NH House Bill 1022 would permit pharmacists to dispense the drug ivermectin by means of a standing order, making Ivermectin available to the public without a prescription. Last week, Tennessee passed a law similar to the one proposed in NH.

 

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed a bill on Apr. 22, 2022, allowing Ivermectin to be dispensed without a prescription. The new law states, “a pharmacist, in good faith, may provide Ivermectin to a patient who is eighteen (18) years of age or older pursuant to a valid collaborative pharmacy practice agreement containing a non-patient-specific prescriptive order and standardized procedures developed and executed by one (1) or more authorized prescribers.”

 

The New Hampshire bill has already passed the House, and a Senate Committee advanced it for a floor vote with a recommendation to pass the bill.

There are differences, but the result is the same. People who want Ivermectin can go and get it. And as with the Tennessee Bill, pharmacists are afforded protections except for obvious negligence.

 

“A pharmacist or prescriber involved in the provision of Ivermectin pursuant to this section is immune from civil liability in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct for actions authorized by this section.”

 

Most of the New Hampshire Bill outlines protections from liabilities for Doctors, Nurses, Nurse practitioners, and Pharmacists. HB1022 also allows a pharmacy to charge a fee for consultation but prohibits anyone in the food chain “from seeking personal financial benefit by participating in any incentive-based program or accepting any inducement that influences or encourages
therapeutic or product changes or the ordering of tests or services.”

You can listen to my interview with one of the prime sponsors of NH HB1022 here.

 

We’ve got several resources available to fight the disinformation coming from the left about Ivermectin.

• Dr. Paul Merik’s testimony before the NH House.
• “Ivermectin Story Here”
• “Ivermectin The Hidden Story, Here!”
• Peer-Reviewed: Ivermectin Resulted in a 67% Reduction in COVID Hospitalization and a 70% Reduction in COVID Mortality

The NH Bill is (I believe) due for a vote in the Republican majority State Senate next week.

Being a student is hard.

Studies are extensive, and money is tight. Things can get even worse if your laptop or computer dies without cause.

Assuming you have all of your work off it, you may need to start promptly looking for another laptop. This is easier said than done. Many students cannot afford to buy brand-new laptops, meaning it can be very limiting and hard to find what you need to succeed.

Here are some of the things you need to consider when buying a laptop for your studies.

First hand or refurbished?

Most students don’t have the means to go out and buy a brand-new laptop. So, you may be limited in what you have immediate access to.

For many, this will mean looking for a second-hand or refurbished option. If you do opt for a second-hand laptop, ask as many questions as you can about the machine. Ask to test it out or see a video demo of it in action. If you decide first hand is better, there are many affordable choices, such as Lenovo college laptops. Just make sure the machine you buy has what you need to perform your studies.

Studies

This leads on to this point.

If you are studying computer science, you are going to need something that is a bit more specialized, especially when compared to a standard laptop.

So, when buying a laptop, always ensure that it can do what you need it to. Otherwise, you may end up out of pocket for a machine that is, in essence, useless. Unsure where to begin when choosing a specialized machine? Ask your professors for advice. They will know what programs you need in order to complete the course. Alternatively, why not ask your classmates about the machines that they are using?

Cost

Money is always going to be a major factor when purchasing computers.

While it can be tempting to spend all of your student loans on a laptop, don’t!

Work out how much you can realistically spend on a machine without having to cut out meals etc.

This will ensure that your health and wellbeing are not affected due to this purchase. Buying second-hand can always be useful when you are looking to save money. But there are also many first-hand options that may be affordable too. As always, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is! So, keep your wits about you when handing over money for a laptop.

Battery life

It is one of the failings of many second-hand or refurbished machines. The battery life simply doesn’t last as long as it should. It is also one of the main reasons why machines are sold in the first place! You do not want to be tethered to the wall because your laptop cannot hold a charge. Always ask for a demo when purchasing a second-hand device, or ask for a video if it is being sent to you from a seller on sites like eBay.

When did leaders become so weak? When did it become okay to pass the buck rather than owning the moment and solving a problem? When did it become acceptable to lie when in front of Congress?

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas is glad that all of these acts are considered getting the job done.

I have written for a year and a half about the hapless staff that Joe Biden put together, but Mayorkas may be the cream of the crop. It is difficult to believe that these members of the Biden administration can collectively be so incompetent. The only other option is they are not incompetent but were assembled to dismantle this country. If the latter is the case, Mayorkas is the runaway MVP.

Mayorkas is responsible for destroying the Sovereignty of our country by eliminating the Southern Border. He has effectively made us a borderless geographical body of land open to anyone worldwide. All these “migrants,” as Mayorkas calls them, need to do is cross the Rio Grande, hop on a bus or plane, and be tNewaken to your destination of choice.

We have no idea where these people are from or their history or medical condition. That is not important to our current administration. They are transported under cover of night with the help of NGOs like the Catholic Church. The receiving city is rarely informed of the incoming new residents but is responsible for their well being. All 48 contiguous states are now border states.

Mayorkas is before Congress this week to testify on the conditions of the Border. Remember that neither Biden nor Harris have ever been to the Mexican Border. Mayorkas has visited multiple times. On his last visit, he faced angry comments from Border Guards, frustrated with his handling of the crisis. Mayorkas sees no crisis. In his mind, this unrelenting flow of migrants is under control. If that is the case, Mr. Secretary, please define chaos.

Mayorkas contends that this administration and his department inherited a broken system and that only Congress can solve it. If that is the case, what is his role, and why do we need a Department of Homeland Security? He does fit in perfectly with this finger-pointing team. Nothing is their fault, and it is always somebody else’s when they fail to correct it.

Mayorkas was grilled about Title 42. He favors the end of the program but again puts all responsibility on the CDC. The claim is that 42 was a health-related measure and did nothing to control the flow of illegal immigrants. Why does the administration project that the flow will double when 42 is stopped if that is the case?

This administration is a study in contradictions. They say things and then walk them back. They lie and then have the media support the lie. They accept no responsibility but pat themselves on the back when things go well, which is rare. To them, well is two million undocumented illegal aliens, enough fentanyl to kill us all, an untold number of terrorists and gang members, and don’t forget the illegal weapons. Maybe this is something Secretary Mayorkas will take credit for and then resign.

If you qualify as terminally ill (a definition that can change in a heartbeat – life is a terminal condition), Vermont has made it easier to obtain physician-assisted suicide drugs!

 

Listen on the Podcast Page

You can also listen on Spreaker, iHeart Radio, Spotify, or Google Podcasts.

 

S.74  “proposes to eliminate a requirement in Vermont’s patient choice at end of life laws that both oral requests required of the patient with a terminal condition for medication to be self-administered to hasten the patient’s death must have been made in the physical presence of the physician to whom the patient made the request.”

And so it has – passed by the legislature and signed by Gov. Scott (r), you can now use Zoom or any equivalent form of telemedicine to request drugs to end your life without ever meeting with the doctor prescribing death.

 

a) A physician shall not be subject to any civil or criminal liability or professional disciplinary action if the physician prescribes to a patient with a terminal condition medication to be self-administered for the purpose of hastening the patient’s death and the physician affirms by documenting in the patient’s medical record that all of the following occurred:

(1) The patient made an oral request to the physician in the physician’s physical presence or by telemedicine, …

 

There is a 15-day waiting period before the drugs get shipped, so you could, in theory, get a handgun sooner if you’re itching to be on your way (Vermont has not yet passed a proposed 30-day waiting period for handguns hiding inside S30 “An act relating to prohibiting possession of firearms within hospital buildings.”)

You are, of course, free to end your life by any other means, and I only bring up the handgun thing because people will say it’s an awful thing to write. Last I checked, chemically executing people in prison is a horrible thing, but in Vermont, you can Zoom Dr. Death and in about two weeks get the “drugs” necessary to “ease your passing.”

There are no protests or requests to the governor for a stay or call from a judge.

And it’s the same people on both sides of that issue. But if death by lethal injection is so bad, how about a zoom call from death row with a doctor, and boom, Get er Done!

Because, silly, Democrats like criminals more than you. And as far as they are concerned, felons are less of a burden than the terminally ill (especially after you let them out of jail). They are also useful. Criminals commit crimes, and you can shoot them in public when they wear out their usefulness. But before that, they destabilize the ordered, and predictable lives of a Middle-Class Progressives despise.

Comfort, when it comes to dying, is acceptable, but living? There’s no room in utopia for you to be comfortable.

That sort of Government can’t afford it. And, if they happen to have assisted suicide as an option, you might – one day – be ‘diagnosed’ with a terminal illness (by the same doctor who tried to kill you with a ventilator and Remdesivir) and encouraged to end their your suffering.

Heck, why wait? You can go to Oregon right now and die sooner. They passed suicide tourism just this year.

And not long from now, you’ll be able to Zoom or Skype or Facetime Oregon and get the death meds without traveling.

 

The assisted suicide lobby wants to approve out-of-state-assisted suicide requests via telehealth and to send the lethal drugs by mail to the out-of-state requestor.

 

Amazon Prime members get them in just two days!

If you think for one moment this isn’t going to happen and then become federal law, either by an act of congress or a Roe v. Wade like SCOTUS decision, you’ve not been paying enough attention.

They want it, and how hard has that been looking back for them to get what they want? Not very. There are a few bumps in the road here and there, a few years, delays, but it happens in the end.

I mean, technically, we already have this with the open border and rampant opioid overdose deaths. It’s government security policy assisted suicide. A few more words and only technically illegal – you have to get caught.

But imagine a government program run by eugenicists forever seeking ways to cull the masses. It will not only be poorly regulated but become an approved method of political assassination.

Can you see the smiles on the faces of the Clinton Crime Family and the FBI (if and where you can separate them)? No more accidents or messy “suicides.” From now on, anyone who knows anything and is a risk will become ill, get telemedicine, and kill themselves with dignity, and at this point, what difference does it make.

You know I’m right, but who’s prepared to step up and stop it before it gets that far? Better yet, who can?

I have two simple questions for our Congressional “Leaders.” Do you believe the lies that Secretary Mayorkas spewed today alleging that our southern border is secure?

And, do you support the President’s proposal to have US taxpayers fund an unlimited piggy bank for Ukraine?

Please keep in mind these FACTS:

Under this administration, millions of unvetted illegals, drugs, criminals, terrorists, trafficked adults, and children have broken into our country, with impunity.

We want to thank Michael Petruzziello for this Op-Ed.
Please direct yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

Under this administration, our border is no longer secure, and our sovereignty as a country is at risk.

Our GDP is declining, while congress continues to spend money we don’t have.

You refuse to complete the paid-for US border wall, but you are allocating unlimited funds to a foreign country, so they can defend their border and maintain their sovereignty.

You were not elected to open our borders to the world.

You were not elected to serve and protect the population of the world while bankrupting our country.

You were elected to serve and protect the American people, period.

Please, DO YOUR JOB!

Sincerely,

Michael Petruzziello
Major, USMC (Ret)

One of the many problems the Left has with the Elon Musk buyout of Twitter is its ability to control messaging on the Climate. Warming equals cooling, more snow, no snow, rain-drought, rising seas no one sees. It’s a lot of hard work.

The ideological filters pre-Musk allowed them to determine who was having influence and how best to limit that influence using Algore-rhythms, flags, tags, censorship, or even ex-communication.

If America had a social credit system Twitter would have been at the forefront of allocating smiley or frowny faces based on content, especially on the approved narratives for Climate Marxism. With that in danger, Twitter will likely become a national security threat.

Until then, last week was not a great week for the Climate Marxists (or Twitter) and Tony Heller from Real Climate Science has a roundup.

I am disappointed that GlaxoSmithKline is spending customer money to buy advertising on The ReidOut with Joy Reid on MSNBC.

The ReidOut host, sit in hosts and some contributors practice anti-white labeling that is offensive, racist, and likely inspires hate among some viewers of this show.

I am certain that your company would not support with its advertising dollars a white talk show host or white contributors making such false and offensive statements about black people.

Will GlaxoSmithKline continue to advertise on The ReidOut given its racist content?

Tennessee passed a law in March that requires students to participate in school sports based on sex, not gender identity. SB1861 creates a disincentive for schools to ignore that requirement.

 

SB 1861, which Gov. Lee signed Friday, mandates that the Tennessee education commissioner withhold “a portion of the state education finance funds” from school districts that do not determine a student athlete’s sex. The law doesn’t state the exact amount of funding that should be withheld from noncompliant districts.

 

Laws are funny things, and not just in Tennessee. For example, in New Hampshire, ignoring, subverting, or simply dragging out the right-to-know process is something municipalities love to do. Nashua, for example, is a leader in that sort of nonsense.

If it is a public record, and they don’t want you to have it despite the law, they are prepared to make you take them to court to get it. It deters many who can’t afford the legal costs and cannot represent themselves. The city gets to keep public documents secret and encourages them to keep hiding things.

In other words, absent a penalty or some punishment, politicians or bureaucrats can treat the law as if it does not exist.

Tennessee has read the stitches and is trying to get ahead of the fastball.

 

At least 14 other states have enacted laws in recent years to restrict male participation in female athletics, as gender-confused men increasingly dominate women’s sports at the high school, college, and professional levels.

 

It’s almost as if something triggered them all to save women’s sports. Now we need these other states to amp up their enforcement and disincentives and be joined by more states following their lead.

Is your state considering legislation to protect girls and women? Let us know in the comments.

In a new book titled “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future,” readers learn that the behind-the-scenes process for selecting Joe Biden’s vice-presidential candidate was fraught with disagreements, particularly over the selection of his eventual running mate.

To be fair, it’s not as if this is a huge surprise at this point. Anyone with a functioning brain can see that neither Joe nor Kamala have much use for the other. Joe sent her on a fool’s errand to clean up the border last summer – a border he has no interest in securing. What exactly was she supposed to do?

Then there were the cringe videos of the Obama visit a few weeks ago, and Kamala was so thoroughly implanted in the former president’s orbit that she couldn’t even be bothered to let her supposed boss in. Remember this?

As for the book itself, the two authors, both of the leftist New York Times – raising separate questions of the timing of this book’s release – captured quotes from the doctoral First Lady that clearly paint the relationship in a negative light. Fox News had early access to the soon-to-be-released book. They note:

“’There are millions of people in the United States,’ she began. ‘Why,’ she asked, ‘do we have to choose the one who attacked Joe,’” the authors wrote of a conversation Jill Biden had after she learned Harris became a leading candidate to serve as Biden’s running mate.”

I don’t agree with the doctor often, but on this topic, she is absolutely correct. Here is part of Jill’s problem with selecting Kamala Harris as veep, taken from one of the DNC debates. She absolutely tears into Senility Joe, capturing thunderous applause by the end of her attack:

 

 



 

“But I also believe – and it’s personal and…it was hurtful – to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States Senators who built their reputations and career [sic] on the segregation of race in this county. And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing.”

“But Vice President Biden, do you agree today that you were wrong to oppose busing in America?”

“That’s why we have the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act!”

Despite these reservations, Fox provides more context from the book:

“Several from Biden’s inner circle, however, supported Harris on the ticket. Ron Klain, now the White House chief of staff, had been tasked with vetting vice presidential candidates and, according to the book, told Biden early on that Harris was most qualified for the job as she had sought the presidency herself.

“Yes, Harris had attacked Biden more harshly than any other major candidate in the Democratic primaries. Yes, the Biden family had seen it as a smear and a betrayal. In Klain’s assessment, that would work to Biden’s advantage,” the book states. “Choosing Harris will show people that you are magnanimous and forgiving, Klain told Biden. It will show the country just what a unifying leader you can be.”

Apparently, Joe’s own issues were with the fact that Harris has a well-publicized past in sleeping her way to the top. The book writes about her “past romantic relationship” with former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown and Biden is quoted as saying this affair is “the kind of thing that should be off-limits.

Yikes.

Amazingly, here we are with Kamala Harris. It is worth asking the question again: Who is really running the country? Our sitting president didn’t even want his vice president, who failed to get more than 1% of the vote in primaries and dropped out of the race, and he got stuck with her anyway.

State Rep Mike Sylvia Committing Civil Disobedience in 2014

State representative Mike Sylvia of Belmont – the main sponsor of CACR 32, the historic NH Exit constitutional amendment – has spoken out via his blog on the subject of New Hampshire Independence. Written just days prior to the full house vote, Sylvia’s excellent piece is titled, “Sovereign State Or Branch Office of D.C. Inc.”  In it, he demolishes the arguments against secession.  You can read it here on his blog, but I have also pasted the text below to ensure it is not taken down if his site goes away at some point:

Sovereign State Or Branch Office of D.C. Inc.

In 1784 the people of New Hampshire formed a government, founded upon the sovereignty of the people. The people shared with that government a limited portion of their own sovereignty which was detailed in Part II of the New Hampshire constitution. Notably, the people retained to themselves rights which could not be infringed upon nor delegated to others. This is known as our New Hampshire Bill of Rights which make up Part I of our constitution.

The people of New Hampshire declared our State to be forever a sovereign state.

[Art.] 7. [State Sovereignty.] The people of this state have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent state; and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right, pertaining thereto, which is not, or may not hereafter be, by them expressly delegated to the United States of America in congress assembled.

In 1787 the Constitution for the United States was created. In 1791 the Bill of Rights was amended to the constitution. This included the 9th amendment;

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

And the 10th;

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Note how well those amendments fit with the preexisting NH Constitution Part I, Article 7, [State Sovereignty.] The people of this state have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent state; and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right, pertaining thereto, which is not, or may not hereafter be, by them expressly delegated to the United States of America in congress assembled.

In the majority report recommending that CACR32 be inexpedient to legislate three ill-conceived reasons are relied upon.

First, “Nowhere in our US Constitution does it allow the federal government to permit any state to secede.” If one reads and understands the 10th amendment to the US Constitution, one can clearly see that lacking the explicit delegation of the power to prevent secession means that secession is retained to the states or the people. The majority report is self-defeating and lacks any logic.

Second, the majority claims that the ‘perpetual union’ was then ‘perfected’ under the US Constitution therefore it must continue for eternity. An honest look at the historical facts will reveal that we no longer hold to the Articles of Confederation; clearly that union was not perpetual. In fact, one can consider the formation of a new government under the US Constitution to have been an act of revolution.

Lastly, the Civil War settled the question. This argument is the very simple and brutal ‘might makes right.’ This is a bit odd when balanced with the concept of a contract between states. If force is that which holds the union together then there is no state sovereignty. If sovereignty is held by D.C. Inc. one might be forced to consider whence that sovereignty came.

It is quite sad but predictable that a committee named State Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs would be so subservient to the powers of the National government which regards its founding document with such little concern.

With such weak arguements against the proposed amendment to our constitution, the author of the majority report felt the need to move beyond reporting on the bill into the realm of questioning the character of the sponsors. He demands that D.C. Inc. punish those whom question authoritarian rule from the swamp. He even goes as far as threatening those whom might dare to vote for such a proposal.

Still straying from the content of the amendment the writer implies that the General Court should punish those whom follow the State constitution and view the State as the sovereign state that it is.

Insecure in his failed reasoning, he resorts to threatening charges of rebellion for those whom might dare vote to send a constitutional amendment to the people of the state. He further implies that the NH House remove voting rights for presumed rebellion.

REBELLION: Deliberate, organized resistance, by force and arms, to the laws or operations of the government, committed by a subject.

I’m almost disappointed that he didn’t whip out the big one:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

Let me end with one more jewel from our Bill of Rights:

[Art.] 30. [Freedom of Speech.] The freedom of deliberation, speech, and debate, in either house of the legislature, is so essential to the rights of the people, that it cannot be the foundation of any action, complaint, or prosecution, in any other court or place whatsoever.

The authors of our founding documents knew tyranny all too well, if we open our eyes today, we can see it coming back around.

Open your eyes.

(The “Majority Report” from committee member Brodie Deshaies appears below:)

CACR 32, relating to independence. Providing that the state peaceably declares independence from the United States and proceeds as a sovereign nation. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE.
Rep. Brodie Deshaies for State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs. The committee believes that articles of secession are unconstitutional and therefore impossible. Any attempt to make NH a “sovereign nation” only purports to do so and is illegitimate. There are three main arguments the committee heard. The first legal argument why states cannot secede from the union is reasonably understandable. The federal government is the only legitimate power to admit new states and to extend or retract territorial boundaries. Nowhere in our US Constitution does it allow the federal government to permit any state to secede, let alone for any state to decide unilaterally. Our constitution is quite clear on this issue (see Article IV, Section 3). No state constitution has ever suggested that states hold this power. Constitutions are implicit contracts with citizens that grant governments specific powers. With no power explicitly given allowing secession, no state can ever secede. Another argument lies in the US Supreme Court decision in Texas v. White (1869). In the court’s majority decision, Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase explained that the union began during the Revolutionary War amongst the colonies. In his decision, he writes, the union “was confirmed and strengthened… and received definite form and character and sanction from the Articles of Confederation… [and] by these, the Union was solemnly declared to be perpetual.” Justice Chase then says that our current Constitution was “ordained to form a more perfect Union,” which intended to convey the idea of indissoluble unity….” Therefore, the union can never be dissolved. Our form of government and Constitution is predicated upon the union’s “perpetual” existence. Without this “perpetual” existence, we would be throwing away the union, and with it, the US Constitution. The last constitutional argument is straightforward. It does not matter whether or not secession is illegal. What matters is that the union beat the confederacy in the Civil War. Once this happened, the illegality of unilateral secession was de facto established. The legality of secession was answered at Appomattox Court House in 1865 with the conclusion of the Civil War. It also means the repercussions for attempting unilateral secession have been decided too. The federal government must punish states and their leaders who try to secede. Which leads us to another question: can state leaders introduce or vote for articles of secession? This is currently an open question and the NH General Court would decide the answer. Nonetheless, the 14th Amendment, Article III, is very clear: “No State Legislator shall engage in rebellion against the Constitution.” Voting for NH’s proposed articles of secession could be determined by the NH House as rebellion against the US Constitution. It could be casting a vote to rebel against the union and, therefore, the same constitution establishing the perpetual union. Voting for CACR32 is not voting for a referendum. NH does not have referendum. We encourage fellow lawmakers to reject NH’s articles of secession and protect constitutional government. Not only is CACR32 logistically and constitutionally impossible, but NH’s articles of secession may require enforcement of the 14th Amendment by the NH House.

It was a historic day as New Hampshire was the first state since the “Civil War” to have a house floor discussion about secession.  As reported on this blog previously, CACR 32 – the constitutional amendment that would have allowed NH voters to decide the question of declaring peaceful independence from the United States – was voted down 323-13 on Thursday.  Now you can watch video of the full discussion from the floor of Rep’s Hall:

Don’t miss this post at Free Keene which gathers together seventeen hysterical posts from SHOCKED democrats in response to the heroic thirteen state reps who voted to try to stop CACR 32 from being killed.

Cowardly State Reps Return to Reps Hall

Today was the big day, the first time ever that a bill relating to New Hampshire independence was heard by the full state house.  With over 330 of 400 reps in attendance, the historic proposed constitutional amendment was sadly shot down 323-13.  We didn’t expect to win the first time out, of course.  The point of CACR 32 was to get the conversation started.

No thanks however to multiple so-called “liberty reps” who put fear-based political concerns over principle and refused to back up the brave reps who sponsored this bill.  I was there greeting the reps this morning as they entered Reps’ Hall and I heard various excuses.  Free Stater rep Jess Edwards said it shouldn’t go to voters unless reps support the idea, and he doesn’t.  This is literally the same thing some of the democrats told me as they were entering the chamber, expressing that they were against democracy as they see themselves as “gatekeepers”.  One Democrat, rep Tim Egan, even admitted in an email to me, “legislators can absolutely not trust voters with this decision”.  The state reps don’t trust you to decide, whether they be Republican or Democrat.

Representative Tom Ploszaj used the excuse that no one from his constituency had reached out to him in support of CACR 32.  Of course the bill got very little attention in the media, so it’s likely few people were even aware of it.  Ploszaj and other “liberty reps” seem very concerned with what voters would think if they voted in support of CACR 32.  Ploszaj said in an email, “My personal opinion and stance on the CACR is irreverent [SIC] since I was elected to represent my district and uphold the Constitutions not to make decisions based on my own agendas.”  This is a strange statement as we all know that no one can truly “represent” a diverse group of people.  If Ploszaj ran a campaign and was honest about supporting liberty, then that is presumably why he was elected, not to do anything a handful of people who call him up suggest.  If a few people called Ploszaj to request he sponsor some Communist legislation, I suspect he would say no, even though some constituents wanted it.

Jason Osborne, Free Stater and the current House Majority Leader said that he supports California seceding, but doesn’t think the people of New Hampshire want independence.  He told me instead NH should lead the way for America.  Another Free Stater, five-term rep Brian Seaworth expressed that he didn’t want to support the bill because he didn’t think it would pass and he felt that voting for it would put him in jeopardy of losing the next election.  Melissa Blasek, state rep and executive director of Rebuild NH said that while she likes the idea, she’s worried the democrats will use it against her in her reelection campaign.

I guess we’ll see if the thirteen heroes who voted for this bill will be defeated in their re-election attempts later this year.  What if they are re-elected?  Will the “liberty reps” who refused to stand on principle develop a spine?  Don’t get your hopes up.

Perhaps they’ll be prosecuted for treason or rebellion as statist rep Brodie Deshaies suggested in his attempts to intimidate the reps into opposing CACR 32.  I’d bet against any reps being prosecuted.  Despite the claims to the contrary, this was an attempt at peaceful secession.  No violence was ever suggested.  Secession is legal and constitutional, as rep Matt Santonastaso explained in his speech on the house floor today.  Article one, section ten of the US Constitution outlines the specific things that states are not allowed to do.  Leaving is not one of those prohibited things.  In fact, secession isn’t talked about at all in the US Constitution.  Therefore, it’s a right left to the states under the tenth amendment of the Bill of Rights.  We CAN do this.  Some state is going to be first to go.  Whether it’s Texas, California, New Hampshire, or elsewhere, the only question is when.

The next big step for the NH Exit constitutional amendment, CACR 32, is this Thursday March 10th, when it will come to the full state house for a vote. Supporters of New Hampshire independence should immediately call or email their state representatives and ask them to support CACR 32. Please remind them that voting on CACR 32 is NOT a vote on state secession. Their vote is on whether or not to put the question on the ballot for the people to decide.

Many reps are confused and believe that if they vote to pass CACR 32 that they are supporting independence for NH and that is not true. Voting to kill CACR 32 means they are anti-democratic and do not want to allow the people of New Hampshire to vote on the matter.  Please be kind to the confused reps and try to help them understand rather than getting upset.

Here’s a handy tool you can use to discover your local state reps and get their contact information. While you can contact more than just your area’s reps, reps outside your area may not consider your comments as seriously as your local reps. So, if your time is limited, keep your state rep outreach to your area’s reps only.

Second, if you have free time this Thursday March 10th, please show up at the state house in Concord at 107 N Main St for their full house session where CACR 32 will be heard. We do not know the exact time CACR 32 will come up, but it is expected to happen at some point. The session begins at 9am but some NH Independence activists will be arriving much earlier, some as early as 7:30am, for a rally outside the state house. Feel free to bring signs or shirts promoting independence for New Hampshire. Be sure to also connect with our chat rooms on Matrix or Telegram to help coordinate. Both chat rooms are linked together, so if you join one, you needn’t join the other.

Earlier this winter, the committee hearing the bill voted it “Inexpedient to Legislate” 21-0, however there are 400 state reps in New Hampshire and because it’s a constitutional amendment any vote of the full house must be a “roll call” vote. Roll call means that each representative’s vote is recorded so we know how each state rep voted. We need to be present on Thursday to show them there is support for CACR 32 and that we are watching to see how they vote. See you Thursday morning at the state house in Concord!

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.
