Full Day's COS Texas Agenda at the Capitol

Have you heard the GREAT NEWS?!!  Convention of States Texas will have a Hearing at the Capitol, in Austin, on Tuesday, September 13th, at 11:00 a.m.

And, EVERYONE'S INVITED!!  Join with your fellow Texas COS Patriots promoting Liberty, Federalism, and the Constitution at your Capitol.

In regards to the Committee Hearing, the Texas House Select Committee on State & Federal Power & Responsibility will hold a hearing, on September 13th, at the Capitol, where they will entertain Article V (Convention of States) testimony from invited witnesses: 

House of Representative Notice of Public Hearing 

And, since we'll be at the Capitol anyway, we're going to engage with our legislators and/or their staff in Austin! 

Here is a very flexible, and optional, agenda for our Day at the Capitol on September 13, 2016: 

8:00 - Meet for breakfast at the Capitol Grille (they have good, inexpensive, breakfast)

8:45 - Meet in the Rotunda, pair up (find an experienced buddy), if necessary, get materials

9:00 - Begin canvassing the Capitol; or, attend scheduled meeting(s) in legislator’s offices

10:30 - Convene in the Committee Hearing room

11:00 - Committee Hearing - Room E2.010

1:45 - Meet in the Rotunda, pair up (find an experienced buddy), if necessary, get materials

2:00 - More canvassing the Capitol; or, attend scheduled meeting(s) in legislator’s offices 

We're hoping you can make arrangements to join with fellow leaders, volunteers, and supporters, at the Capitol for any part of the day. Members of the Texas State Leadership team plan on being available throughout the day as well.  Our goal is to help you get acquainted with our Capitol before January. 

If you plan on joining us in meetings with legislators, please contact Douglas Richter (douglasrichter@reagan.com) as soon as possible to coordinate meeting times.  

For your encouragement, take a look at this latest appearance by Senator Tom Coburn on MSNBC Thursday night: Tom Coburn: "The American People Have HAD it!" 

We are all looking forward to another great day at our Capitol; let us know if you have any questions.
