I have a major update about our work to STOP Article V constitutional chaos, John!

Thanks to your advocacy and generous support, we’ve successfully defeated Article V Convention advocates in Montana – one of their top targets for 2023.

Earlier this week, we sounded the alarm bells as Montana’s state legislature moved forward a resolution that would sign their state on for this far right power grab – which would put every freedom you and I hold dear, from free speech to basic civil rights up for grabs.

The odds were stacked against us – as an initial vote came back 26-24 in support of a convention – which would move us even closer to triggering a potentially disastrous convention.

But thanks to the outpouring of support from Common Cause members like you, we were able to mobilize our Montana membership to flood the state legislature with emails and calls. And during the final vote, we flipped the one vote we needed and stopped the bill!

This simply couldn’t have happened without your support – with your help, we’ve built a grassroots team of activists that can respond immediately to threats like this nationwide, with resources strong enough to counter the big money groups we’re up against.

We know this fight isn’t over – because the well-funded far right interests behind the Article V effort have other states, including Montana, in their crosshairs for the remainder of the year. But this big win shows that our strategy works – and that we’re ready to spring into action wherever necessary to STOP this dangerous attack on our rights until this threat is defeated for good.

This is a huge win for our rights, our democracy, and our constitution. John, this victory wouldn’t have been possible without your support – thank you!

This fight has never been more important. I’m glad to have you with us,

Viki Harrison, Director of Constitutional Convention & Protect Dissent Program
and the team at Common Cause
