New Hampshire State Representatives Randy Brownrigg (R) (Hills-27) and Kevin Avard (R) (Hills-20) respond to Attorney General Michael Delaney’s displeasure with the Redress of Grevance Committee.
I must respectfully disagree with the Attorney General’s position on this issue. The committee is doing excellent work and is giving a voice to people who have been ignored when reporting government abuses.
There is a reason it was specifically codified in the New Hampshire Constitution in 1784.
[Art.] 32. [Rights of Assembly, Instruction, and Petition.] The people have a right, in an orderly and peaceable manner, to assemble and consult upon the common good, give instructions to their representatives, and to request of the legislative body, by way of petition or remonstrance, redress of the wrongs done them, and of the grievances they suffer.
June 2, 1784
