Merry Christmas from the Mecklers

During the Christmas season our family is especially aware of the blessings bestowed upon us by God. This includes the blessing of liberty, fought for by our Founders and the Framers of the Constitution.

For us, it also includes the blessing of being able to serve side by side with each member of our COS family.

Thank you for all you do as a patriot warrior in the fight to preserve liberty in America. May you and yours experience a blessed Christmas or Hanukkah.

Mark and Patty Meckler

The Pocket Guide is the definitive primer on the Convention of States Project.

In it, you’ll find clear, straightforward explanations of the biggest problems in the federal government, how Article V is the best solution, and our strategy to make it all happen. We’ve even included a list of our biggest endorsers, answers to FAQs, and a few sample amendments. It’s a must-have for any Convention of States supporter, and we know you’ll love it.

** COS Spotlight: Challenge Coin awarded to Wayne Stanley
------------------------------------------------------------

The following was written by COS North Carolina State Director Joy Ruhman.

Wayne Stanley is undoubtedly the most dedicated COS Volunteer in North Carolina. Wayne found COS and signed the petition on Nov. 13, 2019, and immediately stepped up to be the District Captain in HD 71.

Since getting involved as a District Captain, Wayne volunteered to expand his role to that of Follow Up Team Leader, processing folks in the FUT for Districts without a DC and for some active DCs across the states.

Wayne has processed more than 9,264 new petition signers in the FUT since November 2019! And when Wayne follows up, he really follows up. He sends at least one email, making at least one phone call, and following both up via text if there is both a phone number and an e-mail address. He followed up with my daughter after she signed the petition, and she recently shared with another volunteer that the voicemail he left her "was so sweet!"

When our 2020 campaign efforts began, Wayne stepped up to be a Telepatriot Volunteer and between 10/06/20 and the writing of this nomination, Wayne made 2,803 phone calls, connecting with 739 voters via voice mail and speaking to 281 over the phone.

There is no one in North Carolina more deserving of a COS Challenge Coin than Wayne Stanley.

Wayne was awarded with his Challenge Coin at a recent volunteer training meeting. Click here to read more. ([link removed])
