STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Eighteen
AN ACT relative to registration of commercial motor vehicles and operator's/drivers' licenses.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Statement of Purpose. The general court finds that the authority of the department of safety is limited to only the commercial users of the public ways and that the corporate state employees have, by their silence, failed to fully inform the sovereign people of this state that an automobile has been confirmed by Chief Justice Grimes, in 108 N.H. 386, to be "private property" defined by current (UCC 9-109), as "household goods" and "consumer goods" not for commercial use or for profit or gain. Further, the courts (Federal and state) have found that corporate public servants who ignore their accountability as mandated in (United States Constitution) Bill of Rights have by their silence and failure to fully inform the sovereign people of the consequences arising from the corporate "offer to contract," is deemed silent deception and inducement by fraud (A list of several cases published in unpublished are documented below).
(a) "Automobile" and "motorcycle" means any self-propelled conveyance used for noncommercial travel upon the public ways.
(b) "Motor vehicle" means any self-propelled conveyance designed and used upon the public ways for profit or gain in business or commerce.
(c) "Household goods" or "consumer goods" has the same meaning as the Uniform Commercial Code found at RSA 382-A:9-102 and shall include an automobile. Automobiles and all noncommercial conveyances shall be exempt from the license and registration required of commercial motor vehicles.
(d) "Operator" or "driver" means one who controls the movement of a conveyance upon the public way for commercial or business purposes.
(e) "Traveler" means one who controls the automobile or other noncommercial conveyance.
(f) "Common law" means the sole remedy for any controversy arising from or by the public use of household goods or consumer goods such as an automobile or other noncommercial conveyance.
II. The department of safety shall provide, at no cost, every noncommercial automobile owner or owner of an other noncommercial conveyance with an appropriate decal imprinted with the words "RSA 382-A:9-109 Exempt." The division of motor vehicles shall also issue all noncommercial traveler a photo identification card at no cost with the words "RSA 382-A:9-109 Exempt" printed on such identification card. This identification card is not a contract or a license or instrument that would require compelled performance by the holder and shall provide every law enforcement agency with notice of the holder's exemption from the statutes that are required for the commercial use of the public way for profit or gain.
“The parties to a contract have no obligation to check the terms on a periodic basis to learn whether they have been changed by the other side.1 Indeed, a party can’t unilaterally change the terms of a contract; it must obtain the other party’s consent before doing so. Union Pac. R.R. v. Chi., Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pac. R.R., 549 F.2d 114, 118 (9th Cir. 1976).
This is because a revised contract is merely an offer and does not bind the parties until it is accepted. Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperating Ass ’n v. Monaghan, 188 F.2d 906, 909 (9th Cir. 1951). And generally “an offeree cannot actually assent to an offer unless he knows of its existence.” Samuel Williston & Richard A. Lord, A Treatise on the Law of Contracts § 4:13, at 365 (4th ed. 1990); see also Trimble v. N.Y. Life Ins. Co., 255 N.Y.S. 292, 297 (App. Div. 1932) (“An offer may not be accepted until it is made and brought to the attention of the one accepting”).
Even if Douglas’s continued use of Talk America’s service could be considered assent, such assent can only be inferred after he received proper notice of the proposed changes. Douglas claims that no such notice was given. The error reflects fundamental misapplications of contract law and goes to the heart of petitioner’s claim.”
This simply means that the government may send you a notice, that is in disguise a contract, without ever having to tell you that "this is an offer to contract", and that by your receiving this offer, a constitute your accepting our offer and the terms and conditions associated with the offer. The New Hampshire's State legislature, its Supreme Court, and State governor have all agreed, that their failure to inform you is as the courts have stated, is silent deception and inducement to fraud.
"Silence can only be equated with fraud when there is a legal or moral duty to speak, or when an inquiry left unanswered would be intentionally misleading... We cannot condone this shocking conduct... If that is the case we hope our message is clear. This sort of deception will not be tolerated and if this is routine it should be corrected immediately"
U.S. v. Tweel, 550 F2d 297, 299-300
