“CACR 28 is a radical constitutional overreach that privileges Christianity in public governance, blurs church–state separation, and rewrites the New Hampshire Constitution to solve a problem that does not exist—while real, urgent harms faced by Granite Staters of all faiths and none go unaddressed.”
“I oppose this bill, because given how dangerously divided the country is at this time, a constitutional convention would be fraught with tension and stress, and possibly even result in a worse situation in the country.”
“Opposing HCR 16 — Application for an Article V Convention of States Chairman, Members of the Committee, I oppose HCR 16 not because I support congressional corruption or career politicians, but because this resolution applies the most dangerous constitutional tool available to solve a problem that states already have lawful means to address.…”
