The Convention of States resolution did not achieve the super majority vote required to be considered in this budget session. 

In the Senate, the vote was 17-14, 21 was required. 

Friday was the deadline for bills to have an introductory vote. Due to lengthy discussions about the budget, time ran out before the House could consider our resolution. We didn't get a vote in the House.

It can be disappointing to have the constitutional solution to restore the Republic at hand and not be able to use it for lack of a few votes.

However there are positives to be noted this budget session.  We have to acknowledge our supportive Legislators and the effort they put in to supporting Convention of States.  More Legislators than ever before committed to voting for Convention of States should it come up for a vote. This bodes well for the future.  

**We must also recognize those COS supporters who came to the Capitol, reaffirming that we are everywhere and we aren't going away!**

Please reach out to the sponsors and co-sponsors of the Senate and House resolutions, and those who voted Aye for Convention of States in the Senate. Thank them for their leadership and courage. It is important that they are recognized for standing with the U.S. Constitution.

Washington D.C. will continue to spend too much and regulate too much.  They won't stop, and nor must we.
