PURCELLVILLE, Va., Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today the Convention of States Project announces the hiring of former Georgia state representative, Delvis Dutton, who will be a regional director for legislative affairs. Delvis served as State Representative for the 157th House district in Georgia for four years and ran for Congress in Georgia's 12th District in 2014. He is a constitutional conservative and has been studying the Article V meaning for more than three years. Additionally, Dutton attended the first, 'Assemblies of the State Legislatures' meeting at Mt.

"We are eager to have Delvis Dutton join the Convention of States Project national team," said Mark Meckler, co-founder of the Convention of States Project and President of Citizens for Self-Governance. "Having a former state legislator as part of the national team will be instrumental in boosting our communication and education efforts among state legislators. Delvis brings a wealth of knowledge and experience from the state legislator experience that will reinforce our national expertise, bridge our legislative communications and education efforts, and provide first-hand experience to our national leadership team."

"Understanding our history and founding is paramount to solving all of America's challenges," stated Dutton. "Our founding has been omitted from the history books and we're not thinking about problem solving based on understanding the founding principles of this nation. I am pleased to join The Convention of States Project at this critical time in America's history. We, The People, through the states have the Constitutional duty to protect limited government, fiscal responsibility, and halt the abuses from the federal government."
