SB 120 – Once You Sets Foot on The New Hampshire Speech Plantation…

OakAlleyPlantationOnce You Sets Foot on The New Hampshire Speech Plantation…you best know the rules before speaking.

Free speech exists to protect us from government tyranny so whenever the government or one of its surrogates tries to argue in favor of using government force to control political speech you need to pay attention.  When they actually write themselves a law to do it, you need to stop it.  New Hampshire’s SB 120 is just such a bill.

SB 120 gives the people with the most to fear from free speech (Politicians, bureaucrats, government agencies and the non-profit and lobbyist/Lawyer pilot fish that feed off the taxpayer dollars that fund government) the ability to limit everyone elses speech on their terms; terms that always favor the elected and entrenched over the rest of us.  They might as well be princes invoking the royal ‘We,’ as in “We will decide who can speak, where, when, and how much–about what we are doing with your money.”

The very presumption of their right to impose limits of any kind is grounds for dismissal.  It stinks of tyranny, seeds planted, whose crop stifles the voice of many for the benefit of a few.

And “speech rules,” ‘Pledges,’ or gimmicks to protect your campaigns from “outside money” are really nothing more than efforts to convert outside money into inside money–that is, to force as much money as possible spent on political speech through the hands of the kind of people who like to make rules about who, and how people can spend money to talk about them and what they have done in office.

It’s all about message control.  And there are plenty of folks in either party that are happy to silence speech they have no control over.  That is why they write bills like SB120.  It creates a speech plantation where you only get to speak where and when massa says you can speak.

Thursday, April 24, 2014, 1:00pm – 1:30pm at the Legislative Office Building–I believe it is room 308.  (Make them run long….)
