A Convention of States summer consists of not just vacation, but prime preparation time for the upcoming legislative session. National Legislative Director Rita Dunaway presented three common legislative pitfalls in this video; we'll expand and expound on these pitfalls, and discuss some real world examples on how to avoid these pitfalls. The time to prepare for your 2018 session is now!! https://youtu.be/wQVEbkiNvFU The Convention of States Project is a grassroots led effort to encourage state legislatures to use the Constitutionally authorized state-initiated amendment process to propose and ratify amendments to the U.S. Constitution that will restrain our overreaching federal government.

Two weeks ago we surveyed some of the scholarship and books promoting the use of the State-Initiated Amendment process found in Article V, and we noted the dramatic increase in public interest in the last 8 years. But what about endorsements? Who in our past has endorsed this process, and who are the present day endorsers? Who is in opposition, then, and now? And what value do endorsements have?

For two centuries, almost no scholarship existed regarding the state-initiated amendment process described in Article V of the US Constitution. 1988's "Constitutional Brinksmanship", by Russell Caplan, was the first serious work addressing this issue. In 2009, Georgetown Law Professor Randy Barnett promoted the idea of states applying for an Article V Amending Convention to discuss and propose amendments described in his "Bill of Federalism." He has since included this work in his book "Our Republican Constitution." The latest book on Article V will be released nationally this coming Tuesday, May 30th. Written by Convention of States Senior Advisor Dr. Tom Coburn, this book provides insight available only from someone like Dr. Coburn, who became known as "Dr. No" during his tenure in the US Senate! And, of course, we'll discuss two other Article V books - Mark Levin's "The Liberty Amendments", and Governor Greg Abbott's "Broken But Unbowed".

This morning we'll begin with an excerpt from Mark Meckler recorded earlier this week during a Convention of States leadership conference call.

We'll review the progress that's been made in just over three years time, and then preview what lies in store in just a couple of weeks as many state legislatures will begin their sessions, and consider the Convention of States application.

Over the last two weeks, the Convention of States Texas has met it's objectives it set forth immediately after the last legislative session ended on June 1st, 2015; the message since that moment has been that Texas Must Lead! This past Tuesday, December 6, 2016, at an historic Bill Pre-Filing Event, the Convention of States Texas officially transitioned from pursuing it's goal to Declaring It's Position in the Nation - TEXAS WILL LEAD! The pieces are all in place; the preparation has been made. It's time for session to begin, and Texas is Ready! This is great news for the entire nation. We'll share our thoughts, and open up for phone calls. This is going to be a free-form episode - no follow along presentation slides. Feel free to call in with questions/comments!

We'll discuss the prognostications prior to the election (not about who would win, but how the country would be governed depending on who would win), the meaning of the results of the election, and the reaction to the election.

We haven't broadcast for nearly 4 months! We're going to go live on Saturday morning, November 5th, 8:30 a.m. Central Time. Plus, we're going to try a live simulcast on Facebook Live, at https://www.facebook.com/COSProjectTX. Sometime this coming Tuesday evening, or Wednesday morning, we should know who will be the next President of the United States. This has been an election cycle like no other in modern American history. And many citizens, of all political persuasions, are frustrated at the choices presented to them on election day. Regardless of which candidate wins, the structure of our republic is in grave peril. And no one person, no branch of the federal government, is ready to restore the structure we so desparately need. So, what can we do? Is the most important question facing us "Who should I vote for?" Or is it "What Can I Do to Fix Our Country?" Let's discuss what we can, no, what we MUST do, to fix our broken republic! "We the People" have a recourse, hidden in plain sight in the Constitution, in Article V. But voting alone will not trigger "That Provident Article"! This is an audience participation show - Our call in number is (914) 205-5632. "That Provident Article" is hosted by Convention of States Texas co-director Paul Hodson. #COSProject #ArticleV #TexasPlan #ConventionOfStates #COSProjectTX
