As an education researcher, I see Republican Governors fall for education fads pushed by education reformers all the time. Competency-based Education is one of those fads in New Hampshire that does nothing to improve the quality of education in our public schools.

When private schools reject these fads, there is a reason for that. If these fads were so great, homeschoolers and private schools would already be incorporating them into their school day.

Governor Doug Burgum is supposed to be on the short list of Vice President choices by Trump. This would be an enormous mistake because of what he did in North Dakota. Read about that here.

During Obama’s presidency, he said he was going to redesign public education. Most people probably missed that but those of us who know what this means, were not pleased. He was going to redesign public education into a workforce training model.

The workforce model is the dumbing down of public education which started with the Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards. After 14 years of this nonsense, our students still cannot compete with students in high-performing countries. But maybe academic excellence wasn’t the goal of  Bill Gates, and the other education reformers.

Federal law (Every Student Succeeds Act) pushes more technology on students in the classroom. Where has this helped improve academic outcomes?  It does profit the technology industry. Not only does the Ed Technology Industry benefit from the sales of its products, they are also able to data mine information on your children through the software.

If you look at the privacy policies attached to the Ed Tech Vendors, they are NOT private. It is true that Ed Tech Vendors follow the student privacy law, FERPA, but that law now has a LARGE gaping loophole in it. Schools are required to keep personal information private but there are now “exceptions” in the law. This makes it easier for tech companies and others on that list, to access your child’s personal information. The Federal Government is already set up to collect massive amounts of personal data on your children.

What does this have to do with Governor Burgum? Answer: He’s facilitating all of this in his state of North Dakota.

In a blog post from 2018, They’ve got trouble, up there in North Dakota, it goes through Burgum’s education policies while serving as Governor. It’s important to note that Burgum was elected with the financial assistance of Bill Gates:

A self-styled outsider candidate, Burgum won the governorship in 2016, with financial backing from Bill Gates, his largest campaign contributor.

Why would Gates put so much money into Burgum to serve as Governor? The same Gates who was working with disgraced Governor Cuomo to implement his workforce model in New York? The same financier of the failed, and dumbed down Common Core Standards?

In this article, you can see how Gov. Cuomo was working hand in hand with Gates’ to shift public education towards technology. Gov. Cuomo was implementing “Education Reimagined,” Which is the blueprint that Gates would like to implement in all local schools.

This blueprint would eliminate teachers who would be replaced by facilitators.  That shift has already started because this pedagogy is pushed in our Schools of Education, and many grant organizations require it. You can see that on page 10 in the column “role of adults.”  Some might think this is a good idea but there are many reasons why we should avoid this.

As technology replaces a teacher in the classroom, more information directed at children will come from their digital device. Parents already have a disadvantage by not being able to examine textbooks. What are their children learning? Screen time has become a bigger issue that concerns many parents. How do they take away the device in the evening if this is how they have to do their homework? It’s used as a way for students to cyber bully, and share naked photos of each other. Digitalized books are available through the school library APP that includes pornographic and obscene content.

You might be surprised to find out that the heads of the two largest teachers’ unions in the country signed on to Education Reimagined. Go to the last page and you will see signatures from Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers, and Lily Eskelsen, President of the National Education Association.  Most teachers have no idea that their union representation signed on to making the teaching profession obsolete.  These were the same people who fought to keep public schools closed during the pandemic. It makes you wonder why they were so eager to close public schools and send kids to the YMCA with a facilitator. Oh wait, that’s in the plan!

I suggest reading through this article on Burgum. Everything he did in North Dakota appears to follow the Gates education agenda. They even admit in the short video that this is an experiment on your children.

When I began researching education over two decades ago, everything led back to money. Who will profit from these changes and fads? This isn’t about what’s good for children. It’s about how much profit these vendors will make off of your child.  What will the federal government do with all of this information on your children, especially since they can now share that data with the U.S. Department of Labor and other agencies?

Technology is a good thing, but that can be taught in a separate class. Right now, the 1:1 Chromebooks and iPads are creating new problems for students. No one is willing to discuss any of this. Old computers are causing an enormous amount of waste for landfills, and are costly to maintain and replace.

Bill Gates got Common Core WRONG. But did he? If he never intended to improve public education but instead dumbed it down for workforce training, then he is right on target. Common Core was adopted in New Hampshire in 2010. You can see on the national assessment NAEP, there has been no improvement in public education. This was a big failed experiment on your kids.

 

Screenshot

Instead of learning from this mistake, they are doubling down. If Burgum becomes Vice President, it looks like Gates’ investment in him will really pay off—not for your children.

I have the pleasure of being involved with The Dinner Table and their petition initiative for a Voter ID law in Maine. I have had a lifetime career in sales management and team activity. The organization and teamwork that I have seen over the last few months are nothing short of remarkable. Maine Representative Laurel Libby and Alex Titcomb are the creators of The Dinner Table, and they brought in a dynamo, Lana Hall, to coordinate the volunteers and activities. It is a fantastic team, and they are in complete sync. They stress the positive aspects of everything they do.

What is The Dinner Table all about? The Dinner Table (TDT) is a member-based, grassroots political action committee dedicated to advancing limited government, free enterprise, personal responsibility, and individual liberty. Our mission is to achieve a Conservative Majority in the State House of Representatives. The name is derived from a quote by one of the greatest conservative presidents in our lifetime, Ronald Reagan, who said: “All Great Change in America begins at The Dinner Table.” In Maine, we love to sit around the table and solve the world’s problems.

Two of the issues that are key to TDT, and the team has worked tirelessly to impact the future of these issues in The Pine Tree State, are Late-Term Abortion Bills and Voter ID. Members of the team spent countless hours at the statehouse during deliberations on the most liberal abortion laws in America, and although the outcome was not what we wanted and prayed for, we will continue the fight to see abortions at the time of birth happen no longer in Maine. Voter ID for ME is the current focus of TDT, as we have a big day coming up next Tuesday. June 11 is Primary Election Day in Maine, and an army of volunteers will be manning every polling station in Maine to request voters to sign our Voter ID petition. The petition aims to get Voter ID on the ballot, where the people can use their vote to decide its merits. The Maine legislature has repeatedly refused to act and strengthen our elections via legislation like Voter ID. Still, we have recourse provided through our First Amendment right to petition our government. We, the citizens, can do what the legislature will not and take the question directly to Maine voters at the ballot box!

This movement is not about preventing irregularities in the election process but to add credibility to my vote. For years, I have been offering my Driver’s License voluntarily when I vote because I am proud to be a citizen, realize that voting rights are unique to citizens, and ensure the concept of one person, one vote.

At The Dinner Table, we are about protecting and preserving our Rights, which are detailed and guaranteed in our Constitution. Requiring an approved ID when you pick up your early voting ballot or go to the polls on Election Day adds credibility to the voting process. We all need to feel confident in the outcome of our elections, and Voter ID is a step in that process.

When you visit the polls in Maine on Tuesday to cast your vote, look for our volunteer wearing a t-shirt with the Voter ID for ME logo, sign the petition, and feel good knowing you are taking action to ensure the legitimacy of Maine’s elections.

Every June, we learn things we didn’t want to know about businesses to whom we regularly give our customs—bastions of what we assumed to be common sense and Christian values or – at the very least – sensibly neutral enough to avoid divisive political fads. Just sell your wares and stay out of crazy town.

Only to find, Bam! Someone at corporate took them down the #woke road, and no one had the spine or balls to say no.

It’s time to expose Tractor Supply.

It’s one of the most beloved brands in by conservatives but what do they REALLY stand for under CEO @hallawton’s leadership?

• LGBTQIA+ training for employees
• Funding pride/drag events
• They have a DEI Council
• Funding sex changes… pic.twitter.com/F4tvNmNZ9f

Read the whole thing, including the suggestions for how to proceed in the wake of this disappointing news.

• Don’t take it out on your local store — the vast majority of them are conservative and hate that corporate is pushing this on them.

• Email/Call corporate to respectfully state your position as a customer after learning this information. Let them know where you stand. Here’s their corporate office number that’s listed publicly: (615) 440-4600 — here is their executive team if you’d like to write them or leave them a message at the corporate number. Again, please be respectful: https://ir.tractorsupply.com/investor-relations/governance/executive-management/default.aspx — If anyone has more info on contacting them at publicly available emails, please reply in the comments but no doxxing private info, it violates X rules and it’s not right.

• Start buying what you can from other places until Tractor Supply makes REAL changes and shows that they respect the majority of their customers enough to not spend the money we give them on causes we’re deeply opposed to. As someone with a farm, I know this isn’t easy but if we don’t show them who their customers are then they’ll just keep doing this.

Lastly I want to thank those who’ve reached out to me in distress about the direction of the company. This post is for all the workers who wish they could speak out but fear losing their jobs.

As always, be nice. Threats and insults are not well-suited to the goal unless it is to get them to ignore your concerns—a tactic that applies universally when we’re trying to persuade. Don’t be the guy or gal they are talking about when they say they’ve gotten threats.

You can still be outraged and polite about it.

I hope your Memorial Day Celebrations were filled with honor and respect for our fallen warriors. May we never forget the millions of men and women who have given their lives so that we may enjoy our freedom today.

Let’s continue with a look at some of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Studying the lives of these men will hopefully quicken in our hearts the love of the history of our country and the price they paid to create it.

Charles Carroll was one of the wealthiest signers of the Declaration of Independence and the only Catholic involved in its signing.

His father, Charles Carroll, also known as Charles Carroll the Settler, was from Ireland and migrated to America near Baltimore around 1659. He became prominent in the earliest stages of the city’s growth and purchased a large plantation. He served under Lord Baltimore as a judge and land office register. His son Charles Carroll was involved in the Political structuring of the new-found Nation.

He served on various committees for the cause of freedom but was not allowed to hold public office because he was Catholic.

He was famous for a series of articles he published in The First Citizen, decrying the abuse of the Governor of Maryland at the time. From this series of articles, he was labeled “a most flaming patriot.”

He is quoted as saying, “Without morals, a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying Christian religion (whose morality is so sublime and pure)…are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments.”

He missed the actual vote for the Declaration of Independence on July 2, 1776, but arrived ten days later to take his seat in Congress. On July 19th, Congress adopted a resolution to write the Declaration on parchment with attached signatures. This was a most serious step, for if they lost the war, they would lose everything, including their lives. Carroll was a millionaire, and this was a huge step for him and his family.

When signing he was questioned by John Hancock since he signed it Charles Carroll. Hancock noted that. “we could not tell which Charles Carroll is signing it” because he had the same name as his father. Charles took the pen again and finished it with the words “of Carrollton,” the name of his estate in Maryland.

He was the longest-living signer, dying at the great age of 96 on November 14th, 1832.

Until next time…

Trump ally Steve Bannon is headed to prison … quite conveniently for the BidenX-Regime at the height of campaign season. So he has been silenced. As Donald Trump will be silenced in July when “Judge” Merchan “sentences” him for all those “felonies” … effectively ending his campaign for President. It may be prison; it may be some type of house-arrest … but it’s coming.

How did we get here? A big part of the reason is that since January, 2021 the BidenX-Regime has been conducting political-prosecutions of its political enemies … and the Right (for the most part) has just, at best, SAT ON ITS ASS and done nothing. But just keep telling yourselves … IT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE! THEY WOULDN’T DARE! WE HAVE THE GUNS! Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

“What is the most important thing that GraniteGrok has brought to NH”?

So, at Groktober Fest held last October, I got Jeff Chidester, Carla Gericke, and Jim Kofalt to answer that question. I also added a couple more folks. Here is Mike Rogers’s answer to that question. In his typical British brevity, he got right to the point and gave a minimalist response:

• “Reporting, opinion, event coverage, and Constitutional Government and the less, the better!“

Ah yes, the engineer’s definition of excellence – a sufficient number of words to get the job done but no more than what is required.  Less is better and Mike got it right.

As I said in the video, if anyone knows what GraniteGrok is about, Mike should know being Grokster #3 or #4 – about 16 years of time.

And with having passed the baton to Steve, I know that the ‘Grok will stay true to that quote as its mission. He also got his second point absolutely correct:

Fundraise so that Steve can lead GraniteGrok and become our first full-time paid person (as I went into semi-retirement mode – family medical issues).

I hope that, over the next 18 years, we will continue to uphold his words. As I have said before, who else is doing what we do (and what comes naturally)? Many have tried in the past, and we have outlasted them all (and some were very well financed, to boot); it shows what ordinary people can do when motivated to do so over the long haul.

Again, as a reminder, I announced my semi-retirement from GraniteGrok due to the heightened needs of my family. And yes, again, I was surprised as the words came out of my mouth (surprising to me – I didn’t even know I was going to do it!) from the ‘Grok I had founded 18 years ago due to family issues that HAD to take priority. And in doing so, I turned everything over to Steve, knowing that it would be in the best of hands – I was not disappointed.

Sidenote: And that is the reason why I am taking this opportunity to ask you to donate to GraniteGrok. We are all volunteers, but with Steve’s full-time job gone away, this is the opportunity to keep him and all the time he puts in with his wit, wisdom, and dry humor full-time in a paying position. We were lucky with his old job – nooks and crannies of time always showed up, and he spent it spinning up post after post. However, if he has to look for another full-time job, there’s no guarantee that he’d have the same amount of time for you all to enjoy.

So now that things have calmed down, I can resume making a political PIA of myself to those that need it (yes, a warning). So I’m continuing to put up some of the “Groktober” videos and the interview I did with Ken Eyring and Tom Murray.

One left to do!

The Trump conviction; so many due process and constitutional issues were involved; would federal courts touch the case before State appeals are exhausted? The panel agrees that Trump will likely be taken to jail at sentencing on 7/11 or alternately sentencing may be postponed; should Trump go home to Florida and dare them to take him back to NY? What are the odds of getting SCOTUS to intervene early in the process? Will Biden be replaced? Could American “stumble” into a war? The Fauci hearings and his admitting to so many lies.

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. 
100. The federal government is increasingly racist. Most recently, Dictator Biden nominated a black woman to be a judge on the highest court because of her gender and skin color. Ironically, she will likely soon be ruling on an affirmative action case.
