Paul Allen-Webber

I am writing to you today as a concerned constituent to express my strong opposition to CACR12, the proposed constitutional amendment currently under consideration. After reviewing the implications of this measure, I believe it represents a significant departure from our state’s long-standing principles of governance. My concerns are centered on the following points: 1. Potential for Unintended Consequences: The language of the amendment is broad enough that it could lead to unforeseen legal challenges and administrative burdens that outweigh any perceived benefits. 2. Impact on State Resources: I am concerned that the implementation of this amendment could redirect essential resources away from critical public services and infrastructure projects that New Hampshire residents rely on daily. 3. Preservation of Constitutional Balance: Our current state constitution provides a robust framework for balancing individual rights with the collective good. I believe CACR12 disrupts this balance unnecessarily. New Hampshire has a proud tradition of thoughtful, deliberate legislative action. I urge you to uphold this tradition by voting against CACR12 and focusing instead on policy solutions that address our state's needs without requiring a permanent constitutional change. Thank you for your time, your dedication to public service, and for considering my views on this important matter. I look forward to hearing about your position on this bill.
