#NHRebellion Rallies Thursday

Org launches 10,000 voter "We the People Pledge" for campaign finance reform in Manchester on Nov. 5.

On Thursday, Nov. 5, 2015, at noon, one year before the 2016 general election, NH Rebellion will hold a press conference and rally to unveil the nonpartisan “We The People Pledge” to fight big money politics.

The launch begins a three-month “march” to the NH primary, with media campaigns and walks planned in dozens of NH towns to collect at least 10,000 voter pledges before the Rebellion’s “Fight Big Money Convention” in early February.

Following the noon rally, citizen rebels decked out as Paul Revere will march through the streets of Manchester to deliver the parchment Pledges to the campaign offices demanding the candidates support the “We the People” reform agenda before the February 9th Primary.

The New Hampshire Rebellion (#NHRebellion) is a cross-partisan movement of citizens who are Walking the Talk to get big money out of politics — 30,000 miles and counting. Inspired by the Declaration of Independence and Article 10 of the NH Constitution, NH Rebellion is mobilizing the public and presidential candidates to declare their independence from big money in politics by denouncing outside spending and committing to fundamental reforms. NH Rebellion is part of Open Democracy, the NH nonprofit founded by legendary reformer Doris “Granny D” Haddock.
