Tell NH Lawmakers: No Mandatory Minimums

Most recent signers:

The message:

This legislative session we are seeing increased efforts from lawmakers to enforce mandatory minimum sentences, which are arbitrary one-size-fits-all sentences that have been proven to be ineffective, unjust, and expensive.

Currently, the New Hampshire Senate is looking to advance two mandatory minimum sentence bills, SB 14 and SB 15, which would over-punish individuals for certain drug-related crimes and contribute to mass incarceration across the Granite State.

If passed, these bills would ignore the unique circumstances of each case, take discretion away from judges and what they see fit for sentencing, and undermine critical constitutional rights of people accused of a crime.

Will you help us stop these bills and advocate for holistic, fair solutions to justice reform?

Subject No mandatory minimums, stop mass incarceration

Body:

As your constituent I urge you to oppose SB 14 and SB 15, two extreme bills that would result in mandatory minimum lengths of incarceration that do not fit their respective crimes and would undermine critical constitutional rights of people accused of a crime.

We know that mass incarceration is not a solution for justice reform in the Granite State, and I urge you to stop these bills from advancing further this legislative session.

Sincerely,

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate salutation *

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
