Roundabouts from some of NH's Conservative bloggers
A while ago, we changed the blogroll to list some of the conservative leaning blogs here in NH. One of my goals is to sweep through and see what they are talking about on a fairly regular basis, so here's the first try!
Amy Kane from Atlantic Ave brings back a fond memory for me:

When I was young, my Dad owned a 45 ft. Custom Chris Craft fishing party boat with a flying bridge and room for 3 "fighting chairs" home ported in Cohasset, MA. Growing up, there were a lot of one or two man boats like this in the harbor and my Dad knew them all. Even if a bit rough around the edges, these guys pretty much had hearts of gold. Our politicians could learn much from them.

From Moultonboro Speaks, a bit of news concerning the effects of SB2. Oh wait - they DON'T have SB2 (which changes a town from voting on Town affairs in person to a ballot form)!
Meredith Public employees to form union...but Meredith is not an SB2 Town, how can that be?
Meredith Public employees to form union...but Meredith is not an SB2 Town, how can that be?
Remember all the scare tactics thrown around by public officials before ballot day about how town employees do not get raises and lose benefits under SB2? That SB2 encourages public employees to unionize to protect their jobs and benefits?Well, it's very interesting that some public employees in Meredith (where voters narrowly defeated SB2 in the past two years) are in the process of forming a collective bargaining unit. Imagine that. Unions in non-SB2 municipalities......what's this world coming to.

Lori from ConChrist has some news that caught my interest:
I'm down with this....takes away a method for gaming the system.Possible End To "Anchor Babies?"
A Georgia lawmaker is proposing a law that would close this loophole.
U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal, a Republican candidate for governor of Georgia, has proposed changing the long-standing federal policy that automatically grants citizenship to any baby born on U.S. soil, a move opposed by immigrant rights advocates.
Supporters of Deal’s proposal say “birthright citizenship” encourages illegal immigration and makes enforcement of immigration laws more difficult. Opponents say the proposed law wouldn’t solve the illegal immigration problem and goes against this country’s traditions of welcoming immigrants.
...
Deal and his supporters say the 14th Amendment wording was never meant to automatically give citizenship to babies born to illegal immigrants.
“This is a sensible, overdue measure that closes a clause that was never meant to be a loophole,” said Bob Dane, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which seeks tighter immigration restrictions.
The article states that the law was meant to apply to freed slaves, but that illegal immigrants today are making it harder for INS to deport them if they have a child born here in the states. According to the proposed law, the only way someone could be a citizen here if they were born here is if at least one parent is already a citizen.
I say go for it.
