In the past we’ve warned about outside groups invading NH for all sorts of nefarious purposes. These groups exist on the right as well as the left!

After much study and consultation with our constitutional cohorts and contributors; the JBS, the Tenth Amendment Center, and the National Heritage Center for Constitution Studies, as well as other notable experts across the nation, we have been advised against the Article V Convention or “Con-Con” as it is known.

Once again, the “Tea Party Patriots”, which is ostensibly a GOP PAC created by elites from DC and not really a tea party, not only want to pick your presidential candidates for you on behalf of the establishment, but are also in league with progressive groups promoting an Article V Convention which would open up our founding document to almost anything.

Our position is to make the government abide by the Constitution as written now. Changing it is not going to accomplish anything.

Wiser men in our NH legislature have put something in place to put a stop to this process which could destroy what we have left of the Constitution!

Please email your legislators which you can find by looking them up here and ask them to SUPPORT HCR1 and OPPOSE HCR2:

A RESOLUTION applying to Congress to hold a convention for amendments.

Thank You!

NHTPC and its working groups continues its mission to save New Hampshire. We will never ask you for a dime and we never take money from nor give money to political parties or candidates or groups based in DC.

UPDATE: Please let your State Rep know this is only ONE of the outside groups pushing for the Con Con. There are many Soros and fake tea party groups pushing it as well.

Heading up the effort are these two Reps so be sure to include them:
