We need more Emails! Opposing Convention of States to all Republican Senators!

 

The Good News is that the Idaho State Senate has NOT voted on SCR112 Convention of States yet. We must EMAIL ALL OF THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS AGAIN.

 

The article “Convention of States Action Shenanigans” about the big money spent in Idaho by COS is below.

 

INFORMATION: It won’t be ONE State ONE Vote. Article V does not tell us how many delegates there will be or how they will be selected. But, “Between 1973 and 1992, 22 bills were introduced in the U.S. House and 19 in the U.S. Senate that sought to establish a procedural framework that would apply to an Article V Convention…The Senate… passed the ‘Federal Constitutional Convention Procedures Act,’ on two separate occasions; as S 215 in 1971 and as S 1272 in 1983.” Although these bills did not pass Congress, they assert Congress’s intent on setting the formula for delegates and all other procedures for an Article V Convention. Source Congressional Research Service, April 11, 2014.

These bills called for proportional representation of States based on the formula for the Electoral College, which adds the state’s number of Congressmen and 2 Senators, not one vote per state. So, Idaho would have 4 votes and California 54 at a Convention. California passed an Article V Convention application in 2023 which guts the Second Amendment.

 

MESSAGE: Please Vote NO on SCR112 Convention of States. Don’t be intimidated by the Convention of States and the big money they have spent in Idaho. Under the Congressional formula for an Article V Convention Idaho would have 4 votes and California 54! California has already passed an Article V Convention application which guts the Second Amendment. Don’t put Idaho and our constitutionally protected rights in jeopardy.

(Or better yet write your own message.)
