March 17, 2021 Article V Convention Legislative Progress Report Fellow Fivers: Five weeks have passed since my initial 2021 report. Thanks to Stu McPhail and the Article V Caucus for placing it on their website (http://articlevcaucus.com/news/the-article-v-convention-legislative-progress-report/), for forwarding it to our 7000+ state legislators throughout the country and for publishing a link to it on “Hunt for Liberty.” As of this report, some 107 items of Article V legislation have been filed in 38 different states. That compares favorably to the activity we saw pre-COVID/2020. U.S. Term Limits and COS Project are easily the most active groups. U.S. Term Limits has filed in 18 states with all resolutions currently “Active.” They passed the House in NC and WV, the Senate in GA, and are out of committee in the AZ House. COS has filed in 22 states with 17 remaining “Active.” I did not see where COS has made it out of any committees yet. WolfPAC is active in five states and BBA is active only in SC. As pressure mounts in Washington to water down or abolish the Senate filibuster thus giving absolute power to the Democrats, one would hope that the conservative states could see that the Article V state-led amendment process is the last bastion of power left to those states to overcome and bring checks and balances back to our federal government. Attached is the latest AVC Legislative Progress Report. Be sure to let me know if you see any missing items or if you have more updated information. If I can ever be of assistance to any of you, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Fellow Fivers: The four major Article V advocacy groups all started off the new decade last year with great goals and optimism only to be totally shut down by the coronavirus pandemic. So much water has gone under the bridge since then that it is difficult to offer an assessment as to the future of the movement. The 2020 elections fundamentally reshaped our country politically. The division and partisanship has never been more heated. The federal government flipped dramatically to the Democrat side, but the state legislatures, with only a few exceptions, remained largely conservative. More drastic changes are likely coming in 2022 with redistricting in the spotlight.

* * * * NOTICE * * * * In the US, Thursday, September 17 is Constitution Day (also known as Citizenship Day), celebrating the day in 1787 when the US Constitution was formally signed in Philadelphia by 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention, leading to it becoming America’s principle governing document. In honor of that special day, the State Legislators’ Article V Caucus will be hosting a free one-hour online presentation entitled “Restoring the American Voice” beginning at 8 PM (Eastern Time). The informative event will focus on how, in a time when Americans are increasingly frustrated with government, state legislators are meant to be the guardian of that American voice.
