Elected Officials Beware:

You Better Support an Article V Convention or You May Be Accused of Bribery

The Congress shall call a convention for proposing amendments


New Hampshire - An organization founded by Mark
Meckler called Convention of States has its
lobbyists in state houses across the United States
promoting an Article V Convention. Their paid
lobbyists and supporters have every right to promote
one but what they dont have a right to do is to
smear honorable people who oppose one, and that
is what they recently did in New Hampshire.

This cartoon was drawn for


this article by
John Birch Society member
Bliss Tew and was included
along with a
Letter-to-the-Editor

Hal Shurtleff, New England Coordinator for The John Birch Society, was contacted by
a friend who shared the following E-mail sent out by the New Hampshire Convention
of States:
Good Morning Supporters,
One of the members of the NH State Senate Committee Kevin Avard is now
opposing SCR4 due to a donation he recently received for his campaign by the
John Birch Society who is against us. Senator Avard is from District 12 which
includes Brookline, Greenville, Hollis, Mason, New Ipswich, Rindge, & Wards 1,
2, & 5 in the City of Nashua. Make a call and leave a voice message to Senator
Avard today at 603-271-4151 and tell him to support SCR4! Dont forget to
leave your name and the town you are calling from.
Priscilla Mills
Grassroots Coordinator
Convention of States Project
Senator Kevin Avard was informed off this outrageous slander and accusation of
bribery and contacted Ms. Mills by email only to receive an arrogant reply to the
effect that if he doesnt like it, he shouldnt be in politics. Senator Avard then
contacted the New Hampshire director of Convention of States, and he went into
damage control mode and issued this weak apology:
On behalf of Convention of States Action New Hampshire, I would like to
publicly apologize to Senator Avard for the email message that was sent
yesterday by our former volunteer Grassroots Coordinator, Priscilla Mills. The
information in the message was inaccurate and I am truly sorry that it was sent.
Please disregard it in its entirety.
I believe that Senator Avard continues to seriously consider both sides of SCR4,
and I hope that this recent error in judgment by one of our former volunteers
will not prevent him from focusing his attention on the critical substance of this
issue for our nation.
For the foreseeable future, I will be the only volunteer sending out
communications on behalf of COS Action New Hampshire, and I will ensure that
no further incorrect information is disseminated.
I sincerely hope that Senator Avard will forgive us and will not hold this error
in judgment (made by one volunteer) against our entire statewide or national
movement.
Sincerely,
John Therriault
New Hampshire State Director

Mr. Therriault called Ms. Mills smear inaccurate


information, and her deed simply an error of judgment.
Hal Shurtleff didnt agree It was not inaccurate
information, it was a bold face lie, Shurtleff said, An error of
judgment? No, it was a hateful attempt to destroy the
reputation of an honorable elected official, and the good men
and women who make up The John Birch Society. Readers
should note that no apology was forthcoming to members of
The John Birch Society. Mr. Shurtleff wanted to make it clear
that the sponsor of the resolution calling for an Article V
Convention, Senator Gary Daniels of Milford, NH is an
honorable man who has nothing to do with this ugly tactic.
Please note that if wasnt for Mr. Shurtleffs friend, this lie
would not have been uncovered. It begs the question: How
many E-mails of this nature went out to Convention of States
supporters that were not detected?
Convention of States has enjoyed the support of many good,
decent Americans who are well-meaning. Let us hope that
they will do a little research into this group that is only a few
years old. May I suggest a visit to this web site for starters:
