restoring it to her citizens.” \\ From **SENATOR MARCO RUBIO**, selected to \\ serve as Secretary of State: “The Convention \\ of States Project is a genuine grassroots \\ movement to achieve that goal and one that I \\ am proud to be a part of.”  \\ From **VIVEK RAMASWAMY**, selected to lead \\ Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency \\ alongside Elon Musk: “Article V \\ convention…I’d say do it! It’s going to be good \\ for the country.” \\ From **MIKE HUCKABEE**, U.S, Ambassador to \\ Israel: “I urge you to join me in supporting the \\ Convention of States Project.”  \\ Even **VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT JD VANCE** \\ has indicated his support for calling an Article \\ V convention. \\ And as they
