====== How was your meeting? ======


Join us!

|**November 10th's monthly meeting** was inspiring! A special "thank you" to all those that helped and all of those that attended! Without you, we would not have a meeting! \\ \\ So many veterans and fellow patriots attended. People understand that freedoms have been lost under our watch!\\ \\  \\ \\ **However, hope is still alive and kicking!  **\\ \\  \\ \\ Many petition signers decided to increase their activity level with our grassroots movement. Some decided to volunteer more of their time for whatever their schedule allows, with responding to our "calls to action."\\ \\  \\ \\ We have [[https://conventionofstates.com/take_action|volunteer positions]] for anyone who is able to give more and fill in the gaps.  You can [[https://conventionofstates.com/take_action|learn about that here]].\\ \\  \\ \\ Attendees understood that EVERY action furthers the cause! \\ \\ {{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/60625/60625_original.png?400x335}}\\ \\  \\ \\ This month our mission is to congratulate the newly elected Legislators.  Whether we voted for them or not, they worked hard campaigning and deserve the recognition.  **Building relationships with Legislators is key for a fruitful legislative session.**  Remembering that Legislators are people first, helps to create the correct mind-set when approaching and talking with our elected officials.\\ \\ Three newly elected legislators attended and one incumbent!  I was blown away that they all were able to make time in their schedules to attend!\\ \\ {{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/60626/60626_original.png?400x335}}\\ \\ We shared our reasons for supporting  a convention of states, while interjecting pending questions about the process. **This meeting, as with all of our meetings, is a safe place to ask questions and learn more.**\\ \\ It was wonderful naming the elephant in the room, "Could convention of states open the pandora box?"  The answer is NO, it will not. To learn more about why it will not, [[https://conventionofstates.com/news/could-a-convention-of-states-run-away|click here]].\\ \\  \\ \\ George Washington said it best when explaining the opposition:\\ \\ > The **opponents** I expected, (for it ever has been that the adversaries to a measure are more active than its Friends) would endeavor to stamp it with unfavourable impressions, in order to bias the Judgment that is ultimately to decide on it, this is evidently the case with the writers in opposition, whose objections are better calculated to **alarm the fears**, than to convince the Judgment, of their readers. They build their objections **upon principles that do not exist,** which the Constitution does not support them in, and the existence of which has been, by an appeal to the Constitution itself flatly denied; **and then**, as if they were unanswerable, **draw all the dreadful consequences that are necessary to alarm** the apprehensions of the ignorant or unthinking.\\ \\ - George Washington to Bushrod Washington, November 1787\\ \\ http:%%//%%teachingamericanhistory.org/library/document/letter-to-bushrod-washington-2/\\ \\ >  \\ \\ {{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/60629/60629_original.png?300x252}}\\ \\ There are many myths that we hear in NH.  To become a myth busting sleuth, [[https://conventionofstates.com/myth-busting|click here]].\\ \\  \\ \\ {{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/60708/60708_original.jpg?600x370}}\\ \\ **November 1st meeting** in Methuen was also a blast!\\ \\ We had some guests who had previously come to the Rochester's meeting, need to attend this one, as their schedule dictates.  The first Tuesday of the month at noon works great for them!\\ \\ Our attendees are understanding the need to get more involved.  It is up to each of us to take action to restore the freedoms we have lost.  \\ \\ Some attendees joined us on our TelePatriot mission.  We were able to call registered voters in NH and remind them to go and vote.  We also shared some information on the 2 ballot questions.\\ \\ Some attendees also have decided to make time for some free training to become a District Captain.  [[https://conventionofstates.com/district_captain_application|Learn more about becoming a District Captain here.]]\\ \\  \\ \\ **It does not matter which monthly meeting you attend, please, continue your education so that you are equipped to take action and help restore our nation. **\\ \\  \\ \\ Together, we can help pass NH's Resolution and become one of the 34 states needed to call the actually amending proposal convention!\\ \\ We all understand that we have seen our freedoms blatantly stripped these past 2 years.\\ \\  **We can change this** by using the only peaceful solution as big as the problem, by calling a Convention of the States!\\ \\ |
