Dear John,
Last week’s historic Simulated Article V Convention hosted by Convention of States Foundation (COSF) was a resounding success.
The event brought together legislators and grassroots patriots to participate in the Constitutional process our Founders laid out in full view of the American people, and we wanted to share the highlights in case you missed it.
On Wednesday, August 2, more than 100 individuals -- many of them sitting state legislators -- volunteered to be Commissioners at the Simulation and gathered from across the country in Williamsburg, Virginia.
The next day, Commissioners broke off into 3 committees to debate and deliberate on amendment proposals. Eventually, committees decided on 6 proposed amendments to bring to a vote.
On the final day of the Simulated Convention, the state delegations gathered to vote on the following 6 separate amendment proposals:
1) Term limits for Congress
2) Cap U.S. Supreme Court judges at nine & a quorum at six
3) Balanced Budget Amendment
4) Set boundaries to the Commerce Clause
5) Enable states to overrule federal laws and regulations
6) Stop the federal government from seizing states' land and resources

If you were able to attend the livestream and watch the Convention take place live, we’re so glad you could make it!
However, if you couldn’t make it, you can still view the full livestream of the final day of the Convention by clicking here.
John, we can’t thank you enough for helping make COSF’s Simulated Convention possible.
The momentum generated during the Convention will continue to drive home the message that self-governance can be reclaimed.
None of this would be possible without the support of grassroots patriots like you.
Sincerely,
The COS Team
