Protect Private Property


In 2009, Governor Lynch and primarily Democratic legislators passed a law which attempted to take $110 million from a privately funded medical malpractice fund. The state never contributed any money to this fund. All the monies were paid by healthcare providers from around the state. The New Hampshire Supreme Court held that law unconstitutional because it violated the vested property rights of the policyholders (Click here to see court opinion). Governor Lynch has refused to obey this law and continues efforts to take these funds from the owners. Many citizens and organizations fearful of this unconstitutional assualt on private property have provided important support to the JUA policyholders. This site recognizes these efforts.

153 Candidates Have Signed The Property Protection Pledge


I, the undersigned candidate for state elective office in the State of New Hampshire, pledge as follows:

1.      To protect the property rights of all citizens of New Hampshire as established by the United States and New Hampshire Constitutions;

2.      To oppose any act by any branch, agency, office or officer of state government which would have the effect of denying citizens their property rights; and

3.      To uphold the rule of law, including the Supreme Court’s decision in Tuttle v. New Hampshire Medical Malpractice Joint Underwriting Association which held that policyholders have vested and constitutionally protected rights in the New Hampshire Joint Underwriting Association (JUA) surplus funds.
