STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

 

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty Five

 

A RESOLUTION urging Congress to amend the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2013.

 

Whereas, the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2013 amended federal law in repealing the longstanding prohibition on government propagandizing of the American people; and

Whereas, the lifting of this prohibition has had severely negative consequences for the American people and Granite Staters, seen government adopt preferred narratives thereby becoming an interested party in political debates, positioned the government as the arbiter of "truth" above the body politic, and facilitated psychological warfare techniques such as "nudge theory" against the American people; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives:

That we, the elected members of the house of representatives of the state of New Hampshire, hereby call on federal authorities to reinstate the prior, longstanding prohibition on propagandizing the American people by making necessary amendment to the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act.

Let it be further resolved that copies of this resolution be sent to the members of the New Hampshire Congressional delegation, the governor, the president of senate, the speaker of the house, and chair of the house state-federal relations committee.
