John,

Did you see this email my team sent out this morning? I’m forwarding it to you below, in case it slipped through your inbox. 

We don’t offer these types of matching challenges often, so I wanted to make sure you saw it. 

I know you’re busy, so here’s the bottom line. 

A generous patriot has offered to match any first-time monthly gifts, up to $10,000 — every single month, for the first 12 months of giving. (That’s huge!) 

Right now, we’re still over $3,000/mo away from reaching that goal. 

If you haven’t started a monthly gift yet, would you consider helping sustain our efforts over the long term by making that commitment today? 

As a small token of our gratitude, we’re sending one of my favorite COS pocket knives to folks who chip in $50 or more per month. (You’ll also gain membership to the Patriot’s Club and get exclusive access to special webinars for Club Members only!) 

Here’s the link to start your donation: https://secure.anedot.com/convention-of-states-action-cosaction/patriotsclub6

John, appreciate you!

Mark,

We’re just hours away from our deadline and are falling behind at reaching our goal.

A generous donor has offered to match every new monthly donation made before midnight tonight, up to $10,000 per month.

That means if you start a monthly gift today, it will be matched — every single month, for TWELVE months. 

This is a huge opportunity for this movement to dramatically increase our monthly funding — funds that enable us to strategically plan for the future while being fiscally responsible. 

But right now, we’re still thousands of dollars short of reaching that $10,000/mo benchmark. 

Will you give whatever you can to help us reach this important goal by giving before midnight tonight?

If you commit to give $50 or more per month, you’ll also receive one of our staff’s favorite pocket knives — the Medic. It has a steel, spring-assisted blade, glass breaker and a seat-belt cutter. But even more special, it comes laser engraved with the Convention of States logo by a volunteer in Missouri!

To help you better understand just how impactful your support is, here are some helpful numbers. 

If you give $50 per month, we’ll receive $100 with the match. That adds up to $1,200 over the course of a year. With that amount of money, we could secure over 2,400 signed petitions.

Mark, you may not know this but we deliver every single petition directly to the signer’s state legislator. This makes them an important measuring stick for legislators to determine the level of support for COS within their district. 

We also contact new petition signers and welcome them into the movement, inviting them to volunteer, block walk, and attend hearings before critical votes on COS legislation. 

That makes the ripple down effect of each petition tremendous. Will you help us take advantage of this opportunity to grow the movement by becoming a monthly supporter today?

As our deadline quickly approaches, every dollar counts. 

Standing, 

The COS Team
