Camp Constitution’s Report for the 1st quarter of 2025
While bad weather forced some cancelations of scheduled events, we were either hosting or attending, we still managed to have some successful events and activities.
Camp Constitution in the News
It’s been almost three years since our “Shurtleff v Boston” lawsuit was decided but it continues to be mentioned in the news around the country. Our case was recently cited in a decision by the University of Massachusetts Amherst when the “Pride” flag was removed from a building, and in February our case was mentioned in a controversy at the Marblehead, MA High School. An article about our friend Sampson Recioppi contained references to Camp Constitution and an interview of me: https://www.bostonbroadside.com/liberal-legislators/from-battlefield-to-bar-fight-patriotic-activism-bias-blocks-army-veteran-from-admission-to-the-new-hampshire-bar/ We continue to write article for The Weirs Times, a weekly newspaper in New Hampshire, The Boston Broadside, a monthly paper and two on-line news and info sources The Granite Grok and The Rochester Voice.
