The Convention of States movement is built on the backs of our volunteers. This grassroots army is truly made up of average citizens just like you who have decided to step up and get involved.
One of the key roles in our organization is our District Captains (DC). These men and woman are the ones who are active in their communities in spreading the word about the COS solution and helping get others involved.
Here is a short Q&A to get some insight to better know your local DC, Deanna Becket.
Q: How long have you been involved with COS?
A: Six years.
Q: What was the big item/thing that drew you into becoming a volunteer/leader?
A: We knew that we needed to make changes in Washington D.C.. This is our only hope and answer. It was then and it is much more now.
Q: What is the most surprising thing you’ve learned in regard to COS or the U.S. Constitution?
A: I am surprised by the amount of conservative people who don’t understand how Article V works. They continue to listen to the Left and fail to dig for the truth.
Q: How active were you in politics/government before COS?
A: I had the opportunity to be part of an Intercollegiate State Legislature in college. We met at the N.D. state capitol as a team from across the state and held mock legislative sessions on the floor of the House and Senate. But since college, I withdrew from the process. I voted and supported friends who ran for office. It wasn’t until I joined COS that I began to really study the Constitution and get active in state government.
Q: What is it like being a district captain?
A: It is as full or busy as we make it to be. My husband, Chris, and I enjoy hosting events. We try to attend as many state and regional events as possible and host monthly meetings as much as we can. We educate other constituents, talk to people at fairs and gun shows, and visit by phone, email and text. Sharing our passion for standing up to the federal government is what keeps us going. On the average, we probably invest 4-5 hours each week in these activities.
Q: Which of the three pillars of COS do you feel is most important?
A: When we first began volunteering, I believed all three had equal footing. However, with the current stomping of our rights over this past year, I think this pillar is the most important now: “limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government.”
Q: Why do you believe in the COS movement?
A: I believe this grassroots army will be the constitutionally educated, guiding force in making the most change in this nation.
Q: What has been your most rewarding aspect of being involved with COS so far?
A: I enjoy organizing and serving at events. Surprising to both my husband and I was receiving two awards: the Patriot Award and the Challenge Coin.
Q: Has there been any big challenge you have overcome? What was it?
A: The first couple of years I was nervous when speaking during the hearings. As I studied more about Article V and the opposition points, my confidence grew and I was able to speak with boldness and stronger belief.
Q: What is the support for COS like in your district?
A: It has been slow for many years. Since January 2021, petitions have been flowing in and more people are stepping up to get involved and be a voice.
Q: What would you say to someone who is on the fence regarding Article V COS?
A: Dig in. Read and listen to the resources at www.conventionofstates.com/resources. Read The Law of Article V by Robert Natelson. Go to www.wallbuilders.com to learn more constitutional truth. Take the time to read and research. We have been neglecting our rights and freedoms. Now is the time.
Q: How can people in your area get involved?
A: Sign the petition and click the box that says volunteer. People can call or email me directly at 605-390-6965 or deanna.becket@cosaction.com
