We've had some amazing success lately, but not a peep here! Let's get excited!!

Another week another chance of moving forward with the Article V Convention movement. I've narrowed down states that have existing resolutions with the potential for actions to take place and not listing every single action that each state could take this week. Think of it as the Reddit version of the Meckler email we all received this past week. Also, the list will be alphabetical.

• KS-HCR 5009 still resides in the general orders (currently 11th on the list) it could be up for a floor vote either this or next week
• SC-H3125 was sent to the whole Judiciary following last week's hearing, no word on if there will be another hearing or full committee discussion
• WI-AJR77 has been received by the senate, but Wisconsin is adjourned until late March, so no action will take place for awhile
• WV-No more committee actions are taking place for the rest of the year, any resolutions passed out of committee will stand for readings and there is no news as to whether a Art.V resolution is among them

Many other states have resolutions in rotation/existence but depending on the state, the resolution could be considered dead. I'd recommend using OpenStates.org to follow or look up such resolutions. It seems though that many legislatures have stalled for the time being as they wrap up 2020 sessions.

Here's what to watch for this week in terms of Convention of States resolutions!

SC- 3rd Committee hearing on COS resolution 3125 (potential for recommendation vote)

KS- Keep an eye on the House Floor as HCR 5009 could have a vote by legislative year-end

WV- HCR 48 still resides in the H. Judiciary Committee, will continue to watch

IA- SJR15 is still with State Govt. Senate committee, which meets every Tuesday/Thursday (as of now, no hearings have been scheduled but keep an eye/ear out)

NE- Currently no hearings scheduled for LR7 in Govt., Military, & Vet Affairs. Meetings are held every Weds, Thurs, & Friday

NM- SJR4 was tabled this past week in Senate Rules Committee (Feb 12). Rules meet on Weds, Fri, & Sat

WI- AJR77 was referred to Committee on Rules on the 13th, favorable recommendation by Federalism Committee and up for Assembly Floor vote today! (as of website calendar)

MN- HF855 currently resides in Govt. Ops Committee, no scheduled hearings as of now

OH- SJR2 not currently scheduled in Govt. & Agency Review this week, will update if it changes

MI- SJR L still residing in Committee on Govt. Operations, currently no scheduled meetings. Committee meets Tuesdays @ 12:30

NY- J2697 referred to Finance Committee, unaware of any scheduled meetings

NJ- ACR98 resides in State/Local Gov Committee: no current meetings scheduled

SCR4 resides in State Govt Committee: no current meetings scheduled

PA- HR206, out of committee and could have floor vote before the end of the legislative year (House will reconvene in March)

MA- See study order H4404 in Rules Committee, no meetings currently scheduled

WA- SJM8007 & HJM4002 in respective State Govt/Tribal Relations Committee, meets every Weds/Fri

VA- HJ45 left in Rules Committee, no future meetings scheduled

Feel free to update this post throughout the week from your own observations for resolution introductions for your state or if meetings get announced for any of the resolutions I listed above. Let's be the change we want to see!

Awesome job by COS' Mark Mekler in SC for H3125, especially since he was in SD recently for their hearing on the now failed to pass HJR500. Hoping that this hearing will push SC to break the 16th state mark!

It was sad to see the South Dakota House vote no on passing Resolution 5001 a few hours ago, but it just goes to show the confusion of some of those on the political right for some of what this movement is really about and on the bipartisanship that is present in some the states as Democrat representatives were among those that wished to push this measure through. Look to Kansas or South Carolina to be #16 and lets hope SD works to expand the understanding in their own state.

I never officially knew that this was a thing, although I figured it would be. It wasnt until I watched a Ben Shapiro clip that I learned the specifics of the Convention of States.

Anyway, this article of our constitution is exactly what we need. [Opinion] Especially in regards to enacting term limits to Congress, removing bad eggs, or obviously anything that our government refuses to enact, but most agree on.

I've been trying to think of ways to get this in the minds of the American population, because of the people I have mentioned this too (mostly everyone I interact with) NOT ONE person has known it's a thing.

Any ideas on how to popularize this concept? Is there already an effort for this?
