We have a very special guest with us this week-- Mr. Jorge Mesa Tejada of Hampstead, NH. Those active in NH politics and government know that Jorge has been a mentor to many activists seeking better and more accountable government at both the state and local levels. If you're on a budget committee or are constructing a public building somewhere, Jorge is the "go-to" guy for information and knowledge that will help you in your deliberations and planning. Jorge is also a very proud LEGAL immigrant from Colombia. Unlike many of us who had the good fortune of being born here as an American, Jorge is a citizen by CHOICE. We'll talk about his past and how and why his family came to America. He will tell us why illegal immigration and an easy path to citizenship, jumping ahead of those who wait, devalues the meaning of the term "citizen." We'll also talk about the importance of English. This should be interesting conversation. We'll also talk with him about "design-build" versus the more traditional means of public building construction. Oh, and we'll find out his opinion on the secret ballot vote taken by the County Delegation to appoint the new Sheriff.

Also...
- Dawn Lincoln of the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance will discuss that group's annual legislative report cards for the NH House and Senate. If we have time, we'll get her take on the Free State movement and a wrap on last week's gathering of the group at the Porcupine Festival.
- John Hawkins of RightWingNews, Conservative Grapevine, Townhall.com, and the Duncan Hunter campaign (John is, like our Pat Hynes, a man of many hats) joins us once again this week. We'll discuss his liveblogging the final Illegal immigration amnesty vote and the pressure brought upon the politicians by the people that brought the whole mess down. He'll talk about what he terms the "Chamber of Commerce Crowd's" interest in maintaining porous borders. He'll tell us what he thinks we need to do with Iran, too.
- We'll discuss wind power a little and the state of the proposed Gilford energy study committee if time allows.

What a show! It all starts at 11AM EST today. Tune in if you're in Central NH at NewsTalk 1490AM WEMJ or live on the 'Net here...
