Last year I sent my state rep and senator copies of other state's bills on issues that matter. I also send to legislative committee heads. I know that they have staff that keep track of what other states are doing but I send anyway so they know that the peons they serve aren't clueless. I will do the same this year.

I know about the Idaho Freedom Caucus through JBS. We need one here too. Did they not stop the ID COS last year?

Our legislators don’t have staff, but sending information to their official emails does go into the record.

Don’t know about COS and Idaho Freedom Caucus, but I’m not a fan of it. Our Idaho GOP Chairwoman wrote a good op-ed about it: https://idgop.org/2024/01/04/turning-to-a-convention-of-states-in-times-of-national-crisis-is-not-the-answer/

Here is some information about the State Freedom Caucus Network in case you want to get involved and start one for your state: https://statefreedomcaucus.org/

Thanks for the links. I'm sort of busy with JBS but I do hope that some of my state leg members implement a caucus like that.

Another great way to see what is happening in your state and others as well is to sign up for a free emailed newsletter. I don't have an unbiased newspaper here so I get Missouri news via The Center Square which is published by the Franklin News Foundation. https://www.thecentersquare.com/site/about/newsletters.html

Perhaps ask your most freedom loving legislators to look into starting a freedom caucus and enlist friends to make the same request. Sometimes the requests of many will register when a single request does not.
