** Wisconsin Assembly Votes to Pass Convention of States Resolution!
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
We have great news from The Badger State!
This week, with a resounding 58-36 vote, the state Assembly approved the Convention of States Resolution!
Prior to the vote, about 50 grassroots volunteers gathered to visit with their legislators and thank them for their support of the Resolution.
Our legislative sponsors and supporters courageously defended the Resolution during the floor debate, including Reps. Vruwink, Vos, Gundrum, Allen, Schraa, and Knodl.
“The Federal Government is broken and can’t be fixed from within," said Speaker Robin Vos. “I do hope… we can get the rest of the country to realize that states are where the primary role of government should be, not the federal government with nameless, faceless bureaucrats and unfortunately unaccountable politicians.”
The Wisconsin Convention of States team has worked long and hard to educate their legislators on the tool the Founders gave us in Article V, and they are going to continue to grow the grassroots army of self-governing citizens.
They are planning a large rally in September on the steps of the Capitol, and they are reaching out to constituents to gain support for a full Senate vote later this year.

** Years of Hard Work Just Paid Off in South Carolina

The South Carolina House also passed the Convention of States Resolution this week! The following on-the-ground report was written by Convention of States South Carolina volunteer Wendy Damron.
We had 24 hours notice, but we were not caught off guard. Hundreds of South Carolinians had been trained and were ready to serve in the fight to save the Republic, which hinged on this critical vote in the SC House. We have had our share of ups and downs to get to this moment, but we never gave up. As our ranks of volunteers have grown larger, our influence and relationships have grown stronger, and the legislature has taken notice.
We got the news on Monday that we would finally be getting our House floor vote on Tuesday. We put out the call to our activists to gather in the capitol early on Tuesday morning, and they came in droves.
Maybe our opposition thought they could dampen our impact if they kept us out of the gallery, but they were wrong. We needed to make our presence felt, and WE HAD A PLAN.
First, we split up our large group into three. One group with signs went to the entrance to both of the legislators' parking garages, so as they drove into the capitol, they were greeted by COS activists. The third group was sent to the lobby of the Statehouse so they would see our smiling faces as soon as they entered the building to head into the chamber.
We weren’t done yet. We knew that when they broke for lunch in another building, they would by walking down a corridor of glass windows. We lined the long corridor with our signs, which was something most of them had never seen before. Check out these photos to catch a glimpse of what the SC legislature saw on their way to lunch:

When the final tally was taken, it was Ayes 66, Nays 42. WE WON! As the crowd hugged each other and cried tears of joy, one of us started singing “God Bless America.” Soon, we all joined in. It was a euphoric moment, one that made all of our years of hard work worth it.
We are keenly aware that our work is not done. The resolution now goes to the Senate. With your help, we will continue to grow the team in SC and all over the country. We will continue to build our influence, and we will call America’s first Article V convention. We must because the future of this “land that we love” depends on it.
