Grumpy Opinions by Publius Huldah
New Hampshire House members have already introduced three Article V convention applications for 2018:
HCR 10 (COS)
HCR 12 (Term limits)
HJR 4 (Any law applied to US citizens also applies to members of Congress)
All three resolutions have a hearing scheduled before the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee on consecutive Wednesdays in January: HCR 12 on Jan. 17; HJR 4 on Jan. 24; and HCR 10 on Jan. 31.
In this excellent JBS video (at 4:24), Robert Brown shows in 5 minutes the absurdity of a term limits amendment when he explains why it should be called the “Lame Duck Amendment.”
This article (TML) and this article (HJR4) by PH explain why term limits and HJR 4 are terrible ideas–they not only won’t solve the problem, they’ll create new ones.
Here are talking points against Term Limits, Convention of States, and general talking points against an Article V convention.
Attached and HERE is a flyer explaining why NH legislators should oppose any Article V convention resolutions.
Please contact all 20 members of the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee and ask them to vote NO on HCR 12, HJR 4, and HCR 10.
