, VA, WA.
Wolf-PAC: So far, Wolf-PAC has added no states in 2018. Their best prospect is Massachusetts. WP has failed to add a state since June 17, 2016 (RI). They have a total of 5. Fourteen States declined to pass Wolf-PAC in 2018: CO,
HI, IA, LA, MD, ME, MO, NE, NM, OK, SC, WA, WI, WV
Term Limits USA: So far, TML added 2 states in 2018 (AL and MO), making a grand total of 3. But that doesn't matter because those states have already passed the COSP and BBA applications. So far in 2018, these 9 States declined to pass the TML application: AZ, GA, MD, ME, MS, NH, SC, TN, VT
Compact for America: CFA seems to be dying a long overdue death. By passing CFA's legislation, states are actually pre-ratifying an amendment to the US Constitution which authorizes Congress to impose a national sales tax and a national value added tax, in addition to keeping (and increasing) the income tax. CFA's new taxes amendment has been ratified in 5 states. During 2018, CFA filed in only one state (OK), where they failed.
Categories of AVC Applications (i.e. COSP, BBA, WP, TML, etc.):
Remember- no one is limited by the bogus restrictions set forth in the applications. It doesn't matter what the ostensible purpose of the application is, Congress has the power to count the applications any way they want; and the Delegates can ignore the pretended restrictions in the applications and do whatever they want at the convention. At the federal "amendments" convention of 1787, the Delegates ignored their instructions from the Continental Congress and their States and wrote a new Constitution which created a new government.
It is probable that the underlying purpose of the different forms of applications is to create the false belief in the minds of Americans that the Delegates to an Article V convention can be limited by the wording of the applications from the States. But that is a Big Lie.
Important DEL bills sponsored by COSP: Here are the states where COSP failed to pass important Delegate bills in
2018: NE, TN, VA, WV. VA's and TN's bills created new gimmicks and would have been used as model legislation throughout the country had they passed; and NE's and WV's bills were prioritized above COSP applications to facilitate COSP's passage at a later time. Hah!
Here are two recent articles that you may want to use in letters where appropriate. And attached is Bliss's latest cartoon (Lynette's idea) plus a picture and meme.
Here is Publius's latest article "Honest discourse about an Article V convention needed."

And mine: " Meckler tells legislators what they need to hear to get what he wants."

Thank you for all your letters! Thanks to a big team effort, we've had a great year! There are only about 10 states still in session, and most of those don't look like anything is moving. But North Carolina and Michigan need your help!

The Article V Convention of States we’ve been fighting to stop would authorize Congress to hold a new Continental Congressional Convention with the power to scrap the current US Constitution and replace it. The delegates would be appointed by State legislatures.
The best way to get Amendments to the US Constitution is for Congress to propose them and send them to the States for ratification. This gives voters time to read the Amendments and contact their State legislators to oppose them.
In 2016, the Article V Convention scam began and 12 States approved it and sent applications to the US Congress. At the time we argued that this was a mistake, because it posed an existential threat to US sovereignty and our rights. State legislatures bought the lie that these applications were limited to their issues like term limits, balanced budget, etc.
In 2017, it became clear that the Article V was a mistake and 17 State legislatures have voted NO so far. If 34 States approve applications, we will have a Constitutional Convention and the end of the US Constitution. So, far 12 States voted YES, 17 States voted NO and 21 States remain.
If State legislatures want a balanced budget or term limits, they can pass Resolutions, lobby for reductions in federal grants to States and stop attacking new candidates for elective office. Only George Soros and his globalists want to see the US delete the US Constitution.
To retract their applications to petition for an Article V Convention, the States that approved this disaster would need to rescind their applications.
The States that filed applications from 2014 to 2017 are Alaska, Arizona, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. Their legislatures need to withdraw their applications

My sample letter to the
Legislators! Use it and tweak it...
Dear Representative: We
have a perfectly GOOD Constitution, we JUST NEED TO OBEY IT! A Constitutional Convention CANNOT
necessarily be controlled, nor can it be LIMITED. There are too many with rose colored glasses
who THINK THAT IT CAN, however! Not one
state has passed COSP legislation since May 12, 2017 and for good reason!
Norb Leahy, Dunwoody
GA Tea Party Leader
