COS Michigan is made up of Michiganders unwilling to sit idly by while the federal government spends the country into the ground and seizes control of even more areas of our lives. The Constitution provides us with a solution, and We the Volunteer Team of COS Michigan choose to stand up, step out, and make a difference.

Washington, D.C. is broken and will not fix itself. Will you rise to the challenge with us?
What is a Convention of States?
A Convention of States is a convention called by the state legislatures for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution. This power is granted to them under Article V of the Constitution. It is not a constitutional convention and cannot throw out the Constitution. A Convention of States can only propose amendments that fit within the topic of the applications adopted by the state legislatures.
Why Call a Convention of States?
Washington, D.C. will never voluntarily relinquish power, no matter who is elected. It is time for American citizens to take a stand against tyranny and make a legitimate coordinated nationwide effort to curb the power of the federal government. Only a Convention of States has the constitutional power to repair the damage and halt the federal government from further eroding the liberties of the sovereign citizens.
Please watch the below video to learn more about our movement.
Article V of the Constitution of the United States
“The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.”
19 States have officially called for an Article V Convention to propose amendments that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, term limits on federal officials, and reduce the size and scope of the federal government. 34 states are required. Will Michigan be next?
