COS National Update:
Held a HUGE National event
THE TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW.
A RALLY TO DEMAND ACTION
We need to fix our Southern border!!!
On April 29, COS leaders and devoted patriots
assembled at the Texas Capitol in Austin to
demand that our elected leaders take action to end
the humanitarian crisis at our southern border.
Our elected leaders have failed to secure
the border and repel the invasion.
We will no longer accept the erosion of America or
its values by allowing the humanitarian crisis at our
southern border to continue.
We must act NOW to repel
this unprecedented invasion.
Our nation’s leaders have failed to act, so now it’s
up to us
— the American people — to
demand action.
Convention of States Action has the largest
organization of liberty-loving grassroots activists in
the United States. Although our primary objective
is to pass the COS Resolution and call an Article V
Convention, we simply cannot sit by and watch as
mass genocide sweeps across our southern
border.

Imagine the impact of Texas passing this ground-
breaking legislation - a Texas Border Defense Unit
to defend US citizens. Think about if our southern
states step up and do what the federal government
has failed to
—
secure the border against
an invasion of dangerous cartels…
Not on our watch.
Not in our America.
The road to victory won’t be easy. But this is a
battle we MUST
fight with everything we’ve got. If
not, can we truly call ourse
lves “the land of the free
and home of the brave?”
If you were not able to be there in person with Ted
Nugent, Congressman Chip Roy, Lara Logan, CJ
Pearson, Mark Meckler, and thousands of patriots
to demand action that will stop the wave of death
and destruction…
Please click the link below to see the whole event.
If you can’t watch the whole 2 hours and 45
minutes of the event
– Please at least watch the
first 10 minutes and last 10 minutes with Mark
Meckler and his Call to Action!!

Utah Update:
I asked one of our Volunteer Activists, Scott Pratt to
watch the “How Many More” rally in Austin, Texas
and give us his perspective and summary of the
rally
– A great BIG Thank you to Scott!!
https:%%//%%youtu.be/CF7g9JAQxAQ \\
By all accounts it was a fine day in Texas. Good
Weather. Thousands of patriotic Texans gathered
at their seat of government in Austin to demand
control of the southern border. Too bad they had to
be there at all. Too bad Texas has to try and repel
the invasion of their state because the national
government will not. God Bless Texas for being
willing to try.
I was excited when I heard that COS was one of
many sponsors for this event and immediately
registered to attend. I so wanted to stand with my
brothers and sisters in defense of their state and
our country. It was going to be great to stand with
hand over heart as Uncle Ted (Nugent) played a
spirited rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner on
his well-worn Gibson Byrdland. To hear him
demand that we “Remember the Damned Alamo”!!
To go forward and “raise maximum hell” with our
representatives until they begin doing what we
hired them to do.

To listen to the many other speakers, outline the
atrocities being committed by the drug cartels
against innocent human beings on both sides of the
border. To hear Mark Meckler implore us all to
pledge our Lives, Fortunes and Sacred Honor not
to our Country, The Flag, George Washington, or
even to God but to EACH OTHER! To never quit
fighting for Liberty “until the first shovel of dirt hits
the damned pine box”!!! I wept openly.
Yes, it would have great to be there. But I WASN’T.
Time, distance, money, other commitments and a
million other things (excuses) got in the way. Plain
and simple I did not answer the call. I should have
actually been there. We all need to “be there” in
the defense of God and Country.
Watch it yourself and see what you think:

As mentioned, our Federal Government is no
longer performing their constitutionally mandated
duties. Rather they seek to enslave us all under a
socialistic banner. It is now left to
“We The People”
to defend this great experiment in self-governance.
To take our power back. It is why we need a
Convention of States to make that happen. If you
are not presently involved in the movement please
consider joining us in the defense of freedom.
It is not good enough to just walk around bitching
and moaning. Action is all that matters. It really is
now or never. Please get involved:

Legislative Liaison:
Be sure to contact your Legislators -
Elected officials represent our community and our
interests, so let them know who you are and what
you care about! Take time to introduce yourself
and your organization to public officials serving
your community
– including both federal and state
representatives.
Make an appointment and discuss:
1- Their stance on Convention of States.
2- What Bills they are working on that COS
could possibly get behind and support.
3- Notify your District Captain, or Regional
Captain, or Legislative Liaison with the
results after contacting them.

Monthly Spotlight:
Name: Mary Wenner
COS Title: District Captain Utah HD-44
City raised in: Draper, Utah
City current living in: South Jordan, Utah
Favorite Hobbies: Seeking truth in ALL its
forms, Reading, Card Making, Biking, Caring for
Animals. We have 4 dogs, rabbits, chickens and if I
had my way, we would have a goat and cows.
What brought you to COS (Your Why): I am
a seeker of truth in politics and religion. I found that
Convention of States was the only solution to
getting balance back from our federal government.
States and the Executive powers need to work
together for Americans freedoms not against each
other. I believe the constitution is the key to our
freedom. I am grateful our founding fathers
included Article V in the constitution. They were
wise men who knew that one day the federal
government would be too large and very greedy for
power and money. We live in those days today. I
want to be part of the solution for our future
generations. I believe Article V and a Convention
of States is the answer I have been looking for.
Inspirational thought: Freedom is not free. It is
earned and passed down to our future generations
after much of their sacrifice including many deaths
by our forefathers. We have a duty and obligation
to provide freedom and prosperity to our future
generations. We need to be part of the solution.
We need to get involved in grass root efforts and
fight for our constitutional and God given rights.
We can do this together.
Let’s all get involved in
creating a better future for all of us.
More about You: I am an eternal optimist. I love
people. I find that most differences in the world are
misunderstandings. Generally, people are good
and generally people are doing their best.
Let’s
judge less and love more.
