Get Informed, Make a Difference

This is a grassroots movement and if we are to be effective in getting a convention of states resolution passed in Maryland, we need to be be able to intelligently explain to others what we are trying to do and why. 

We should all be knowledgeable of our state governments, of the Constitution and of our history. We also need to be engaged with our legislators. This is beneficial not just for this cause. It makes us better citizens, as well.

There is too much information to present on one page, so we've split it into two topics:

Maryland Government Overview
Convention of States Overview

A convention of states will only happen if two-thirds of the state legislatures (34 states) pass resolutions calling for the convention to propose amendments. Fifteen states have passed a resolution, but Maryland is not yet one of them. In order for us to be successful in Maryland, we must understand the process in Maryland.

Check out our Maryland Government Overview page for information on:

• The Maryland Constitution
• How the Maryland legislature is structured
• How resolutions and bills are passed
• How to find and contact your legislators
• Legislators that sponsored or co-sponsored the resolution last session
• Other useful information and links

• Why we need to amend the Constitution
• How an Article V Convention of States would work
