58 submissionsperformative and a waste of the people's time. This already happens during the candidate registration process.
Someone doesn't need to have been born here and unduly passed a gauntlet of burdens to be a wonderful, effective and loyal leader.
I support this bill because only US born citizens should be eligible to hold office in NH.
Thank you for supporting this issue.
This is ridiculous, and racist
We need to increase not decrease the business profits tax
Please Amend: Change the "AND" to an "OR" in one place: "....senator, who is not a citizen of the United States, of the age of thirty years, OR who shall not have been an inhabitant of this....."
Unnecessary constitutional amendment that addresses a non-existent problem, reinforces fear-based narratives about elections, and risks future misuse of eligibility requirements.
My name is Karen and I live and vote in Bristol. I OPPOSE this law because this bill seeks to put into the NH Constitution things that are already in law - that one must be a citizen and legal resident of a community to vote. This is already the case.
I opposed this bill, we want to get people out side exercising! This would discourage people being active!
I adamantly oppose this bill which seeks to put into the NH Constitution things that are ALREADY in law and widely believed. This is a complete waste of time for discussion
This bill is a waste of time and tax dollars. It is totally unnecessary.
I feel all children should have the right away with their bicycles i think it's only fair to the traffic that they should have to wait on a child to receive their right away
This amendment to the NH Constitution seeks to add to the Constitution things already dealt with in law. Please vote against this amendment..
