If you live in North Carolina, it's time for you to make your voice heard in Raleigh.

As you may know, our House Bill (H321) to call for an Article V Convention is assigned to the House Judiciary Committee. That committee held an informational hearing last week, and our National Director, Michael Farris, testified at the hearing. The committee members heard from one of the top experts in the country about the need for a Convention and the safety of the process. They needed information - they got information. They will be voting soon - //they need to hear from every one of you!//

The legislators listed below are the members of that committee.

What do you need to do? We need you to //**contact every member of the committee**// and urge them to support our resolution. If one of the committee members is YOUR representative, be sure to let them know that.  But you can (and should) **contact every one** of the 11 members. Please remember to //**be kind, polite and professional**//. We have already been told by some of the legislators that COS people are highly regarded in the Capitol because they are not rude or obnoxious. We want to keep it that way.\\
\\
This is //not// the time to be too busy to get involved. This is the time to **//make time to be a Patriot!//**\\
\\
Please **email AND call** all 11 committee members. Yes, it will take a few minutes of your time. But we **//must//** get through this committee in order to get our Bill to the House floor for a vote. We cannot let our efforts get defeated in this committee.  So it is critical that you invest a few minutes now for the future of the country. Our children and grandchildren are counting on us!

Here’s a sample email you may want to use as a model for yours, as well as a possible guide for a phone conversation.

//Dear Representative [%%**%%%%**%%*],//

//Thank you for your service to the great State of North Carolina as a member of the House and as a member of the House Judiciary Committee. I want to express my views regarding House Bill 321, which was recently sent to your committee. I strongly support an Article V Convention of States to bring power back to North Carolina from Washington, DC. I want NC legislators like you making decisions for North Carolina rather than someone in the federal government. I urge you to support House Bill 321 and approve its passage out of your committee for a vote by the full House.//

//Thank you again for you service,//

//[Your name and Town]//

Please feel free to use this as a guide, but I encourage you to use your own words to make it personal. And remember: //be very nice//! Here are the committee members and their contact information.
