Amanda Carpenter. So I’m listening to the O’Reilly Factor on the satellite radio while driving to work Friday morning and caught a bit of an interesting discussion on health care and, more specifically, a new proposal to allow larger rate discounts for "healthy" people- basically not obese or otherwise out of shape. Unfortunately, it was a short segment, and I didn’t catch everything said on the topic by one of the guests, Amanda Carpenter. It all worked out, however, because she will join us on the radio to give the details.
We’ll also talk about the continuing Carol Shea Porter town hall fiasco which has caught Amanda’s eye down in DC and get her take on the failed Obama bid for a Chicagoland Olympics.
In addition to occasionally appearing on the Fox News Channel & other outlets, Amanda Carpenter writes the daily "Hot Button" column for The Washington Times. Prior to that, she was a national political reporter for Townhall.com.

While at the RI 9-12 Tea Party, I had the pleasure of meeting James Dunn, who has written a book about history entitled "The United States of Empire- The passing of the mantle from the United Kingdom to the United States." Writes Dunn: "So it was World War I changed the whole of world history and set the stage for the "American Century." It was a war we need not have joined. But we did and since then, we have become: The United States of Empire." The book makes for some deep and interesting reading, and posits the notion that had we approached the "war to end all wars" differently, the 20th Century would have been a very different time. If the Kaiser had indeed won the war, would there have been a Hitler? Would there have even been an aggressive Soviet bear? Perhaps there would have been no Korean or Vietnam wars. We’ll also consider one of the more controversial assertions he makes that challenges some traditional notions (or maybe not) of how much Roosevelt knew before the Day of Infamy at the dawn of WWII. Following this, Dunn will stay with us throughout the show and participate in the panel discussion as it unfolds.

State Representative Dan Itse was the sponsor of HCR6, a resolution affirming States’ rights based on Jeffersonian principles. While ultimately not passed, his proposal gained attention well beyond the Granite State’s borders, with other states joining in. Rep. Itse even appeared on the Glenn Beck Show to discuss the plan to tell the Federal government it’s "gone far enough." Indeed the States’ Rights Movement has gained momentum, with one of Alaska Gov Sarah Pailin’s final acts being the signing similar legislation, along with many others as well. Certainly, Dan is giving it another go here in the Granite State. He will describe what it actually means, how it works, and why the act of the States reclaiming their Constitutional rights is the only chance we have at saving the Republic.
We’ll also talk parental rights, petitions and bills of address, his aim to correct the miswording in Art 73A of the NH Constitution, and the movement to audit the Federal Reserve. Representative Itse is the Director of Political Action for the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance (NHLA).
