The Yellow Notebook for My Senate Campaign

13

by Mary W Maxwell LLB

I registered as a candidate for the US Senate on June 11, 2026. I told the NH Secretary of State David Scanlan that I would “door-knock the whole state.” I said I would start in Berlin (northernmost town) and work my way down. But then a friend of mine, Ann, said she would meet me in Vermont on Saturday June 13, so my direction shifted to the west. On Sunday, she and I were so pleased to attend – by accident – the Commencement ceremony of 1,337 Bachelors of Arts at Dartmouth College. Gee, it was uplifting.

It thus seemed right for me to start my campaigning the next day, right there in Hanover NH. And instead of door-knocking (‘DK’) I decided to try ‘APOS’ (accosting people on the street). Nobody took it the wrong way! I made an announcement something like this:

“Hi, I’m a candidate for the United States Senate, but the voting isn’t till September 8. I’m going around New Hampshire to ask voters what they would want me to do in the Senate. So I’d like to know is there anything you wish me to do, or wish me NOT to do.”

I handed each person a copy of the Bill of Rights, and pointed out that this page also indicated my website: ConstitutionAndTruth.com. Everyone was willing to play this game. Oh, I also showed them my “yellow notebook” (a bright yellow folder with blank paper in it, on which I would compile their answers). Here are the first 5 replies I got:

An elderly gent said: “Do what the Senate should do: Foreign affairs, Deficit, Military.”

A chauffeur (and body builder) said “Don’t let Blackrock buy up all the homes.”

An elderly lady rubbed the Bill of Rights lovingly and said “We sure need this.”

An Afghan laborer told me that he had worked for the US Army in Kabul for 5 years on the promise of a green card, but is here now with wife and child and no green card.

A very young cashier unhesitatingly advised: “Just be for the people, Miss.”

Whew!

To put it mildly, I did not get into fisticuffs with anyone, and that reminds me: At the graduation festivities, the police were completely respectful of “the protestors” — a band of about 10 persons in academic robes carrying messages on poles. They walked methodically around the perimeter of the ceremony. One sign simply said “Genocide.”

Who me? A podcaster?

That said, when I got back to my home in Concord, some new books had arrived and I immediately chucked out my plan to forgo reading more books. So now I think I will keep up with the yellow notebook, and also try to do a weekly podcast on important new books, especially on the theme of “Where the hell are we going?”

I have just noticed a GiveSendGo plea for Dr Roger Hodkinson of Canada, who is being persecuted for telling the truth about Covid. He observes “There is a train coming right down the line, and on the front it names the destination: “Dystopia.” We must stop this train.”

My Internet also just fed me a page from European Journal of International Law, on which Philip Allott, a stalwart academic has written:

“The question of the status of international law as true law has never been a merely theoretical question. The attitude of governments to the question has always been of practical importance. It is now a matter of critical topical concern given the great increase in the number of autocracies in recent years, and of democracies whose governments are showing autocratic tendencies, ignoring the fact that denying legal obligations risks the denial of legal rights owed to you by others. Law is reciprocal.”

Prof Allott is always pithy.

Anyone wanting to add something to the Yellow Notebook on the subject of “Law is reciprocal” just let me know.

Thanks, really thanks!

  1. Yes Ok but readers should first note Caltrop ion 19/6 at 1237

    I just scrolled the headlines for 18/6 (US) at:
    http://www.whatreallyhappened.com —stories-
    One headline entry for your yellow book policies when you get to the Senate is what to do about Israel and its land grabs, Lebanon presently is annoying Trump and Vance.
    The consequences for their continued old plan is topical in the headlines, so I am sure your interest must be drawn to this WW111 being pushed.
    So what do we do with Israel?
    Will you promise, when in the Senate, to support Israel as is required to do to have any chance at all. I hear
    that most of your future colleagues are only there if they have complied.
    Of course you would be aware what happened to Cynthia McKinney because she declined to have superior master.
    Wish you well but remember, a ex President stated that if you want a friend in Washington GET A DOG.
    I suggest a Aussie kelpie.

  10. Good luck and all that, but a have a natural distrust of a colour campaign

    A Senator can only review and sign off more law, or my perception is, the devil is in the detail.

    Yes it smells a bit teal, but if you were captain, my captain. I would advocate for all law south of the maxim to yellow/orange or sunset. Every seven years. Sure the issues would cause a lot of work to review and if necessary re-established , but thats why you get the big bucks
