====== What else can you do? ======

All Convention of States (COS) Maryland supporters need to contact their State General Assembly members. Even if you have already reached out, it will help our cause if you repeatedly contact your legislators. **Persistence pays off!**\\
\\
**Legislators act when they hear from their constituents.** Our COS Resolution already has momentum, and we need YOU to act to ensure we push the resolution to passage.\\
\\
**Your opinion counts!** [[https://hosted-page.civiclick.com/?campaign_ref=3120|Use this link]] to tell them you are in support of the 2024 Convention of States resolution.\\
\\
Passing our COS Resolution will require all of us to work together, urging our legislature to stand up against Washington, D.C. Contact your General Assembly members and encourage them to agree to represent your position in support of our COS Resolution.
