I have spent three years in the Nashua South civil court addressing records disputes with the City of Nashua. During this time, I’ve gained experience formulating an opinion on the impartiality of the Nashua judges in hearing cases brought against Cities.

Another Nashua citizen filed a right-to-know petition against the Town of Conway in June 2023 for failing to provide records.

Judge Temple handled the case, and the Town of Conway filed a motion to dismiss. The Court dismissed several claims, but others remained to be heard in a merits hearing. On July 12, 2023, the Town of Conway filed a motion to award attorney fees. It was a puzzling motion as the Judge had yet to hear the case’s merits, and the standard for awarding attorney’s fees is very high. How do you win fees without hearing the case?

When Judges go on vacation, the other Judge will issue orders on motions, objections, or responses to keep the case moving. At the end of July 2023, Judge Temple was on vacation, so on July 25, Judge Colburn ruled on the motion to award attorney fees. Judge Colburn ruled to grant the Town of Conway’s request for the Citizen to pay $675 in legal fees to Conway. It was a frightening ruling for citizens working hard to access public records, especially since this Judge had just issued an order on July 7, 2023, claiming I was acting as an attorney and actions could be taken against me. Without a fair hearing, she slammed the Citizen with fees.

This action created more filings and another hearing, during which the pro se citizen presented to Judge Temple that it was unfair and improper to impose fees on a plaintiff when the Court had not held a merits hearing. On September 8, 2023, Judge Temple reversed the Court’s order and ruled that fees would only be determined once the case is heard. The case remains open and is awaiting a merits hearing. Judges have a duty, according to “cannons,” to respect the inexperience of pro se litigants and help them understand the legal process (not the law), but Nashua judges do not do this.

It is concerning that a judge ruling on behalf of another judge’s case did not read the short case file to educate herself on the case. Was this the result of an overworked Judge or a deliberate action to smackdown the pro se litigants seeking records? The standard for awarding attorneys’ fees in RTK cases requires proof of bad faith, vexatious, or frivolous actions. The awarding of fees is rare.

Judge Colburn’s order firmly told pro-se litigants to get out of the Nashua court system. The Nashua Court will not process records petitions per the law and rule fairly and impartially.

Our two civil judges in Nashua, Judge Colburn and Judge Temple, specialize in drug court and criminal matters. Their strengths and interest in other civil matters aren’t there, and drugs and violent crimes will trump records matters every time. Undoubtedly, it is difficult for judges to be “jack of all trades” adjudicators skilled in every area of law. To compound this matter, our 400-member House of Representatives creates a vast amount of legislation each year. Judges must stay on top of these new laws and prepare for legal challenges that can require writing new case law.

Nashua is ready for more judges willing to address civil matters with the weight and priority they deserve. Given the state of this country and the significant lack of media coverage for local governments, the court system should recognize the public’s heightened awareness of governmental accountability. We need the Courts to share our public record interests, as our NH Constitution specifically recognizes, and permit us to challenge the open, accessible, accountable, and responsiveness to access our public records. We are not vexatious, frivolous, or bad-faith citizens out to create burdens or harm anyone. We are citizens engaged and vested in our communities and our civic duties.

Although our state is probably the best place to live in the US, and although it is the safest and most respectful of Second Amendment rights of all the states, there are still some things that could be done to improve New Hampshire for all.

So, please consider the following suggestions (in effect, a wish list) in what some might consider an appropriate order (apologies in advance for the length of this piece):

#1- Eliminate same-day registration to vote.
The present laws allowing same-day registration to vote in our elections are invitations to fraud and abuse of the electoral process.

The argument against elimination of same-day registration is that our state will have to comply with the federal Motor Voter Law if we no longer allow same-day registration. So what!

This writer moved to NH from a state that never had same-day registration and was subject to the federal Motor Voter law since its inception, he worked extensively on ballot integrity matters in that state’s most populous county for many years- and found that compliance with Motor Voter was actually no big deal.

Which is worse, Motor Voter compliance or allowing throngs to register on the day of elections without effective policing as to whether they should be allowed to vote in our elections?

New Hampshire elections should be determined by voters who are bona fide New Hampshire residents.

This change can be accomplished by a statute adopted by the General Court and signed into law by the Governor.

#2- Eliminate college student voting.
At present anyone attending college in our state has, by state statute, the right to vote here, even if they are not bona fide residents of New Hampshire.

Anyone attending college in our state should vote in the locale from which they came to school, whether it be a town or city in New Hampshire or another state.

So, if you go to college at Dartmouth and have an apartment or dorm room there but you are actually from Massachusetts, you should vote absentee in Massachusetts. Likewise, if you are from Plymouth, NH, but attend Dartmouth, you should vote absentee in the Plymouth elections, not in the elections held in the Dartmouth area.

New Hampshire elections, including local elections, should be determined by voters who are bona fide New Hampshire residents from the locale in which an election is held.

This change can be accomplished by a statute adopted by the General Court and signed into law by the Governor.

#3 Eliminate the ability of voters registered as “undeclared” to select, receive, and vote a ballot of a political party in a party primary.

Candidates selected to run in a general election through the party primary process should be elected by voters who are actually members of the relevant political party, and not by “instant” members of a party they choose on election day at the polls.

Although political party registration is self-selected- i.e., there is no loyalty oath or blood test to determine who is really affiliated with the party in which they choose to register, in order to be allowed to vote in the candidate selection process of a party, the least we should expect is that those voting in that process have registered as members of that party. And prior to election day.

This would not require a constitutional amendment- only legislation passed by the General Court and signed into law by the Governor.

Why would not this be a simple, commonsense change to adopt?

#4- Prohibit personal taxes in our Constitution.
It does not take a genius to observe that politically our state is currently on a knife’s edge, especially in the NH House, where on any day the Dems could outnumber the Republicans and adopt their agenda, which includes new personal taxes.

Although the Senate is not as close, and although the Governor should serve as a “firewall” against such antics, the best way to protect our citizens once and for all in the future is by a constitutional amendment clearly prohibiting the taxation of personal incomes, personal capital gains, and any broad-based sales tax other than the existing tax on rooms & meals.

#5- Elect our Attorney General by popular vote.
Our attorney general is nominated by the Governor and must be confirmed by at least 3 of the 5 members of the Governor’s Executive Council. In other words, at present 4 individuals determine who will sit as the top law enforcement official in our state.

More than half of the states in the US elect their attorneys general by popular vote, but not New Hampshire.

Changing the existing process to a popular election would require an amendment to our state constitution, but it would probably be worth it.

It should be noted that even our Secretary of State, our state’s highest election official, is elected every two years by a vote of the 424 members of the General Court.

#6- Make our state court judges more accountable to the people.
Each of our state court judges is nominated by the Governor and must be confirmed by at least 3 of the 5 members of the Governor’s Executive Council. In other words, 4 individuals determine who will sit as one of our judges. And once confirmed, a judge serves until age 70 or until they retire or die before then.

Although there is a disciplinary process supposedly designed to deal with problem judges in our state, it is, in the opinion of many, a toothless tiger.

The only present way to remove a state court judge in our state is by the process of impeachment- articles of impeachment must be passed by the NH House and tried before the NH Senate. In the history of our state, only two such proceedings have even been initiated, neither of which resulted in the removal of the subject judge. In other words, impeachment is a hollow, ineffective remedy for New Hampshire.

It should be noted that all of our state representatives and senators, and our governor (and even our members of the federal congress), must stand for election every 2 years, so if any of them misbehave sufficiently, the people can simply vote them out of office. Not so with our judges.

A constitutional amendment could provide for the ability of citizens to gather sufficient signatures in a recall petition, and a recall election based upon the petition would be held. If a majority of the citizens vote for removal, the judge would be removed, and the vacancy must be filled.

This process has been used in wacky California for many years and has resulted in the removal of state supreme court justices as well as, incredibly, the state’s governor (this is how Arnold got to be governor).
Recall by such a process is a very high bar but it does work, and the existence of the process could serve a salutary effect on individuals serving as judges who might otherwise misbehave.

Query- if this is good enough for wacky California, why isn’t it good enough for New Hampshire?

#7- Purge Anti-Catholic bias from our state constitution.
In a couple of places in our state constitution there exist so-called Blaine Amendment language, which clearly originated in various parts of the country as expressions of anti-Catholic bias even after it was rejected by the US Congress many years ago.

In a state in which many Catholics from Canada migrated to the new state, and in which we now have a successful educational freedom account program, it is long past time to eliminate the Blaine Amendment language from the state constitution that purport to prohibit funding of religious schools.

#8- Eliminate an obsolete office from our constitution.
The state court reorganization several years ago eliminated substantially all duties of the office of Register of Probate, but we still have elections for that office in each of our counties every 2 years.

Thus, the Register of Probate in each county gets paid $100 a year but has no office, no desk, no staff and, essentially, no duties.

A constitutional amendment curing this issue was passed by the General Court a few years ago but did not achieve sufficient votes in the general election to become effective. It needs to be done once again with a better explanation for the voters.
_______________
Can any of this actually be accomplished?

Not without a solid majority of “real” Republican members of the House and Senate and occupying the Governor’s office.

Obviously, none of these suggestions would garner support from Dems and most RINOs.

The post Night Cap: Improving New Hampshire! appeared first on Granite Grok.

Admittedly, I have not kept my knowledge current on the efforts to create a paddling park on the Winnipesaukee River in recent years, but recent Grok coverage and attention from the NH Journal stirred some thoughts and memories.

I also wasn’t familiar with the current people in office.  In fact, all I knew was that Karen Testerman, who I voted for in the past 2 primaries in hope of removing the Damn Emperor, was an alderman for some time.

It might be helpful to offer some background that I hope will aid the reader in making sense of what I have to say, starting with my early days of whitewater paddling in the late 90s, when my senior peers were sounding the alarm on the Boat Tax.  D’Allesandro and Rep Goley, both from Manchester and well on their way to eternal swampdom, were sponsoring bills to require unmotorized vessels to be registered.  They were trying to shake down paddlers in an attempt to balance the F&G budget, and I always objected.

A fellow Nashua paddler, who supported my candidacy more than once, was one of my regular peers on the water, and we regularly carpooled to our favorite rivers, one of them being the Winnipesaukee.  During our cumulatively many miles and hours on the road, we would discuss a variety of things.  His father died not long after we met, and we were talking about my refusal to park in the pay parking or some raised cover charge to a popular event when he said, “My dad was a Scottish Presbyterian; you two would have made great friends had you met.”  I was dumbfounded and said, “I’m not in the habit of choosing friends for their religious views; why do you think that?”  He went on to say that his dad stubbornly did not believe in any unnecessary spending of money.  When he showed up to vote in the last city election, I told him I wanted to replace Alderman Dowd with some “Scottish Presbyterianism.”

So enough with that, even though I admit to having lots of Scottish ancestry, federal omnibus porked up bills are nothing new.  However, the Franklin Paddle Park is new.  I don’t paddle much these days, and I have to admit that I certainly don’t miss being in the company of lots of people with demented political views.  The fellow paddler I just referenced is ok, and I should say that for the record, just in case he reads this.  Considering the prevailing views of most paddlers I’ve associated with, I predict that Jeanne Shaheen will achieve sainthood in that community.

Sadly, most paddlers I know are in desperate need of a good therapeutic dose of Thomas Sowell.  I suggest the quote he makes about government quietly stealing your money and giving some of it back to you flamboyantly. Shaheen is a good poster child for that.

There are several people worthy of recognition for their Franklin & Winnipesaukee River activism.  Someone else can certainly write about them if so inspired, but I’m here to talk about funds, funding, and generosity.  Whether or not you, the reader, have ever paddled whitewater or even visited Franklin, I want you to recognize that Shaheen is no friend of paddlers or of Franklinites, or of Granite Staters. (see above comment on Thomas Sowell quote)  You will observe canonizing comments of her, especially in the next midterm, but I want you to know who the real hero is.  It’s Mr Grevior, the local furniture store owner.

In my earlier years of paddling the Winnipesaukee River, the takeout area near the bridge was a run-down Chinese restaurant that closed.  I met Mr Grevior, a river enthusiast and next-door business owner, while we were dropping off shuttle cars in the Chinese restaurant lot on a cold, drizzly spring day.  He was walking by with his dogs and he invited us to get dressed in his furniture store restroom.  Wow!  Think of big furniture showrooms.  His store was in a refurbished mill building with limited square feet of floor space.  I was floored, no pun intended, by his candid and generous offer because accepting it involved tracking in wet footprints and brushing by new furniture while wearing wet wetsuits and carrying wet apparel back out through the showroom.  He didn’t have a care in the world.  He later bought that Chinese restaurant lot and donated it for the creation of what’s presently known as Trestle View Park.

If anyone deserves praise from the paddling community and/or Franklin, it’s Mr Grevior, who has always been interested, generous, and thoughtful to the community, rather than a career politician and DC swamp rat that does nothing for NH beyond claiming its share of the federal pork.  You can show him and his family business some love if you or someone you know in the Franklin area wants new furniture.

And if you cross paths with Chuck Morse, suggest that he swing by and pat the family dogs.

Spruce would want that.

Schools have made pornographic images available to children in our schools in the school library. Sometimes, books are available to children in the school library or on the library App. Many of these books contain pornographic images.

This is considered a tool that sexual predators use in order to groom children in order to abuse them. From: Grooming, Know the Warning Signs: 

Desensitization to touch and discussion of sexual topics: Abusers will often start to touch a victim in ways that appear harmless, such as hugging, wrestling and tickling, and later escalate to increasingly more sexual contact, such as massages or showering together. Abusers may also show the victim pornography or discuss sexual topics with them, to introduce the idea of sexual contact.

So why is it ok for schools to provide this kind of obscene content to children in our public schools? That’s a good question. Many of our public schools now make these books available to children and actually defend this. Some parents have challenged these books, only to be told this is book banning. Well, it’s not book banning because that would mean no one could access the book. These books are still available to buy, and accessible by adults.

So why do public schools make pornographic books available to children, knowing that this is a way for predators to groom children?

Why are pornographic websites banned from their iPads at school? Why is one form of pornography ok for them, but another is not?

None of this makes any sense. You just need to know that this is now available for children to access in their school library or on their Sora App.

If these books are used as a way to groom a child in school by a predator, no one will take responsibility for that. They will all look at each other with a blank stare on their face if you confront them. No one will take responsibility for your child’s sexual abuse.

What can you do? Well the first question to ask is, how do you trust anyone in a school that thinks this is ok?
Then figure out how quickly you can remove your child from that environment.

So Annie Kuster is finally going to retire to her dacha (or perhaps dachas) … after spending over a decade voting to “transform” America into a dystopian hellhole of illegal aliens, open borders, late-term abortions, and forever wars.

The normal reaction from a Republican would be “good riddance,” “about time,” “don’t let the door hit you in your fat ass on the way out,” etc., etc., etc..

But the NHGOP is not normal. One of its “leaders” normalized the abnormal (the abnormal being Annie’s hard-left ideology) by thanking her for her service:

 

 

Sweeney obviously is deep in the throes of Stockholm Syndrome.

Aiding and abetting an illegal invasion of America, funding forever wars, and aborting eight and nine-month-old unborn babies is “service” in the alternative universe Sweeney inhabits.

But, in his defense, perhaps Sweeney has been too busy ramming apartment complexes (“workforce housing”) down our throats to pay attention to Annie’s voting record. Slava Ukraine! New Hampshire Advantage! Mask Up! Vax Up! Slava Ukraine!

With a constant stream of Hollywood end-of-the-world calamity blockbuster movies, Americans are generally distracted from the real-life disaster scenario that threatens us.  Growing dependency on processed foods, often shipped long distances via crammed distribution systems, has created a vulnerability to food supply disruption unparalleled in human history.

The Real Threat to Your Way of Life Unprecedented Dependency

The Southern sharecropper of a century ago generally possessed a healthier and more secure food supply than the vast majority of today’s urban denizens.  The sharecropper was essentially an indentured servant to the landowner, but he could produce a substantial amount of his own sustenance.  Most modern Westerners (especially Americans) may own land freely, but they are indentured servants to industrial food manufacturers and the phalanx of captured regulatory agencies that oversee food and agriculture.

We tend to suppress or dismiss alarms that the American food supply — for decades the global leader in technological and genetic advances in plants and livestock — could in fact be vulnerable to a seismic disruption.  Americans have come to take their food for granted, perhaps understandably: the average household food budget has long hovered at a mere 9% of income, and food choice diversity in products (including ethnic choices) has never been greater.

Yet there are fractures within this amazingly productive system: not everything produced is healthful for humans or ecosystems.  Economic and other trade-offs involved in the creation of this “Green Revolution” in agriculture and food distribution may be a devil’s bargain.  It is not the intention here to forecast doom, but to critically assess some profound and growing threats against which preventive measures might be employed.

Trapped in Suburbia?

The migration of rural Americans into cities for better pay and amenities over the last century or so has accompanied standards of comfort and plenty unimagined in the past.  City workers overflowed into suburbs, where more and more land was irrevocably withdrawn from local agricultural uses in favor of cheaper foods shipped from larger, more efficient, or more productive areas.  Indeed, much of Americans’ domestic produce is now grown in California and Arizona and then trucked or flown to points east and south — a very different demographic picture from 1924.

The trade-off for cheap food was consolidation and mechanization, which dramatically shifted the nation’s food production and distribution from the local and diverse to the massive and homogeneous. Much like Walmart and Applebee’s displaced Mom-and-Pop general stores and family restaurants, the consolidation of farming and food processing (including especially meats, an industry now tightly consolidated under the control of a handful of gargantuan corporate conglomerates) lowered prices but also choice. This rapid transition was made possible by technology fed a reliable diet of cheap fossil fuels to replace the historic labor of mule, horse, and human.

The resultant benefits of this conversion in agricultural infrastructure are obvious, though so too are numerous health problems.  But what is not readily apparent to most consumers is how vulnerable this seemingly miraculous system is to disruption or destruction.  Consider the weak links and the potential modern threats.

Food System Vulnerabilities

Many of the technological advances that have improved agricultural efficiency or yields carry accompanying novel risks.  Today, most food is transported long distances, including internationally, in container ships that clog a paltry handful of backed up ports, frantic to transfer goods onto a fleet of tractor-trailer trucks.

Tractor trailers, often refrigerated, are the chief means by which Americans get their goodies in plenty, whether from Amazon or Dollar General.  American roadways are congested with constant truck traffic, packed into overflowing truck stops and paused in breakdown lanes.  It is a fantastic feat of free-market capitalism.

But infrastructure has been poorly stewarded, especially of the nation’s bridges. Finding skilled drivers is a growing problem. The nation’s fleet of trucks is dependent on Taiwan for microchips and foreign sources (particularly China) for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), without which the trucks don’t budge.

Food System Threats

The shift to industrial agriculture has inflicted profound assaults on the nation’s precious underground water aquifers and its healthy soils.  Soils are eroding at alarming rates in many regions, while water draw-downs are not naturally replenished by winter snows or spring rains.  The San Joaquin Valley produces 25% of Americans’ food on 1% of the nation’s land, yet some sections of this fertile breadbasket had subsided some 28 feet by 1970 and now subside approximately a foot every year due to water withdrawals!  These long-term threats are far easier to demonstrate than climate change and are unaddressed by Chinese-manufactured solar panels or E.V.s.  A greater threat than these slow-moving crises may be potential sudden events (including a repeat on a far greater scale of the Great Flood of 1862).

The war in Ukraine impacted world grain supplies and prices.  The COVID pandemic was accompanied by unprecedented spikes in fertilizer prices that persist.  DEF supplies were at one point crucially threatened, and could be again.  Microchip shortages left thousands of trucks stranded or idle.  An expanding war in Ukraine, an incursion by China into Taiwan, an electromagnetic pulse (EMP), an oil crisis, or even a trade war with China could send ripples of supply disruptions around the globe almost overnight — including in the U.S.

America’s tumultuous social fabric is torn: extreme social unrest could close major highways.  The fiat dollar is weak and declining, aggravated by reckless money supply policies and weak regulatory oversight: hyperinflation, currency collapse, and an electronic government replacement currency looming over the nation and its fragile food distribution system.  The creepy crew at the WEF claim that the next great threat to the world is a cyber-attack.  How would the U.S. food supply system fare, given the myriad of potential vulnerabilities that scenario presents?  The WEF was almost prescient about the pandemic.  Will there be another of those, this time with a higher mortality rate and a more panicked run on grocery stores?

Globalization offers many cost savings and efficiencies but obscures unique threats.  A balanced domestic agricultural system requires small or medium-sized farms distributed throughout the rural landscape.  Having abandoned that interconnectedness in favor of the “big,” America is gambling big like no society in human history.  No people has ever been so divorced from its soil.

Support your local farmer, and keep your eye on that food birdie.  Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot all understood the colossal power of food to subjugate the masses.  Klaus Schwab and his ilk are not nobler.  The real reason European farmers are being undermined has little to do with carbon dioxide or nitrates.

Regarding the container ship Dali that lost power (twice) just before crashing into the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore.  This site has videos from several sources showing the ship made a last minute course change literally seconds before impact.  Given the course change, and the power going out (twice) just before impact, it certainly seems like a cyber attack set up to make the impact cause the most damage possible.  The bridge was a major artery for goods moving North-South on the Eastern seaboard, and the pieces of the bridge are now blocking access to the port, which was the 9th busiest port in America.  If this was a cyber attack, they sure got the bang for their buck:

A good article on the “new cars” (which are really rolling surveillance platforms), and how they won’t LET you go over the speed limit, or pass another car, or whatever.  You are no longer a “driver”, but an “observer”.  This started in 2017, and all new cars are getting it now (some system more “active” then others).  And as of 2025, all new cars are required to have a “kill switch” installed so law enforcement (or the government) can shut your car off if you don’t obey.   And once they have enough cars on the road “under control” (say 60% or more), how long before they pass a law requiring you to have a “monitoring device with a kill switch” installed in order to drive on public roads?  And pretty soon after that, ANY car that is not “government controllable” will be outlawed.

In fact, in the future, I predict you won’t even be able to BUY a car anymore, at best, you MAY be allowed to lease one (you’ll own nothing, and LIKE it, peasant).

For those who wish to get blood from “un-jabbed” donors, several sites are setting that up (because the Red Cross doesn’t care).  Full disclosure:  I’ve been giving blood since I was 18 (always through the Red Cross), and I’ve given over 10 gallons now (gotta love the Oreos…).  However, the last couple times I gave, I asked the Red Cross folks about unjabbed blood (I’m unjabbed), and they didn’t care.  So now I’m considering donating to one of these organizations:

If you like watching YouTube videos about subjects that may make government nervous (gorilla warfare, how to conceal your face from facial recognition, how to make maps from drone video, etc.), Google is now ratting you out to the Feds.  Better get a REALLY good VPN, and maybe route through TOR (although the Feds take a special interest in you if you start using TOR):

Right now, the Republicans hold a very slim majority in the US House (217-213).  However, Representative Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc) and Representative Ken Buck (R-Colo) have both “designed to resign” before their term is up, leaving April 19th.  If they left NOW, their districts could hold a special election before November.  And given that they both come from deep red districts, a special election would give the R’s a solid chance to put R’s back in those seats.  But by waiting until mid-April, there will not be enough time for the special election, and those seats will be vacant, while the Dems are busy with special elections to REPLACE the Dems in the positions they lost.  Why is this important?  Besides holding the majority in the House, the House members are who certifies elections.  If the Dems control the house, they could vote to NOT CERTIFY the 2024 election! Or vote to accept “alternate electors”, so that Slo-Joe “wins” even though he didn’t win.  Having these RINOs wait until mid-April to quit seems like another UniParty set-up to deny Trump the White House (assuming he wins).

The post Bill Hearings for Week of March 25, 2024 appeared first on NH Liberty Alliance.

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.
