Civics Central
Here are some recommended offsite resources for being involved and aware of our Christian Heritage in the United States:
WallBuilders is an organization dedicated to presenting America’s forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on the moral, religious, and constitutional foundation on which America was built – a foundation which, in recent years, has been seriously attacked and undermined. In accord with what was so accurately stated by George Washington, we believe that “the propitious [favorable] smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation which disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained.”
Convention of States Action is a grassroots movement to call a convention of states under Article V of the Constitution in order to propose amendments to the Constitution that limit the power and scope of the federal government.
Per Article V of the Constitution, two-thirds of the state legislatures must pass resolutions calling for a convention of states. These resolutions are counted by Congress to determine if there are enough to call for a convention. These resolutions must be worded identically to prevent any legal challenges when they are counted.
Convention of States Action is taking a deliberate and coordinated approach to organize efforts to pass identical resolutions in state legislatures. As of today, our resolution has been passed in 19 state legislatures. We are almost halfway to the necessary 34 states!
Each state must pass their own resolution and so each state has its own grassroots volunteer team. In Maryland, we are powered 100% by volunteers. We are regular folks with regular jobs and we live in the same neighborhoods as you. Check out the Our Team page to get connected with us!
Convention of States Action is a Section 501(c)(4) non-profit organization. We are a non-partisan movement!
Maryland Right to Life makes it easy for citizens to become actively involved in the state legislative session each year from January through April which may include contacting elected officials or providing written or oral testimony before the Maryland General Assembly.
