The Pledge (New Hampshire)
The Pledge is a term used in the U.S. state of New Hampshire for a promise by politicians not to support income taxes or sales taxes or other forms of what are known as "broad-based taxes."
Advocates describe it as an important tool in New Hampshire's budgetary process, an embodiment of the state's tradition of frugality and local control. Opponents say it creates a lop-sided and unfair tax structure, overly dependent on property taxes on individuals.

A Gunfighter's Pledge (the working title was The Pledge) is a 2008 Western television film starring Luke Perry. The film premiered on Hallmark Channel in July 2008. It was filmed at Big Sky Ranch in Simi Valley, California.

Ex-lawman Matt Austin (Luke Perry) accidentally kills an innocent man (Alex Paez) while hunting an outlaw who killed his family. He pledges to the dying man that he will take his body to his sister Amaya (Jaclyn DeSantis). Austin wrestles with the idea of telling her he caused the death, but is faced with bigger battles once at the farm. There he gets involved with land baron Horn (C. Thomas Howell), who is trying to take Amaya's land. Their lives are more intertwined than he thought, when he takes on Horn and discovers that Horn has hired the man he was looking for all along.

The Pledge
by: Degarmo & KeyIt's a world of choices patterned to confuse
Distracting little voices whisper what to do
Searching for the pieces one step from the edge
Turn your heart toward Jesus
Make this solemn pledge
He died for me. I'll live for Him
He died for me. I'll live for Him
Above all lords and regents, He is King of kings
I'm pledging my allegiance through these words I sing
Take this oath of service. Write it on your wall
It's our purpose for living life at all
He died for me. I'll live for Him
