Article below was written by Al Brandano citizen of NH. Please see his contact information below if you have any questions or would like to get involved with this effort.

James Madison wrote in the Federalist #48, that he worried about what he called; “the weakness of parchment barriers” to protect the liberties and property of people, when the government increasingly draws all power into its vortex. Paper he felt cannot offer protections to anyone – that is why checks and balances must be required.

Madison was right, and it is on full display here in NH -in our towns, legislature, and courts. Civics and knowledge of the NH Constitution is not taught in schools nor popular or publicly aware by most NH citizens. This directly allows politicians free range to enact legislation that in many cases violates their oath of office; to bear faith and true allegiance to the NH Constitution. There is no real good faith legislative test before passage.

The New Hampshire Constitution provides that we the citizens have a right to require of our lawgivers and magistrates, an exact and constant observance of them, in the formation and execution of the laws necessary for the good administration of government. (Under; Part I, Article 38. Article 7., and Article 8.) 

We the people of NH are the checks and balances I believe Madison was referring to. However once legislation is passed it takes a citizen(s) to challenge it in the court system vs the administrative state. The administrative state in turn uses your tax dollars to fight you. NH Attorney General represents the state!

Solutions begin with YOU. Jefferson warned us that without being sufficiently educated to provide oversight in that we would not function as a republic nor be able to self govern. We are the “checks and balances.” Our elected officials need to be held personally and professionally responsible, for not upholding their sworn oath of office. (Not as it currently appears: to political parties/actors, political organizations, or corporations.)

“You see if you do not know your rights, you simply do not have any!” (Daniel Richard/ Com. of Safety 2020)

2nd Failure to honor their oaths requires; “We the people of NH” to get organized and involved in crafting legislation that would create an office of Citizen Attorney General, or enact a Citizen Grand Jury. To directly represent citizens and challenge the administrative state, supported by community funds to offset the financial burden of self- representation or attorneys in these costly constitutional – and court challenges that must be fought!

Next time you pass those little American flags that grace a military tombstone, remember they too sworn an oath and paid the ultimate sacrifice to secure it. Lets again honor their sacrifice, and duty of OATH’s. Get off the couch, put down the remote, and foolish App’s and step up to rebuild the spirit of “parchment barriers,” and our check & balances of self government.

Apathy is no longer an option – time is short!
