As the Convention of States (COS) movement gains momentum, COS co-founder and President Mark Meckler, says he’s “shooting for 2024.”

“For the first time in our nation’s history,” the COS website announced, “17 of the requisite 34 states have called for a Convention of States to rein in federal power, impose fiscal restraints on Congress, and limit the terms of office for federal officials.” When he began his march toward a historic Article V Convention of States nearly a decade ago, few people ever heard the name Mark Meckler. It wasn’t until after social media company Parler anointed Meckler as its interim CEO a year ago that many people heard of a Convention of States. Today, 17 states have officially called for an Article V Convention of States, eight have passed the Convention of States Application through one chamber, and another 16 states are currently considering the Convention of States Resolution for 2022.
