The push is on to defeat the call for an Article V Convention in NH.
Out-of-state lobbyists from Cenk Uygur’s WolfPAC and the Convention of State Project are working together in NH to get the progressive call for an Article V Convention passed here.
HCR 2 (Democrat-sponsored bill) passed by a slim margin in the House and will cross over to the Senate at the end of March. The Senate has a bill, SB 136 that is being promoted by Senator Lou D’Allesandro. It calls for decimating your first amendment rights to bundle money for campaigns.
Both SB 136 and HCR 2 must NOT pass in the Senate. HCR 1 must pass in both the House and Senate.
