From Judi Caler:
LAST MINUTE HELP NEEDED IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
USTL House Floor Debate/Vote Wednesday!
HCR 13 (US Term Limits) passed the House committee and will be debated and voted on the House floor Wed., March 11th. The application asks Congress to call a "limited" convention—which, of course, doesn't exist. Lobbyist testimony focused on the "prodding" effect, otherwise known as "threatening," "scaring," or playing chicken with Congress (Talking Point #2)—that and their popularity in the polls (Talking Point #3).
Little New Hampshire has more representatives than any other state—almost 400! New Hampshire legislators are independent thinkers, and the full House often overturns the committee recommendation which, in this case, is "ought to pass." Please send a letter to all representatives, and let them know this isn't about Term Limits—it's about losing our Constitution at a convention! They would probably be interested in knowing that 93% of the $7.4 Million in contributions to US Term Limits in 2023 came from 3 individuals! (Talking Point #3).
Flash! US Term Limits is bringing out the big guns! Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who claims he isn't running for President, has added New Hampshire to his tour, and appears to be taking the opportunity to campaign for any application asking Congress to call a convention.
We need your help!!! New Hampshire hasn't been blasted yet—and word is that the Representatives have received no push back to date from our side on this dangerous issue. Please share this blast with your friends and family! We know there are bunches of state representatives to write. Please start ASAP. The New Hampshire Senate has a high bar (2/3 vote) for introducing any resolution. But proponents were bragging at the hearing that they may have the Senate wired. Let's stop this one in the House!
Let's go get 'em!
The Legislation
Here is the Article V Convention application in the New Hampshire House:
HCR13. (US Term Limits). Passed Committee Feb. 6, 2025 (12-5). On the House Floor Calendar to be debated/voted on Wed., March 11, 2026. The Session begins @ 9:00 am. The application is on page 72, so it could be late in the day before it's taken up.
Your House Letter:
Talking Points and suggestions for short letters are below the addresses.
Please send a letter to the following 397 (!) House members, and urge them to VOTE "NO" on HCR13.
Copy the addresses below as a block into “BCC,” and copy your own address into the “To” box; and place the bill#s and description on the subject line. Something simple like "VOTE NO on HCR13 (Article V convention)" will work.

This 14-minute CLIP from a House floor debate on similar legislation to HCR 13, is a must for every representative to listen to before voting on New Hampshire's application. Rep. Ilana Rubel (D) and Rep. Judy Boyle (R) hit it out of the ballpark in presenting bipartisan opposition to an Article V convention application in Idaho last month. They refute the false arguments that the convention lobby has been inundating legislators with for a decade. [https://x.com/casey_whalen/
U.S. Term Limits lobbyists usually testify, that there will never be a convention, and they don't want a convention. They claim history proves that Congress always proposes its own Amendment when enough states pass applications asking them to call a convention. Thus, the lobbyists assure you that there will never be a runaway convention! “Threatening Congress with Article V Applications” demolishes their argument. State Legislators who vote to apply to Congress for a convention, while trusting that Congress will never call a convention, are playing with fire.
US Term Limits continually tells legislators that a huge percentage of voters support congressional term limits, according to POLLS (84% in New Hampshire) that either don't mention or don't explain the dangers of an Article V convention. A poll that focuses on "term limits," while ignoring the risks of an Art. V convention is irrelevant and not a true measure of public opinion on their application. Ask US Term Limits, if they're so popular among grassroots citizens, why did 93% of the $7.4 Million in revenue last reported (2023) come from 3 individuals?!
US Representatives and US Senators have introduced proposed constitutional amendments for congressional term limits. See H.J.Res. 12; H.J.Res. 5; H.J.Res. 94; S.J.Res. 1; S.J.Res. 2; or S.J.Res. 48. This would eliminate the need for Legislatures to risk a constitutional convention by applying to Congress for one. With congressional amendments already on the table, a resolution backing them makes far more sense than applications that could inadvertently lead to a runaway convention.
"State Legislatures cannot dictate Amendments to be considered at an Art. V Convention" shows that lobbyists' assurances that Congress can't call a Convention until they receive applications from 34 states asking for the same Amendment, are false. A proposed Congressional "call," H.CON.RES. 15 (2025-2026), proves that Congress might combine all applications together—including centuries-old, obsolete and rescinded applications—to reach the 34-State threshold! This contradicts what convention lobbyists have been telling State Legislators for years to falsely assure them that a convention can't run away.
"State Legislatures have no power to select & control Delegates" shows that Congress decides the number and selection process for Delegates. Furthermore, Delegates have the "self-evident" Right "to alter or to abolish” our existing "Form of Government," as recognized by the Declaration of Independence, 2nd para. So, no one has power over Delegates! But lobbyists falsely assure state legislators that State Legislatures would control the convention—so they'll vote for applications that risk our Constitution.
The “Brilliant Men” flyer shows that James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, four US Supreme Court Justices, and other jurists and scholars warned that Delegates to an Article V convention can't be controlled.
"What the Convention Lobby Isn't Telling You About the Declaration of Independence” shows why Delegates to an Article V convention have the power to throw off the Constitution we have and set up a new one, with a new and easier mode of ratification. The only power State Legislatures are granted under Article V is to ask Congress to call a Convention.
Term Limits were in our first Constitution, the Articles of Confederation, Article V, end of p.1 & p.2. Here's why the Framers left them out of our current Constitution in 1787:
Suggestions for Very Short Letters
Please select just one, modify, write your own, or use a Talking Point above.
1. The Constitution grants State Legislatures NO power to select or control Delegates to an Art. V Convention.
2. There's no such thing as a limited convention.
3. Delegates to a convention called by Congress under Art. V would have more power than state legislators and Congress put together. They could rewrite our Constitution with an easier ratification process—like they did in 1787.
4. Don't believe the high-powered US Term Limits lobbyists who tell legislators in selected states that there will never be a convention—but that you should vote for the application anyway in order to scare Congress into passing the Amendment themselves. That's playing with fire!
5. Limiting the scope of the convention and how the Delegates votes are apportioned, are empty promises by special interest lobbyists wanting your vote. According to the Constitution, the only Art. V power granted to State Legislatures is the power to ask Congress to call a convention, period.
6. The subject matter of the application doesn't matter. The subject is only bait to get your vote. Delegates can't be limited by subject, or anything else.
7. This is not the political environment to be having a convention and opening up our Constitution.
