Supporter of COS Ohio:
Thank you for taking the time to write letters to your legislators in support of the Convention of States Resolution HJR-3 in Ohio. We have reached out to you specifically because your representative is on the House Government Oversight Committee which will soon be voting on the resolution.
It is understood that hand-written letters are a highly effective tool for influencing elected officials. While we feel hand-written letters are best, it's fine to type them if need be.
Below is a sample letter to use as a guide if you are in need of inspiration.
Please write your letter clearly and uniquely. Make it your own by peppering in your own language. Address is included at the bottom.
Points to pepper in might be:
- I want to keep more of my own money.
- We need term limits on Congress.
- I want to see state and local government who care more about my community become stronger.
- We must restore the US Constitution.
- We need an amendment allowing state legislatures the authority to stop any provision of Federal law.

Dear Representative Brown,
Please accept my sincere appreciation for your commitment to the state of Ohio. Please know I respect elected officials like you who are willing to face the challenge of balancing family life with time spent in Columbus representing our district.
In addition, I applaud you on your success with the ______bill this past year. I was in support of this legislation as it was an important issue to me.
I write to you today to promote the Convention of States (COS) movement in Ohio and ask for your support in the passage of our resolution HJR-3 this General Assembly. For nine long years, we have been urging the Ohio legislature to invoke Art V of the U.S. Constitution, joining the 19 states who have passed a COS resolution thus far.
It is clear to me that Washington is broken. It is in the hands of career politicians and bureaucrats who are not invested in our local communities. Holding a limited state convention for proposing amendments is the best way I’ve found to respond to our overbearing Federal government and bring power back into the states. Please vote HJR-3 out of committee to allow a full vote on the floor of the House.
Thank you so much for your consideration on this immensely important opportunity.
Sincerely,
First name Last name,
House District 5
