Why we oppose an Article V Convention:
- An Article V Convention cannot be limited to a single issue or topic.
- Delegates to an Article V Convention may change any previously agreed upon rules.
- Any laws either at the state level or federal level would be unenforceable once a convention is convened.
- Under Article V, Congress can choose the mode of ratification and New Hampshire legislators may never get a chance to vote on any of the proposed amendments.
- Adding new amendments to the Constitution is no way to rein in a runaway federal government.
- Proposed balanced budget amendments will lead to tax increases and a possible value added tax (VAT)
- Amendments proposed by a convention, if passed, may force changed in the NH Constitution.
Numerous NH Liberty groups have come out to oppose an Article V Convention including the New Hampshire Firearms Coalition, New Hampshire Center for Constitutional Studies, and New Hampshire Tea Party Coalition.
Constitutional scholars such as Thomas E. Woods, Edwin Vieira, and Dinesh DiSouza also oppose an Article V Convention.
"Overturning Citizens United" would mean amending the 1st Amendment. There's simply no other way to do it, since the Supreme Court's decision was based on the 1st Amendment. This is what has many people justifiably worried. The most likely amendment to pass would be an amendment overturning Citizens United, as it has wide support among both the left and right, unlike a balanced budget amendment.

We don't have a "constitution problem" . . . we have an "enforcement problem". Make it illegal to violate the constitution with criminal prosection consequences.
I cannot believe that those in the General Court can think that a Con-Con is other than the ruling elites plan for replacing the constitution. I has been the objective for over fifty years now. Rescind the Article V call.
We must stop any Art V convention--as we could ALL lose our Constitutional rights we now take for granted. There's no way to control one--rules can be changed at the whim of delegates. We cannot even control who is chosen to BE a delegate!
The chance special interests, esp. liberal ones, could undermine the Constitution and further limit our rights and freedom is too risky.
"The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." Thomas Jefferson What the ConCon proponents seek to do is eliminate the "chains" so the criminals will gain license to destroy liberty.
The Koch brothers WANT the con con...Constitutional Convention. Let's not give it to them and the GOP!
I don't want my constitution played with!

Fulfill your oaths State Legislators! Don't change the Constitution by using the iffy COS method. What they say is not in the Constitution nor founding documents.
