If you missed Rep. Aron’s excellent report from the State House this morning, please save it for later. We also publish Rep. McGuire’s detailed State House newsletter, which is worth some time if you want or need to dig into the weekly legislative weeds.

We also share which Republicans missed how many votes in the NH House each week, to the dismay of some and the revelation of others. One Rep. writing here admitted that he should not get too uppity about not having a perfect attendance record. Things come up, and you will miss some votes. That has been our position from the beginning of this project and a point made in every installment.

The citizen legislature is not a paid gig. You are entitled ot have a life that infringes on your ability to be present for every vote. Not everyone thinks these disclaimers are adequate, and some have claimed that we are causing harm to Republican Reps with this sort of reporting. You are entitled to your opinion, and if you feel strongly enough, send an Op-Ed making your case, and we’ll publish it.

I am happy to give you access to the same audience, and perhaps they will agree. Our purpose is not to besmirch good reps but to set a fire under the ones that can get there but don’t. We watched the first two months of a razor-thin majority do what it could on its own and found it lacking. If this offends you, then it does.

No one disagrees that elected Republican reps should be available on session day or that some needed a bit more encouragement. If this causes some measure of anxiety, your constituents might say that is good—with the understanding that perfect should not be the enemy of good. 

If you are contacting a rep about missed votes, be polite. Most will have a legitimate reason, but a few can’t be bothered—these are the session-long serial offenders (on this weeks list)

Here is a link to last week’s installment and the year-to-date attendance percentages from the week before.

The post NH House Republican Attendance for the Week of 3-14-2024 [Update] appeared first on Granite Grok.

One whistleblower has a way of encouraging others, and we’ve had several reach out regarding VA facilities in New England. Our Manchester VA whistleblower inspired this latest report from a new whistleblower who says they are sick of the poor leadership.

The New England VA appears to be spending your money on “gatherings” when it has more pressing issues.

Currently the entire VA is basically insolvent. VA Maine has a deficit of $7M, Manchester $22M. White River Junction $48M. VA Boston $95M. VA Bedford $13M. Hiring is at a standstill as the VISN director tries to figure out how to find the money to solve the deficit. Veterans are being sent to the community for care. And where are the VA Hospital Directors and over 100 Nursing leaders today and tomorrow? They are all at a retreat in Portland Maine burning taxpayer money that could be used for veteran care.

“Today” was Thursday, and ‘Tomorrow” is today (Friday, March 15th).

 

It is cute how they ask you to keep the travel costs down, which reminds me of something I like to say when someone in my family says they can get 30% off some purchase. I know how you could save another 70%.

If you’d like to put that into perspective, we (as a nation) are spending billions to fly illegal aliens into the country and then house them in hotels that many of us might not be able to afford to stay in ourselves for more than a few days.

We are sending tens of billions overseas for every manner of so-called national interest, but housing and caring for veterans take a back seat to these priorities.

No one reading this is likely surprised by the news, so the question has to be, are we so used to it that we are numb?

The contact stated that they also have monthly leadership meetings at your expense in Portland, Maine, or in Portsmouth, NH.

How does this square fit with VA guidelines for necessary travel?

 

More from our latest VA whistleblower:

The issue isn’t whether the travel is legal. Maybe it meets the criteria, but when hospitals aren’t hiring first-line nurses, clerks, and doctors, the optics of a couple of hundred “leaders” making a retreat in Maine is bad.

It does look bad. It is also how government-controlled health care looks. To which they’ll say, well – we have to have these meetings to fix all the problems. I’m sure this isn’t your first such gathering, so how has that worked out for Veterans and taxpayers?

Zoom meetings, anyone?

I suspect this is one reason why so many Covidians simply refuse to see.  If they consciously acknowledged this, they’d have to acknowledge the danger they’re in… and the fact that they let it happen to them, even were rejoicing in the Jab at the time.

 

 

 

 

 

I may NEED a doctor from time to time, but I no longer TRUST them like I used to.

 

 

 

I know so, so, so many libs who – when SHTF and they get robbed and/or worse, will state they had no clue things like this were coming.  Note that I read, a few years ago, that if the power goes down the real festivities start at about Day Three.

I can’t stress this enough… to my knowledge the 100% censoring of a document related to public health has never happened before.

Related to taking guns away, the powerful in government are trying to make SURE they have a monopoly on violence by stopping any “non-approved” training of a “para-military” type.  They have recently introduced a bill to outlaw all para-military activities that do not receive government permission.  This outlaws teaching about firearms, military tactics, drilling, or practicing pretty much ANYTHING that is not a state sanctioned military (like the National Guard).  You could get arrested for teaching your children to shoot safely.  Or how to use camo effectively.  Heck, even the Boys Scouts could be in trouble for training to earn the Rifle & Shotgun merit badge!    The whole point of the 2nd Amendment is so WE THE PEOPLE can form Militias which are NOT under government control.  As far as I’m concerned, this bill is blatantly unconstitutional, but when has that stopped the Deep State?.  There are actually two bills, one in the Senate & one in the House, but they are basically identical.  If they can get this to pass, they have effectively gutted the 2A, as (in their eyes) there is no longer a reason to “bear arms” for a “well regulated militia”.

NH Senator Kevin Avard filed bill SB304 to create a cause of action for medical injuries resulting from medical gender transition. I submitted the following testimony in support of his bill to the NH Senate Judiciary Committee. It is the personal and tragic account of a young detransitioner from Massachusetts who tweets at twitter.com/sam_the_m.

My name is Sam. I started identifying as transgender as a teenager, which would eventually lead me down the path of cross-sex hormones and irreversible surgeries. By the time I was 21 years old, I had completed my medical transition which included having my penis and testicles amputated, a decision that I now deeply regret. 

I was formally diagnosed with gender dysphoria by two qualified psychologists, both of whom recommended sex reassignment as a solution to my gender dysphoria. During both of my assessments, few attempts were made at understanding the underlying etiology of my gender dysphoria or the underlying motivations that led me to identify as transgender. I was treated based on the affirmation model of care, where therapists are discouraged and sometimes even prohibited from attempting to question or challenge the decisions and beliefs of their clients. 

A balanced approach to treatment for young people who experience gender dysphoria should include a differential diagnosis and explorative therapy to address comorbid psychosocial conditions before escalating to drastic and irreversible measures like a gender transition. There is limited evidence that suggests that sex reassignment procedures produce desirable long-term outcomes, and many young people who undergo this process will come to regret it. 

A notable study of adolescents with gender dysphoria concluded that most adolescents who experience gender dysphoria will grow out of it by the time they reach adulthood. I would eventually grow out of my gender dysphoria by the time I was 22 years old, but by that time my reproductive organs had already been amputated. 

A medical doctor who supports the decision of a patient to have their arms amputated would be met with disgrace and would have their fitness to practice questioned. Why is this not the case when the patient demands to have their reproductive organs removed?

In retrospect, as I reflect on my journey, I now recognize that I was immature and lacked the wisdom necessary to understand the long-term implications of my decisions. I feel that I was misled to believe that I was born in the wrong body and that gender reassignment was a solution to my discomfort, and subsequently subjected to a medical experiment that reminds me more of a modern-day lobotomy than evidence-based healthcare. 

I hope you will make the right decision to promote patient safety and protect young people from being irreversibly harmed by irresponsible practitioners.

The post New Hampshire Bill Would Protect Young People From Modern-Day Lobotomies appeared first on Granite Grok.

The acronym E.D., which I have long referred to as Electile Dysfunction – the inability to overcome any number of voting-related irregularities needed to elect good candidates, is more commonly associated with erectile dysfunction, and to be honest, that almost seems like the same problem.

Whatever it is, you can’t get it up or keep it up. Solving this problem is big business. Sectors of the economy have devoted themselves to the project. Email marketers have a field day coming up with subject lines that will get men (and maybe women) to open themselves to whatever possibilities lay inside.

You’re not a man if you can’t (you know), but we’re here with a sure-fire solution that will get you back in the saddle overnight—a money-back guarantee. No salesman will call.

Did you know there is a similar anxiety among electric vehicle owners? A majority of them, having spent large sums (even after taxpayer-backed incentives and bailouts) to acquire these forms of transportation, are anxious about whether they’ll be able to find a place to charge them.

Great mileage, but...

More than 90% drivers worldwide report feeling “anxious” about finding somewhere to charge away from home, according to a survey of 5,454 motorists worldwide, including 2,225 BEV owners conducted by Parkopedia. …

Other key findings of the survey: 44% of BEV drivers have reported that they have run out of charge and 22% found themselves stranded multiple times. Globally, 92% of BEV drivers flagged how they struggled to locate charging points away from home.

And there we have the answer. You’re not supposed to leave home. Your Electric Vehicle is meant to sit in your driveway (assuming you’ve paid your rain tax) as an ornament or monument to the revolution. A world where behavior is manipulated toward dead ends. You bought this costly thing, and we’ll assume that made you feel good about how (you thought) other people would feel when they saw what you did. But using it was prohibitive before you bought in, and I can’t think of a better metaphor for Democrat rule.

A big shiny thing full of promise that, in reality, will become an impractical anchor on your freedom. You bought a boat in the middle of a desert, and the cure for this is not to make other people pay to bring in water. Trade in the boat for a camel. It’s the sort of thinking that might help solve a few other problems, as well.

 

The post We Should Call EV Owner Anxiety Electric Vehicle Dysfunction (EVD) appeared first on Granite Grok.

We learned that the House needed a lesson on microphone etiquette. The General Court Technical Services (GCTS) Team came to work on the microphones prior to the House session and shared some tips and techniques with our House Clerk, Paul Smith.

Our House Clerk walked us all through proper distancing microphone techniques for when we come up to speak at “the well.” Now, we can all hear those floor speeches that go way past three minutes and lose everyone’s attention much better.

We also learned about the good work accomplished by Rep. Sharon Nordgren (D-Hanover), who passed away on February 10, 2024. Rep. Mary Jane Wallner (D-Merrimack) shared memories about Rep. Nordgren, and the House welcomed family members attending in the upstairs gallery.

We learned that we covered a lot of ground this week with 40 or so bills and lots of motions to vote on. So let’s get into it.

The House agreed to expand the area in which law enforcement would need a search warrant. HB1204 and its amendment protect privacy from government intrusion outside of the home on the person’s property. If the property is posted or has “No Trespassing” signs, then law enforcement would need to obtain a warrant. The bill passed 228-139. Now, get off my lawn.

HB1276 passed 198-175. This bill repeals the prohibition on the sale and possession of blackjacks, slung shots, and metallic knuckles… except to minors. Rep. Dennis Mannion (R-Salem) explained how these small, lightweight self-defense tools are useful for people like joggers who are out running or others who may be hiking out in secluded areas. Of course, Rep. David Meuse (D-Portsmouth) believes that every school child will get one of these items and crack open someone’s cranium and that there will be a big rush to the slung shot store, resulting in everyone engaged in crime and street fighting after passage of this bill.

We also learned that a voice vote tabled HB1336. There was just too much controversy regarding making it allowable for an employee to keep a loaded firearm in his personal locked vehicle while at work. The bill would also remove any civil liability on the part of the employer should there be an illegal use of that firearm by a third party – as in if the car or firearm was stolen from the parking lot. This was where 2nd Amendment rights interfered with property rights. While 2nd amendment rights should not be infringed, we also cannot dictate to a property owner/employer what he can or cannot allow on his business property (parking lot).

Additionally, we learned that the bill that House Democrats filed, HB1162, to try to repeal the prohibition of Critical Race Theory (CRT) (and similar curriculum) from being taught in our schools (RSA 193:40) was Indefinitely Postponed with a vote of 192-183. House Democrats wanted to repeal laws that prevent any public employee from teaching, advocating, or advancing that people of one age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, creed, color, and more are inherently racist. They wanted to repeal provisions in the law that grant the right of freedom from discrimination in public workplaces and education. They kept trying to say that teachers can’t teach about the Holocaust or Jim Crow Laws, etc., but we all know that is not true at all. Since RSA 193:40 was enacted in 2021, the teaching of history hasn’t changed at all. The truth is that it is one thing to teach ABOUT hate and a completely other thing to teach kids HOW to hate. Teaching kids HOW to hate is what CRT (and curriculum like it) does. House Dems apparently are good with that.

We learned that HB1305 ultimately passed with its amendments (206-169) after some brilliant strategy by Rep. Jason Osborne (R-Auburn). This bill was all about securing freedom of speech on our college campuses. After the motion to pass the amendment 2024-0654h failed (181 Y-182 N) because House members had left the chamber and could not vote, Rep. Osborne called for Reconsideration, at which point members had returned to the House Chamber. Reconsideration passed 189-183 and then the Amendment was voted on again where it passed 192-182. Another amendment, 2024-1094h, also passed 197-175, and then the bill passed OTP/A. It is important to note that this was a bi-partisan vote, and members Rep. Jonah Wheeler (D–Peterborough) and Rep. Valerie McDonnell (R-Salem) both spoke in favor of the bill and the importance of free speech on college campuses. The big take away was in order to get good bills passed, members must remain in their seats and not wander off to practice their free speech in the ante room..

We further learned that a bill that should have died, but didn’t, was HB1311. This bill requires school districts to adopt policies for library collection development that would prohibit forbidding acquiring or prohibiting materials based on an author’s “protected class.” It would also allow the administration to reject parental complaints about inappropriate materials. An attempt to Indefinitely Postpone this bill failed (185 Y-190 N) even after Rep. Rick Ladd (R-Haverhill) said, “If I know it’s time to clean up our libraries, I would press green”. Then, after that vote, House Democrats and 8 Republicans voted Ought To Pass on this awful bill (194 Y-180 N). It appears House Democrats are hell-bent on keeping age-inappropriate materials in our schools because they feel it allows our children to “explore and expand their minds.” So when it comes to pornography and graphic violent material …. “it’s for the children.”

HB1312 passed 186 Y-185 N. This bill requires parental notification of student health or well-being and certain curricula by school districts. More robust opt-out procedures and advance notice were included, along with prohibiting a district from adopting a policy that prohibits school personnel from answering parents’ questions about their child’s physical, mental, or emotional health, sexuality, or changes in related services. All House Democrats and 3 Republicans voted against this pro-parent bill. It was roll called so you can see who supports parents.

There were two attacks against the Education Freedom Account program in the form of HB1512 and HB1594. Both were Indefinitely postponed 187-185 and 189-184, respectively. One bill tried to limit the budget allocation of the EFA program, and the other tried to establish an annual review of eligibility qualifications for EFA families. Annual changes in income might have created the possibility of kids becoming “yo-yos” as they could be tossed in and out of the program based on annual changes in eligibility. All Democrats voted in lockstep to try to undermine this successful and nationally acclaimed school choice program…. Because you know, “it’s for the kids”.

We learned that a number of good election law bills passed: HB1146, which allows a voter to remove themself from the voter checklist – like when they move out of town or out of state. That passed 186-183. Then HB1348 passed 191-183 with an amendment. That bill allows for a candidate to apply for a recount if the total count of ballots exceeds the total number of registered voters. The HB1369 passed 191-181, which allows for verification of voter rolls every four years. We also passed HB1370 254-120 which would require plastic durable containers to be used, instead of cardboard boxes, to store ballots. Rep. Robert Wherry (R-Hudson) lauded the use of sturdy plastic containers and implored everyone to “save the trees.”

The House killed HB1557 by Indefinite Postponement 189-185. This bill would have required the Secretary of State to enter into a cooperative agreement with the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC). ERIC is hailed as being a secure, bipartisan, long established, reliable, fiscally responsible, nonprofit association of states working together to improve the accuracy of voter checklists. The major problem is that ERIC requires that you share private voter information, like social security numbers, date of birth, driver’s license number, and other sensitive information with an outside organization, which violates Part 1 Art. 2-b of the NH State Constitution… and individual’s right to privacy. Florida, Missouri and West Virginia already revoked their membership to ERIC over privacy concerns. The NH House made the right vote on this one. You can’t spell “Privacy Concerns” without “ERIC.”

That another election law bill, HB1569, passed 189-185. This was a huge win for voter integrity as it eliminated the affidavit process (i.e., voter identification “exceptions”). 189 House members said “enough” with allowing people to vote without proper identification, even if they put their vote aside and hope they come back with proper ID. Let’s face it; nowadays, you need ID to do so many things: buy cold medicine, board a plane, drive a car, drink at a bar, open a bank account, rent a hotel room, pick up packages from USPS, enter certain government buildings, buy a firearm, and so on. Rep. Robert Wherry (R-Hudson) invoked “The Who” as they were correct in asking, “Who Are You?” and that song should apply to voting in NH. Same-day registration is fine… just prove you are who you say you are, and we’re all good. Now, between “We Didn’t Start The Fire” and “Who Are You?” are there any bets on what musical hit we’ll be referencing next week?

A fast tracked Senate Bill, SB395, passed 213-136. This bill will statutorily establish the position of assistant commissioner in the Department of Agriculture, Markets and Food. It was budgeted for, but never had a formal job title slot in state statute. So if you’re looking for a new gig, the salary range is $87,373-$121,751.

HB1231 passed 294-66. This bill allows qualifying patients and designated caregivers to cultivate cannabis for therapeutic use. If you’ve got a qualifying health condition and meet other criteria, and you’re into gardening, you can possess 8 ounces of usable cannabis, three mature plants, three immature plants, and 12 seedlings.

We also learned that HB1156 was Tabled. This bill would have provided preemptive protection against extranational organizations—like the World Health Organization—from attempting to impose binding health policies onto Granite Staters via overreaching international protocols.

We learned that HCR9 passed OTP/A via voice vote after an ITL motion failed 238-128, and then an amendment was passed 209-161. This House Concurrent Resolution proposes the rescission of HCR40, adopted in 2012, requesting Congress call an Article V Constitutional Convention to propose an amendment to the Constitution requiring a Balanced Budget Amendment. Proponents of this bill understand that a Con Con will not be restricted to a particular topic and can open up the US Constitution to all manner of amendments. Plus, it is unclear who and how delegates to this convention would be chosen/appointed, and with monied interests lurking about what kind of influence to such a convention could be bought.

That HB1244 was ITL’d 188-171. This bill would have prohibited smoking in your vehicle if persons under the age of 16 are passengers. It was another bill that’s “for the children”… and, on its face, may sound like a good idea if you can’t open a window… but the question remains as to what else the government is going to tell you that you can’t do in your own vehicle. As Rep. Ted Gorski (R- Bedford) said, “Tell Big Brother to stay out of the cars of NH citizens.”

We also learned that HB1332 was ITL’d on a voice vote after the OTP motion failed 145-221. This bill would have prevented Electric Vehicles from parking in parking garages. The premise is that they are very heavy and can be fire hazards. It was noted that a parking garage in NYC collapsed due to an EV fire. Well, it looks like EV owners won’t have to waste electric energy circling the block a few more times looking for a parking space.

Finally, we learned that HB1254 was Indefinitely Postponed 195-171. This bill would have allowed municipalities, like Conway and Portsmouth, to tack on an additional fee of up to $2 (public safety assessment) to room occupancies in order to pay for municipal services. The premise is that people vacationing in an area should have to pay for the extra municipal services needed to deal with them vacationing there. Tourism has an impact on the area that the locals either are unable or unwilling to absorb. The problem with this is because municipalities decide on the fee, it can create a checkerboard of different fees across the state, and it really is a new tax in “tax-free NH.” It might be better to figure out a more equitable way to divvy up the rooms and meals tax or find some other way for the municipality to deal with the impact lucrative tourism has on them. Perhaps the hotels can put a voluntary tip jar at their concierge desk.

Read more next week and see how House Democrats will continue to fight to restrict your rights, keep age-inappropriate materials in our schools, push their expensive green agenda, kill successful education programs, and support illegal aliens and criminal activity in our state as we convene on March 21st!

I am old enough to remember when George Stephanopoulos and the rest of the Clinton-Regime toadies attacked the women who came forward claiming that they had been raped and sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton. You can call Steph a hypocrite for rape-shaming Rep. Nancy Mace, if you wish. But it is NOT hypocrisy.

It is hierarchy, an element of communism.

Steph and the Left believe there are two sets of rules. One for them, the rulers, and another for those who don’t want Steph and his ilk to rule over them. Hence, the same rules do NOT apply to Bill Clinton and Joe Biden as they apply to Trump. The latter is a “rapist” because a kangaroo court in New York says he is. Clinton and Biden are pro-women and their accusers are trailer-park trash, etc., etc., etc..

But just keep pretending that we can find “common ground” with Communists like Steph and that Steph and his ilk do NOT intend to steal the 2024 election as they stole the 2020 election.

“You were out of line, you were offensive…”@MegynKelly unloads on Jimmy Kimmel, Robert De Niro, and George Stephanopoulos for leftist hypocrisy.

A number of bills proposed for the 2024 session would increase liberty for Granite Staters by holding police accountable or by making it more difficult for them to act as tyrants. Many areas of the laws could be improved this session, including traffic laws and protection of due process.

The post Pro-Liberty Bills Would Protect Us From Cops appeared first on The Liberty Block.

In January 2024, there was a meeting of the New Hampshire House State-Federal Relations and Veteran Affairs committee. The committee heard two separate bills on secession.

The first one, CACR 20, would be a constitutional amendment that would see the people of NH vote to amend the constitution to say that if the federal government’s national debt reaches $40 trillion, New Hampshire shall peacefully secede from the union.
The second one, HB1130 would form a commission to study everything we would need to know about secession, such as economic impact.

This is video of the full public hearing for both bills and the people’s testimonies.

On Wednesday morning, NHexit.US announced that local liberty activists in New Hampshire have hired a chartered airplane pilot to fly a pro-independence banner over the three largest cities in the state. Over the past few years, the calls for serious discussions on peaceful separation of New Hampshire from DC and the union have grown dramatically. New Hampshire is already home to the most influential liberty movement in the world.

Notable events since 2021 include:

• legislation to place an independence referendum on the ballot which was sponsored by nine lawmakers in the New Hampshire House
• a poll by SurveyUSA finding that almost 100% of NH residents strongly resent the federal government and 29% are ready to secede immediately
• increasing demands by lawmakers and the centrist governor telling the DC tyrants to back off 
• An abundance of pro-independence sentiment, including flags for the Granite Republic, hats, T-shirts, books, articles, and podcasts, and even a national anthem

This Saturday, an airplane banner could be added to that list. The tentative plan is for the banner to fly over Nashua, Manchester, and Concord. If you look up while in one of these cities, you just might be able to snap a photo or record a video of the banner. We encourage our readers to post their photos to social media with the tags #NHexit, #secession, and #NHpolitics. 

Additionally, the question of secession will be asked by another highly reputable pollster. The University of New Hampshire is currently conducting a political survey that includes multiple questions related to New Hampshire independence. The results could be published within days or a few weeks. 

 

 

The post Secession Airplane Banner Flying Over Merrimack Valley Saturday appeared first on Foundation for New Hampshire Independence.

A recent poll conducted by SurveyUSA on behalf of the Foundation for New Hampshire Independence (FNHI) shows that while the peaceful separation of New Hampshire from the federal government has low support among politicians, it has significant support among registered voters.

According to an overwhelming number of respondents, the people of the United States are getting more and more divided over important issues like LGBT rights, guns, abortion, election integrity, race relations, involvement in foreign wars, climate change, immigration, and so on (91%).  Nearly as many fear that if this trend continues, it will lead to increases in political violence (89%).

Large majorities of respondents agreed that the federal government doesn’t have their best interests in mind (67%); that it violates their rights more than it protects those rights (65%); that it produces laws, regulations, and court rulings that are incompatible with New Hampshire’s culture of freedom (63%); and that its financial decisions and economic regulations hurt our livelihoods, and could lead to inflation and bankruptcy (77%).

In short, 63% of respondents feel that their state can be trusted more than the federal government.

One possible way forward would be for New Hampshire to begin ignoring federal laws and regulations regarding matters reserved to the States by the 10th Amendment. Fewer than half of respondents believe that the federal government should be able to force New Hampshire to follow federal mandates and laws regarding cannabis (27%), medicine (37%), public health (42%), education (41%), welfare (42%, firearms (42%), businesses (38%), and abortion (33%).

This approach, also referred to as ‘nullification’ is common, currently being utilized by dozens of states, and is consistent with the recent enactment of New Hampshire HB 1178, ‘prohibiting the state from enforcing any federal statute, regulation, or Presidential Executive Order that restricts or regulates the right of the people to keep and bear arms’. 

However, a more comprehensive way forward would be for New Hampshire to reclaim its sovereignty, peacefully separating from the federal government to govern itself as an independent country, an idea that was supported by 29% of respondents and 52% of Republicans. Only 58% of respondents do not support immediate and full secession from the federal government today. More than 2/5 of respondents agreed that the state should be able to do this without securing permission from the federal government (43%). And only 3% of respondents would support the use of military force by the federal government to interfere with such a separation.

Again, while politicians declined to put the question to the people, more than 2/5 of respondents support the idea of placing independence on the ballot (42%) while only 47% currently oppose it.

History is filled with proposals that seemed at first to be politically impossible, but after serious discussion and evolving circumstances, proved to be politically inevitable. To take just one example, shall-issue laws for concealed carry licenses, once viewed as extreme, are now the law in nearly every state. As the results of this poll show, peaceful separation already has more support now than shall-issue laws had in 1990. Today, not only is shall-issue the norm, but 25 states allow their residents to carry concealed guns without even requiring a permit. If New Hampshire independence follows a similar path, it may only be a few short years away from broad adoption. 

The survey also found strong support for independence and extreme discontent with DC politicians among all 8 states polled. In Texas, 90% of Republicans recently endorsed putting secession on the ballot, officially placing the position in their platform. California progressives have a strong independence movement of their own, and surveys show that around half of Californians support or are open to independence from the union. Progressives in Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington also support independence. States like South Carolina, Florida, and many other states have new independence movements that are rapidly growing, as well. 

The post New Hampshire Survey Shows Disdain For DC, Support For Independence appeared first on Foundation for New Hampshire Independence.

Over the past few weeks, a group of pro-freedom activists in New Hampshire has been holding informal meetings to brainstorm how to best promote independence in the next legislative session. Predictably, progressive authoritarians have already begun to attack the concepts of independence and liberty. A few conservatives cling to hope that they can fix DC and all 50 states, convince all Democrats to embrace conservative liberty values, and ‘save America’. 

 

I have written dozens of articles, published three books, and produced hundreds of videos making the case for a national divorce from the authoritarians. Here are just 100 reasons why every New Hampshire citizen who supports freedom should support a bill and a ballot referendum on independence from DC. 

 

1. Without the federal income tax, we’d each save around $25,000/year right off the bat.
2. The IRS is corrupt, tyrannical, and about to grow by 80,000 employees and billions of dollars. Years ago, they were caught targeting conservatives. Now, they are surely much more polarized and hateful against us. I could live without them.
3. The ATF is extremely anti-gun. They have been one of the biggest reasons that federal gun control laws have grown increasingly strict. The ATF passes laws and bypasses Congress. Once the murderous criminal, Dave Chipman is confirmed as the new ATF director, things will get much worse. I could live without the ATF. Once we divorce DC by declaring independence from the union, the ATF will no longer have jurisdiction over us. 
4. The CDC is out of control, and the agency will only ever grow more tyrannical. This was before corona-fascism made the CDC into the most harmful agency to liberty of all 400 illegal executive agencies. By the way, did you know that the CDC took legal ownership over every rental property in the united states?
5. I don’t trust Joe Biden to run my life or to do anything that could impact me. I have around 28 trillion reasons for distrusting that corrupt, evil, demented sociopath. 
6. I don’t trust Congress to run my life. They have proven time and again that they support authoritarian socialism. Even with majorities in the House and the Senate and even with Trump in the White House, Congress did nearly nothing to expand liberty. But they did pass many laws that violated my natural rights. 
7. The federal government benefits from terribly untrustworthy elections, such as the one in 2020. Once HR1 passes into law, all elections in the united states will be required to abide by the same insane rules that caused us all to doubt the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
8. Once HR51 passes into law, DC will be a state, complete with two more hardcore socialist Senators. The Democrats will control the Senate forever.
9. If you aren’t a big fan of sobriety checkpoints, you’ll be happy to learn that they are federally funded. Once we divorce the feds, it’s unlikely that any local police dept. will spend the money on the checkpoints. 
10. If you aren’t a big fan of immigration checkpoints, you’ll be happy to learn that they are federally funded and/or conducted. Once we divorce the feds, it’s unlikely that any local police dept. will spend the money on the checkpoints. 
11.  Local cops only use tanks, drones, BEARcats, and other aggressive military gear against us because the feds give them those toys. Once we cut ties with DC, our local cops will return to their proper role as peace officers instead of acting as soldiers against us.
12. One of the reasons that Dictator Sununu locked us down and derailed our economy involved pressure and money from DC encouraging him to do so. 
13. If you don’t like being forced to pay for the DC politicians to wage futile endless wars in dozens of countries all over the world while veterans, women, and babies in our own communities starve on the streets, it means you want to separate from DC. 
14. If you are ready to give up on the war on drugs and stop sending cops to homes to punish people for consuming a plant, separating from DC is the first step you must take. DC politicians STILL consider cannabis a schedule one top-tier dangerous substance that is 100% illegal to possess. 
15. Do you love it when cops steal your property (car, house, money, guns, etc.) without convicting you of a crime? Well, federal law allows law enforcement to seize any property that could be involved in a past, present, or even future crime. And the feds have ‘extended’ that authority to state and local cops. Once we sever ties with DC, cops in NH lose the power of civil asset forfeiture.
16. If you ever wondered why bad cops almost never receive any punishment, you should know that ‘qualified immunity’ is a federal doctrine. Without DC, local cops become much more accountable to their neighbors.
17. The millions of federal regulations cost businesses over 2 trillion dollars each year in lost productivity. Once we divorce DC, our businesses will truly be able to unleash their creativity, making New Hampshire more prosperous than we could ever imagine.
18. Who should decide whether NH accepts illegal aliens or Afghan refugees? Biden and Pelosi or our governor and legislature?
19. Are you tired of being ruled by nine lawyers in long black robes who live in DC and have the power of Gods? If five out of the nine rule a certain way, that becomes the law for all 330,000,000 people in the united states.  
20. The federal reserve and DC politicians have overseen a decline in 99% of the US dollar’s purchasing power over the past century.
21. DC politicians have run up a debt of 28 trillion dollars and counting. And they claim that you and I are responsible for it. 
22. Nearly every politician has ambitions and eventually wishes to be sent to DC. This affects nearly every decision they make. Once DC is no longer in their minds, they will focus on what is most important: you.
23. Federal law enforcement (including the FBI) have shown themselves to be thoroughly corrupt. Even conservative commentators like Dan Bongino have called for their abolition. A few months ago, the FBI and other federal cops came to New Hampshire and violently kidnapped six of my friends. They are charging them with crimes that could result in them spending the remainder of their lives in federal prison. Their excuse? That my friends committed some victimless crimes by using and selling cryptocurrency. Once we leave DC, that will never happen again. 
24. Want a suppressor so that you can save your hearing? They are only illegal because the feds prohibit them. Without the feds, NH would be totally free, and you could put a suppressor on your SBR without any worries. 
25. Are you worried about increasingly strict EPA restrictions on vehicles, houses, and everything else? Once we divorce DC, they will have no jurisdiction over us.
26. Are you sick of random federal judges issuing injunctions that overrule actual laws passed by Congress or state legislatures? An independent NH would not have to worry one bit about federal judges.
27. The DC politicians are destroying the once-mighty American military. Their current secretary of defense and commander-in-chief continually insist that the #1 priority for their military is pleasing LGBT individuals. An independent New Hampshire could have a military with a top priority of defending us against hostile militaries. As it should be.
28. Have you accumulated a respectable net worth? Soon, the federal government will tax your net worth each year in addition to all of the other taxes. 
29. The US Congress literally does not represent you or me.
30. The federal government hates you. Especially if you are white. 
31. Multiple federal court rulings have declared that the first amendment does not protect any speech that is insulting, especially towards a government agent. 
32. Right now, even policies that you think are set by state lawmakers are really controlled by the feds via extortion. 
33. If the thought of Pelosi’s Capitol Police Force growing worries you …. You might support NH independence from DC. 
34. If you would rather have your highway taxes spent on highways … You might be a NHexiter.
35. Do you think that Facebook and Twitter are too powerful and too damaging to liberty? Federal law grants them effective immunity from lawsuits while also granting them the power to manipulate content. They get to act as both a publisher and a platform, whichever suits them at the moment. 
36. If you support sound, free-market money like gold and silver (and crypto) ….You already support NHexit. It’s only a matter of time before the feds ban them.
37. If you are afraid that Donald Trump might become President again …. You just might be a NHexiter.
38. If you are afraid that Kamala Harris might become President…. You just might be a NHexiter.
39. If you think that Title IX is a major reason that free speech and due process in colleges were destroyed, you support NHexit.
40. If you believe that boys should not have a free pass to the girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers, you support NH independence. 
41. If you can’t count the billions of federal laws….you might support independence.
42. The FDA hurts and kills patients by stifling innovation and preventing people from using medications until the FDA spends decades of time and billions of dollars approving them.
43. Cutting ties with DC would immediately and drastically cut prices and improve the availability of drugs like epinephrine, insulin, loperamide, and many others. 
44. DC politicians use the federal department of education to brainwash your children to hate freedom. Once we are independent, that goes away.
45. The federal government believes that showing online ads to specific cohorts is a crime.
46. If you are not comfortable with the REAL ID becoming a dystopian federal identification card, you might be an NHexit supporter.  
47. Support in Congress for a magazine ban is getting very close to a majority. In a few years, your magazines will be federally illegal. 
48. Once HR127 passes Congress, every firearm will be effectively illegal. Hope you’re ready to turn in your guns to the feds! You are a patriot and not a criminal, so you’d never violate federal law, right? 
49. It is very likely that Congress (or federal regulators) ban armor plates for all civilians very soon. Hope you’re ready to turn in your plates!
50. Even the best ‘conservatives’ in DC are working with Bloomberg to take away your guns.
51. Technically speaking…the federal government should not exist anymore. 
52. Federal judges have ruled that police have no legal obligation to protect you. 
53. The federal government thinks it can take your property by force, as long as it plans to use the property for anything that could benefit the government, including giving your property to companies like Pfizer. Without DC, states and localities have no power of eminent domain (AKA theft of property).
54. Federal politicians from Biden to McConnell and everyone in between consistently sell us out to oligarchs like Putin and Xi to enrich themselves. 
55. We can’t take power back from Congress, even with a Convention of States.
56. The DC politicians incentivize single motherhood and discourage employment. 
57. If you don’t believe that global warming is the biggest threat to our lives, you should not be in the same union as DC, the federal government, and the other states. 
58. If you don’t appreciate being spied on by the NSA and other creepy DC agents and politicians, you should consider divorcing them. 
59. If you don’t want to support the Taliban by providing them with money and military weapons and helicopters, you should leave the union and stop paying federal taxes. 
60. The federal government considers people guilty until proven innocent – the opposite of how it was supposed to be. Peaceful protesters have been receiving punishments in prison for months despite never being convicted. If you support due process, you support NHexit.
61. The federal TSA regularly violates our natural rights, despite literally missing 95% of actual threats. 
62. DC politicians maintain a horrifically managed ‘no-fly list’, which mistakenly puts many people (including babies) onto the list, preventing them from flying. It’s also nearly impossible to get off of the list. 
63. Conservatives from Candace Owens to Matt Walsh have spoken in support of state independence from DC. 
64. Federal government leaders believe that if you don’t wear all the masks they recommend and if you don’t get all of the vaccines they recommend, you are just like the Taliban suicide bombers. 
65. DC politicians prohibit beneficial pipelines that would have been amazing for our national security and economy while simultaneously supporting pipelines for nations that are hostile to us. 
66. Who is arming the violent Mexican drug cartels? Federal agents from DC!
67. The federal government has kidnapped innocent Japanese people and put them in concentration camps. New Hampshire has never done that. And they couldn’t ever do that. Because we all have lots of guns. 
68. The US government banned firearms and ammunition from Russia. New Hampshire would never do that.
69. The US government puts many kids in cages at the border. New Hampshire would handle immigration in a much more sensible and humane way. 
70. Things will literally never change for the better. Even with Trump in the White House and Republicans controlling Congress and the SCOTUS, freedom only diminished and tyranny continued to grow.
71. New Hampshire citizens are the hardest workers and earn the most money, which is demonstrated by our continent-leading median household income. We don’t need DC politicians to be wealthy.
72. New Hampshire is the freest state. Nearly all of our issues are caused by federal laws. Once we are independent, we will be almost 100% free to live as we please!
73. New Hampshire is the safest state. We don’t need DC or other states bringing violence to our peaceful paradise. 
74. Half of the people in the united states believe that Biden was legitimately elected and that Republicans are all traitors, while the other half believes that Biden lost the election and progressives are traitors. How could one country be united if its people hate each other so much? 
75. The DC politicians now feel so entitled to infinite power that they essentially ban medications that could help treat COVID, such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. 
76. DC politicians are so arrogant that they no longer feel the need to pass legislation in Congress; they now use executive orders to pass new laws, including the most recent one forcing all private companies in the united states with over 100 employees to vaccinate their employees or test them for COVID weekly. This will affect 80 million employees. If you don’t want DC sociopaths coming between you and your employer (or you and your doctor), you support independence. 
77. When conservative states began having success treating COVID with monoclonal antibodies Biden and DC politicians began to BLOCK the life-saving treatments from getting to pro-freedom anti-Biden states like Alabama and Florida, potentially causing people to die.
78. DC politicians have made it clear that they will continue to prioritize foreign nationals and illegal immigrants over American citizens like you and me.
79. On the other hand, DC politicians have made it very clear that Cuban immigrants are not welcome here (because they tend to vote for freedom and against communism). 
80. The Biden IRS is now going to monitor every bank account with over $600 in it so that they can tax all people who make any money in any way. Those who receive more than $600 in PayPal transactions in a year will also be subject to taxation, according to experts. Peaceful separation solves this IRS issue because the IRS would no longer have any jurisdiction over us. 
81. When NH adopted federal food laws, it made selling mushrooms illegal, among many other prohibitions. Now, the only way to make it legal for anyone in NH to sell mushrooms is to create more regulation requiring ‘licenses’, which is somewhat counterproductive. The only other way to make mushrooms legal in NH would be to sever ties with DC. 
82. Dictator Biden nominated an actual Soviet communist to be the comptroller of the currency. If you don’t want your country’s financial system to be run by an avowed communist, you support separation from DC.  
83. On 10/8/21, the preliminary deal on a GLOBAL tax on businesses was officially agreed to. A total of 136 countries have signed onto the measure, guaranteeing that they will work together to stomp out businesses seeking to evade taxes by implementing at least a 15% tax on them, no matter where they come from. Once New Hampshire becomes a self-governing state, its low (or absent) tax on business could attract so much business to the state that it could cause the biggest economic boom in world history. 
84. Dictator Biden’s OSHA implemented a vaccine mandate for nearly every worker in the united states. It is extremely unlikely that an individual could beat this in federal courts or via federal legislation. Separating from the union is actually the more practical way to nullify this mandate. 
85. A federal law to require all new cars to have passive drunk-driving monitoring technology is about to go into effect, making all cars in the united states more expensive and much more intrusive. The law does not specify, but the new technology may be tantamount to perpetual breathalyzers and/or eye monitoring in every car. 
86. The medical system and all medical institutions in the united states are becoming increasingly racist towards whites, and it all starts with DC politicians. 
87. The Supreme Court is composed of 9 judges. The SCOTUS is perhaps the most powerful entity in the united states now. These nine judges are either evil or mentally retarded. They certainly do not believe in freedom. Is that who you want to be ruled by?
88. The US House of Representatives passed legislation that would take over control of elections, taking the power that always resided with the states and granting it to DC politicians. Among the many measures in the legislative package was a law that prohibited any election in the united states from requiring ID in order to vote. New Hampshire citizens who would like to retain their voter ID law must either support secession or give up voter ID forever once this federal law passes. 
89. DC politicians just passed a law mandating that all vehicles made after 2026 be equipped with perpetual monitoring systems to detect ‘impaired driving’. The vehicles must also have ‘kill switches’ that allow cops to turn them off at any moment. If you don’t like this policy, secession is the only solution. 
90. In the summer of 2022, federal government will begin to require facial recognition/uploading pictures of your face in order to access tax/ documents on the IRS website.
91. The President announced that the next US Supreme Court Judge he nominates will be a black woman. Upon joining the court, she will likely hear a massively important case involving ‘affirmative action’.
92. DC politicians are literally stealing our organs. In 2021, a policy change at UNOS essentially caused nearly all organs from donors in New Hampshire to be sent to NYC, CT, and MA, harming New Hampshire’s patients who desperately need organs to live. DC is viciously fighting NH legislation that would allow Granite Staters to state their preference that their neighbors be granted priority over foreigners if they pass away with viable organs. 
93. The brilliant experts in DC are using $30,000,000 in taxpayer funds to give out drug paraphernalia, including crack pipes, to drug users. The statement from the DC politicians specifically mentioned that they are being distributed primarily to minorities and that they are to be used for illegal drugs. 
94. Our Lords in DC believe that they must force New Hampshire to build more housing projects so that our state could look more like the Bronx.  
95. Our brilliant Lords in DC are destroying our savings and devaluing our salaries by printing so much money that annual inflation is now at a frightening 9.1% annual rate.
96. DC politicians have been forcing you and me to pay for dangerous bioweapons labs in Ukraine for years. 
97. Your federal tax dollars are being used to pay Tik Tok influencers to create and promote propaganda approved by Dictator Biden. If you don’t want to be forced to fund such endeavors, you may want to consider secession. 
98. If you don’t enjoy paying $6 billion for the annual NIAID budget doled out by Anthony Fauci to fund foreign bioweapons labs and development and approval of ludicrously expensive patented pharmaceuticals and suppress use of cheap off-patent drug, you should consider supporting a vote of NH residents to leave the union.
99. The federal government violates free speech in numerous ways. Leaving their jurisdiction solves these issues and restores freedom of speech, expression, press, association, and worship.
