Pivotal in remaining a strong and credible party, you need to have the trust of your constituents. Without that trust within the bounds of the law, both the individual and the collective will be stifled, resulting in an enterprise unworthy of the name.

There Is Courageous And Their Is Foolish
This article is challenging to title as it is both sensitive and maddening. All of us have watched grandparents, parents, and even ourselves age to the point where simple tasks are no longer automatic. We have seen muscle memory fail, and even memories fade.
The End Justifies the Means vs Means Are as Important as Ends
As a 54-year member of the John Birch Society JBS, I do not intend to go down the unlimited “rabbit trails” that US Term Limits Lobbyist Ken Quinn presented in his attempt to persuade the readers with “what he calls truth” in his 3/16 article about how great a solution Article V Con-Con’s would be to to fix the Constitution.
So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (03/16/23)?
We learned that it was a good day for gun rights and cannabis legalization but not a good day for liberal green energy policies. We learned that HB76, imposing a 3-day waiting period between purchase and delivery of a firearm, died after the Ought To Pass recommendation failed 168-193. There were “exceptions” “graciously bestowed” in … Read more
HCR 4: A “Bait and Switch? and Out-Of-State Lobbyists
On Thursday, March 16, the New Hampshire House of Representatives should be debating and voting on HCR 4-a resolution applying for an Article V Convention for a term limit amendment.
Another Reason for Term Limits
The current crop of aging members of the Legislature and the President has generated renewed interest in term limits for all Federal offices. Many members of the House and Senate are over 80 years of age.
We Win. They Lose
We win. They lose—a brilliant simple statement by one of the great communicators of our time. Ronald Reagan crafted that statement as he did many others during his two terms as President of the United States.
GrokTV: Windham GOP – Candidate for US Senate, General Don Bolduc (ret.) Q&A Part 1
I think you will see that Gen. Bolduc is willing to take on all questions. Note that for everyone that was called upon to ask their question (and it seemed to be totally at random), he went over to them and either stood very close by or sat down at their table to listen and … Read more
Term Limits…why not, Bob?
There cannot be a better "poster-child" for term-limits, than Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, who has apparently become Paul Hodes’ new financial mentor.
Now, a particular NH CD-2 Congressional candidate is dead-set against term limits, insisting that we "already have them", "they are already in the Constitution", and that “the people must become engaged", in order to properly enforce them.
While it is true that the Constitution does outline terms of office for members of Congress, the founders, in their optimism for those who would serve the public, never imagined the patronage, graft, corruption, theft, and influence that we see today in Congress.
Conceding that “we already have term limits”, and relying on the people becoming fully engaged, exercising their civic duty to take care of this issue, could be a good approach, if we had ANY evidence that it would occur, and would remain consistent. This is doubtful, when the average re-election rate since 1964 is 93% in the House and 81% in the Senate. Apparently, "the people" have come to expect certain things from their incumbent politicians.
Making it worse, the 17th amendment allows “the people” to choose their Senators, instead of their State Legislatures, as originally designed by the Founders. This simply forces us to rely even more on “the people” to do the right thing, all the time. It also removes a critical check and balance on Senatorial behavior.
