-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- NEW HAMPSHIRE LEGISLATIVE ALERT URGENT: Help Stop Tax Support for Religious Schools! The New Hampshire General Assembly wants to use your public tax dollars to aid religious schools. A constitutional amendment (CACR 34) will have a hearing before the House Education committee on February 8, 2000. If this bill passes in the house and senate, the question of changing the constitution in favor of providing government funding for religious schools will be on the ballot in the November 2000 election. This amendment would gut the New Hampshire Constitution of its most effective church-state provision and authorize the whole - scale subsidy of religious education. Expenses for tuition, religious classes, religious textbooks, and religious activities, including school time spent in worship or other religious ceremonies, could be included in the tax support. In addition, this amendment would result in substantially less money for New Hampshire's public schools, thereby harming the quality of public education. The New Hampshire State Constitution currently reads in Article 83, "[p]rovided, nevertheless, that no money raised by taxation shall ever be granted or applied for the use of the schools of institutions of any religious sect or denomination." WHAT YOU CAN DO: Tell your elected officials to OPPOSE THE ALLOWANCE OF TAX SUPPORT for private and religious schools found in bills CACR 34. Public money should be invested in for public schools only. Please contact Governor Ryan, your state Senator, and your state Representative in the House. Use the following: Governor Senate House Gov.
