| ===== Welcome to Convention of States California ===== |
We are a grassroots army of 150,000+ patriots in California, dedicated to ensuring that the important decisions, are made as close to home as possible. We believe that local voices make better choices for our communities, neighborhoods, and schools. Washington, D.C.'s one size fits all style of governance, doesn't work for a state as diverse as California. Where each county, town, and community has different cultures, different ideas, and different priorities on issues of policy.
Our mission is to educate the citizens of California about Article V for the purpose of restoring self-governance to the people of the state. Our goal is to join those states that have already passed in calling a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress. Sign the petition and join us!

| ===== The Project Explained… ===== | ===== ===== |
 | Who We Are PURPOSE Convention of States Action is a 501 ©(4) non-profit organization founded for the purpose of stopping the runaway power of the federal government. We believe Washington, D.C., is broken and will not fix itself. The federal government is spending this country into the ground, seizing power from the states and taking liberty from the people. We have a solution that is as big as the problem. |
| What We Want To Do GOAL Convention of States Action (COSA) seeks to urge and empower state legislators to call a convention of states. Delegates to the convention will have the power to propose amendments to the Constitution that would curb the abuses of the federal government. Article V of the Constitution gives them this power; the COS Project will give them an avenue through which they can use it. |  |
 | Why We Want To Do It PROBLEM - The Spending and Debt Crisis - The Regulatory Crisis - Congressional Attacks on State Sovereignty - Federal Takeover of the Decision-Making Process |
| How We Will Do It PLAN - It takes 34 states to call the convention and 38 to ratify any amendments that are proposed. Our convention would only allow the states to discuss amendments that, “limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, impose fiscal restraints, and place term limits on federal officials.” - We believe grassroots support is the key to successfully calling a convention. We are building a political operation in all 50 states, recruiting 100 citizens who are ready to contact their state legislators in at least 75% of the state legislative districts. |  |
 | What About California CALIFORNIA'S PLAN GOES ONE STEP FURTHER Introduce the grassroots to getting involved by familiarizing them with their local government. Encourage people to be an influential voice in their community. We believe that local government is the best representative voice of we the people. By working with the municipalities, we believe we can have the most meaningful impact on our legislators and our communities. Contributing to the improvement of our counties as well as our state. |

 == Kimberly Hogan, State Director == | > “California has a rich history of using Article V and the Resolution process to hold Washington D.C. accountable. Our Legislature used to know full well the power & authority it has, and they exercised it often. So why not now? California needs to stand up and lead the effort to limit Washington's time, money, and power.” Sign our petition and be part of the solution. |
