Georgia is Demanding a “Convention of the States” to Fight Obama’s Agenda

Quote
(snip)

While conservatives in Congress are trying their hardest to move forward with the impeachment process, Obama’s noose continues to tighten on states’ rights. And while Obamacare is just the tip of the iceberg – the president’s “executive orders” are making a mockery of the constitution – people are beginning to realize just how symbolic Obama’s key legislation is of his entire agenda. It’s even been called a “form of slavery.”

    The Georgia House has passed the Convention of States application (HR1215) yesterday [Feb 23rd] by a vote of 100-65!

    “We Georgians boldly took another few steps out of tyranny yesterday,” said COS Georgia State Director, Jacquie Peterson.

    “Those of us who were able to attend this historic vote were honored to be there representing hundreds of thousands of other liberty-loving men and women from across our Nation.  It is our greatest hope that many of our sister States will join with us to lead the way.”

    Georgia is looking to become the first state to pass the COS application, and the process is all but complete.  The Georgia Senate passed a slightly different version of the COS resolution several weeks ago, so the leadership from the House and Senate must come together to decide which version they want to use.

    Once this decision is made, the House or the Senate (whichever house did not pass the agreed-upon resolution) will vote once more.  After this vote occurs, Georgia will have officially passed the Convention of States application.

I wonder how far this will go.  How many states have conservative legislatures?

I don't know how far it will go, but I do know the answer to your second question- lots.
