Hi, Folks! My name is Jim Kinney. I have recently begun working as the Executive Director for the Convention of States Project, and I have some great news. The COS Project is about to begin a brand new series of free, interactive “Tele-Townhalls” entitled Article V: The Real Deal. The Real Deal will walk you through the Convention of States process in plain, simple English and answer some of the most common questions about Article V before, during, and after the convention. To sign up, click here. Part I – Before the Convention: Mythbusting Michael Farris, head of the COS Project, will kick things off on February 3 at 8pm EST by doing some myth busting. A number of objections have been raised against a Convention of States, and Michael would like to respond to a few of them. Part II – During the Convention: We Know the Rules On February 13 at 8pm EST Prof. Rob Natelson, leading expert on Article V, will explain how a Convention of States would operate based on previous interstate conventions as well as legal precedent. Rob will be answering questions on amendment ratification as well. Part III – After the Convention: A Vision for the Future Finally, on February 20 at 8pm EST, Mark Meckler, President and Founder of Citizen’s for Self-Governance, will paint a picture of America after we hold a Convention of States. At the end of each presentation, you will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker through our interactive webinar service.
