Contact your legislators to share why you support a Convention of States and ask them to vote "yes" on [[http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/billinfo.aspx?id=278&inflect=2|HCR 1]].

You can find your [[http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/house/members/|House Representatives' contact information here]]  and your [[http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/senate/members/wml.aspx|Senator's contact information here.]]

 

When you speak with them, share your reasons for supporting a Convention of States.  Ask them to vote "yes" to HCR1, and [[mailto:carol.petrusewicz@cosaction.com|email our State Communications Coordinator]] to let us know their response.

 

**If they share a concern or a question that you do not yet know the answer, <email> to let me know that as well.  Tell your legislator you will follow up with an email.  I will provide you with a link or more to help relieve their concerns.**

 

You can email or call, but an in person visit is most effective.

 

If you are able to meet in person and are able to print, please select one of the sheets below to bring with you. Most of these are one page, double sided.

If you can print off these 7 handouts and the map, great!  

If you can print off one of them, great!  If you only give one, then please follow up with an email with the rest. Thank you!

The goal is to give them a solid foundation on Article V so they feel confident in supporting HCR1.

 

If your Legislators are unable to meet in person and you are emailing them, please share these links in your one email:

To keep you in the loop, all the House Reps have already received the postcard below in the mail. Hopefully this will give you a warm market when contacting.
