Grassroots and Political Parties: A Symbiotic Relationship

Informações:

Synopsis

The Convention of States mission statement is “To urge and empower state legislators to call a Convention of States to propose amendments to the Constitution to curb the abuses of the federal government.” The only participants with actual authority to accomplish this task are the state legislators. Almost every state legislator is a member of a political party. How does this inform us in terms of fulfilling our mission? We will discuss the opportunity we have to use the COS grassroots enthusiasm to participate in, and influence, the political parties. We'll spend a little bit of time with Convention of States news first.  And save some time for phone calls. We'll also close the show with Madison Rising's "Soldier's Christmas". "That Provident Article" is hosted by Convention of States Texas volunteer Paul Hodson, with the Convention of States since late 2013, a District Captain in Texas from February 2014 through November 2015, and now serving as Co-Director for the Convention of States Texas.
