Granite Staters already say they would prefer New Hampshire to govern itself.
Each mark is roughly 11,700 New Hampshire adults. The lit ones already agree.
That is a measured figure, not a wish: 29% of New Hampshire adults, from a poll SurveyUSA ran across the state in June 2022, against a Census count of 1.17 million adults. Among New Hampshire Republicans it was 52%.
A third of a million people. They live in your town, they shop where you shop, and almost none of them know about each other.
They are not a movement yet. Connecting them is the entire job.
That is what NHEXIT is for. Finding the people who already agree and putting them in the same room, in every House district in the state, beats arguing New Hampshire round from a standing start.
Every county in the state.
Granite Staters have put their names to this from Coos down to the seacoast. Not a crowd yet, and not evenly spread, but there is nowhere in New Hampshire where nobody has signed.
The nearest one to you is closer than you think. That is the whole argument for putting your own name down: it is how the person in the next town finds out you exist.
Four in ten Granite Staters want the vote held.
Scotland won the right to a referendum at thirty-three percent.
SurveyUSA asked New Hampshire directly: would you support the idea of New Hampshire holding a vote to find out whether voters want to peacefully separate from the US?
42% said yes. That is close to half a million adults asking for the same thing this campaign asks for, and it is a real measurement of New Hampshire opinion, not a national average borrowed and applied.

Live free or die. Death is not the worst of evils.

No state has a better right to ask.
The Constitution became law because New Hampshire said yes. Article VII needed nine states, eight had gone before, and on 21 June 1788 a convention in Concord made it real.
We granted the authority
Washington's government exists because this state voted for it. That is not a debating point. It is the ratification record.
And we set the terms
In the same instrument New Hampshire demanded twelve amendments. The first: powers not expressly delegated stay with the states. It became the Tenth Amendment.
So we may ask
A people who granted a government its authority on stated terms may ask themselves whether those terms are being kept. That question belongs on a ballot.
New Hampshire is already a nation in all but name.
For a state this size, independence is a change of address on the paperwork rather than a leap into the unknown.
Laws made in Concord
Four hundred representatives, paid $200 a biennium, in districts small enough that your neighbor holds the seat.
The state stays the state
No income tax, no sales tax, town meeting every March. Independence protects that arrangement rather than trading it away.
Four hundred seats. One of them answers to you.

The New Hampshire First Pledge.
A referendum needs sponsors before it needs voters.
Support without a vehicle goes nowhere. Every independence movement that reached a real vote had officeholders willing to carry the question, and that is the piece New Hampshire has been missing.
So we ask candidates and officeholders, of any party and for any elected seat in the state, to make five commitments in public and under their own name. The working one is the third: vote for legislation calling a referendum, every term, until one is held.
The names go on a public roster and they stay there. A signature that could be withdrawn quietly would be worth nothing at the moment it mattered.
Not a candidate? The petition is your route. The two are separate on purpose.
They will not let New Hampshire vote.
The people who insist Granite Staters do not want this hold the simplest way imaginable to prove it. Let New Hampshire vote. A referendum that came back no would end this movement in an afternoon and settle the question for a generation, in their favor, for good.
They are not asking for that vote. They are working to make sure the question is never put at all.
Nobody fights that hard to stop a vote they are certain they would win.
The refusal is not confidence. It is a confession. When one side is asking to put a question to the people and the other is spending everything it has to prevent it, you already know which one has counted the votes.
Put it on the ballot.
Close to half a million Granite Staters already want this question put to them. Winning the argument is not the work in front of us. Winning New Hampshire the vote is.
Add your name and we will tell you which House districts you live in, who holds those seats, and what to say to them.
