**//In mid-April, on Good Friday, 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. In doing so, they accomplished something that even Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders couldn't: they unified the radical left with one voice.//**

**////What you see below is taken directly from the press release issued on\\
//////Good Friday, April 14, 2017 by Common Cause://**

The undersigned organizations strongly urge state legislatures to oppose efforts to pass a resolution to call for a constitutional convention. We also strongly urge state legislatures to rescind any application for an Article V constitutional convention in order to protect all Americans’ constitutional rights and privileges from being put at risk and up for grabs.
