Stopping An Article V Convention
We helped defeat an Article V Convention resolution and a “faithful delegate bill in New Hampshire.” We are part of a nationwide movement to protect the Constitution from an Article V Convention. Thousands have read our articles, blogs and videos on the subject as well as downloading our on-line resources.
Massachusetts recently rescinded all of its applications for an Article V convention. While we were not directly involved in this effort, we think that our years of educating state elected officials on this issue played a role in this success.
Looking into 2026
We have a media event in Lynchburg, VA with author Vince Ellison on January 10. A field trip to the 250th celebration of the Henry Knox Trail on January 17. Several New Hampshire Education Option fairs, at least two homeschool shows. We are gearing up for our Ladies “Spring Fling” in May, our 18th annual family camp and celebrating our nation’s 250th Birthday.
