Title: Endorsers vs Opponents Original CoS Document (slug): [[https://conventionofstates.com/files/230-progressive-organizations-oppose-cos|230-progressive-organizations-oppose-cos]] Login Required to view? No Attached File: COSA_Endorsers_Opponents_022024.pdf Below is a list of modern leaders who have officially endorsed the Convention of States. While many Americans have chosen to stand shoulder to shoulder with COS there are also those that have publicly opposed the efforts for an Article V Convention.\r\r\\ The George Soros funded left-wing policy group Common Cause declared war on COS, announcing the formation of the largest radical left alliance in US history. Almost every radical, liberal, progressive, Marxist group in America signed onto a coalition to oppose the use of Article V and the Convention of States as provided in our Constitution. \r\\ \r\\ In doing so, they accomplished something that even Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders couldn’t: they unified the radical left with one voice.\r\\ Created: 2018-03-05 01:39:33 Updated: 2025-02-28 19:00:00 Published: 2018-03-04 13:00:00 Converted: 2025-04-14T19:25:31.298999445 ---- {{:cb_mirror_public:media:files_6060_pdfto001.png?nolink&918x1188 |background image}} **ENDORSERS** **OPPONENTS** **Sign the petition and donate today at ** **Convention//of //States.com** {{:cb_mirror_public:media:files_6060_pdfto002.png?nolink&918x1188 |background image}} **CONVENTION //of// STATES ** **IS** ** ** **ENDORSED BY** **Mark Levin\\ Sen.

Article V \\ exists so that the people have the \\ final say, not the federal government. ** **Yes, it can happen—and yes, it  ** **should happen.”** **BEN SHAPIRO** **WASHINGTON IS BROKEN** **UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS HAVE STRIPPED STATES **of their rightful decision-making authority.  Consequently, the debt is out of control, regulations crush free enterprise, and our freedoms have  been stolen. But we have a solution as big as the problem.  Article V of the Constitution allows the states to call a convention for proposing amendments to limit  federal spending, debt, and regulations. Amendments can also create better checks on the judiciary and  restore the Constitution as written, in place of the Constitution as interpreted by activist judges. **“There’s only one movement in America  ** **that is standing up to destructive forces \\ and it’s Convention of States.  ** **There’s not another one.

RAND PAUL** **“I’ve dedicated my life to exposing the ** **lies, the criminal acts, and unethical ** **practices committed by the Deep State ** **in Washington D.C. I am under no illusion ** **that those in D.C. will ever voluntarily ** **give up their power. ...
