Sen. _________,

Please Vote NO on SCR112 the Convention of States. An Article V Constitutional Convention cannot be limited and the COS resolution is not limited. COS opens every Section of the Constitution when it seeks to ā€œlimit the power and jurisdiction of the Federal Government.ā€ Ā Please donā€™t be intimidated by Convention of States and the money they have spent in Idaho to support or defeat candidates. Please represent the citizens of Idaho, not the big moneyed interests financing Convention of States.

Respectfully submitted,

YOUR NAME
