In a representative republic, the legislative process often resembles the most complicated corn maze anyone can find this autumn. 

Even a straightforward resolution like that proposing a limited-purpose Article V convention is subject to the twists and turns of sponsorship, committee hearings, public testimony scheduling, votes, and moving from one chamber to another.

The several states even have several labels for resolutions. They can be referred to as plain old resolutions, joint resolutions, assembly resolutions...one's head can spin.\\
\\
It's just as easy to lose track of the progress of a resolution during the process, and often difficult for grassroots activists to describe it to someone who is just learning about Article V and our movement. 

Fortunately, a beautifully-designed new infographic produced by the Convention of States team that will make the process easy for anyone to understand is now available!

{{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/90632/90632_original.png?2550x3300}} The graphic covers the road to a passed COS resolution from start to finish with committee assignments, hearings, and votes in between. It's easy to follow and makes the maze a snap to navigate. 

There are many ways for the grassroots to employ this terrific resource:

  * Display at COS event booths
  * Publish in state newsletters and blogs
  * Provide as a handout when block walking
  * Utilize as the foundation to a meeting presentation
  * Track the progress of the COS resolution in your state
  * Share with family, friends, and colleagues to spread the word
