According to the Convention of States Action Organization (COS), the bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., will never voluntarily relinquish power.
On October 22 at the Ramada Plaza in Sheridan, Convention of States Action (COS) held a town hall meeting with speakers Mark Meckler, President and co-founder of Convention of States, and Rick Green, President of Patriot Academy. They talked about the crisis our nation is facing due to Washington growing too large, and what we the people can do about it.
The event started with a prayer and the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States.

Julie Baker, state director of convention of states in Wyoming, introduced the speakers, and Mark Meckler took the stage first. Seeing several young people in the audience, he invited them up for a photo, because, he said, “they are why we do what we are doing.”
He said although he was late coming into politics, but now is actively involved with COS.
He talked about Marxism, and that they are doing what they call a ‘long march through the institutions’ in America, and how ‘Woke’ is just another term for cultural Marxism. “This is what the Marxist intended for our culture.”
He encouraged the audience to listen to Isabelle Brown, saying that on one of her podcasts she discussed the communist plan for American which was read into the congressional record in 1963. “Every single thing they said they were going to do, they have now done.”
Meckler said that they wanted to destroy beautiful art and wanted to destroy the family and so children will belong to the state instead of their parents. They wanted us to hate our system of government, create a new system for everyone to worship instead of worshipping a supreme being. He urged the young people to get involved, because this is their world.
Rick Green took the stage;
He said he felt that United States has a revival going right now, people realize that we have to hand this off to our children and grandchildren, we want to make sure we are handing off a good nation.
This was a lead-up for the speakers addressing article five of the constitution. Green said we no longer live under a constitution, we live under a court-stitution, which was the essentially the supreme court making the rules for the county. “It’s a total mess. We the people have allowed them to do it,” Green said.
Meckler added that some people say to vote for good people, which voters do, and to pray, but that isn’t necessarily working. Green broke in with a quote from John Hancock,
Article V of the Constitution offers the single best remedy for the crisis our nation is facing. Meckler added about an important date in the formation of the United States.
And the states have this power. The framers of the constitution understood that the best government was that which was close to the people. It was a unanimous decision.
Green said that we need to propose and ratify at the state level. He added that the framers,
The Convention of States Action is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization dedicated to reestablishing a culture of self-governance in America and limiting federal overreach. The COS boast a grassroots network comprising millions of dedicated supporters and volunteers in every legislative district across the nation.
Several members of the Trump administration support the Convention of States.
Currently, 19 out of the constitutionally mandated 34 states have successfully passed the Convention of States Resolution. Wyoming has not, so far, passed the COS resolution. Senators Barry Crago, Senator Bo Biteman and Representative Marilyn Connolly attended the town hall.
There was a petition at the event for interested people to sign and send to their congressman to urge them to vote for Wyoming to pass the COS resolution. It requires the legislators to pass it in the house and senate, and the citizens must let the legislators know they want this.
