Convention of States has a deep reverence for our Constitution and its original intent, as expressly stated in our organization’s Core Values. Our dedication to this nation’s First and Second Amendment rights is seen plainly in those who endorse our movement. Those like Charles J. Cooper, a long-time constitutional litigator for the NRA, who sees an out-of-control federal government encroaching on our God-given rights and realizes that “The Framers took care in Article V… to put a stop to it.” COS grassroots activists are working nationwide to return America to the self-governing principles it was founded on.
