In late 2021, school officials in Brattleboro, Vermont, hosted a clinic at which the COVID vaccine was administered to a 6-year-old child against his parents’ expressed wishes. Last month, a judge dismissed the family’s lawsuit against the school district and the State of Vermont.

An Open Letter to the IREHR (Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights)
Dear Sirs, It has been brought to my attention that your organization recently published a study finding that 875 state legislators representing all 50 states are members of far-right groups on Facebook.

Weaponizing the State: Does NH DCYF Have a “Bitter Clingers” Problem?
The New Hampshire Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) recently made some waves in our state when they attempted to remove two children from their home after learning that the father had administered Ivermectin to his teenage boy a few days earlier.

Karoline Leavitt Will Bring the Kind of Change We Need
Congressional approval ratings are abysmal, – and for good reason. For years, our elected representatives in Washington have been spending our nation into oblivion, racking up debt that amounts to over $87,000 for each US citizen. With unfunded liabilities, that number surpasses $484,000 per person. If you’re wondering why the cost of everything is going through the roof, here it is.

Let’s Elect Principled Conservatives, Not Democrat-Donors
One of the most hotly contested Republican primaries for September promises to be the race for Executive Council District 5. And although the Executive Council is relatively obscure to most New Hampshire voters, it is, in fact, one of the more powerful elected bodies in the state.
Comrade Buttinsky: “No Mask? No Soup for YOU!”
In a recent op-ed, Executive Counselor Andru Volinsky calls for the government to “enforce the wearing of masks” by requiring that businesses refuse service to anyone not wearing a face covering.
603 Alliance Editorial: It’s Time to Reopen New Hampshire
[The following editorial is presented on behalf of the 603 Alliance Board of Directors.]
New Hampshire’s “stay at home order” was issued on March 16th. Over two months later, we continue to face serious restrictions that limit our ability to earn a living, that restrain our freedom of assembly, and that restrict our right to worship as we see fit.
A Modest Proposal: Equal Treatment Under the (NHGOP’s) Law
Shortly after last year’s NHGOP Annual Meeting, I wrote a post entitled Identity Politics on the NHGOP eBoard. The accompanying photo cited George Orwell: All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
A Primer on the Difference Between NHGOP Delegates and State Committee Members

South Dakota Taxpayers shell out $450k to Declare “We’re on Meth”
File this under #GovernmentFail… a shining example of just how badly people can screw something up when they are spending other people’s money, for the purported benefit of someone else. (See Milton Friedman’s Four Ways to Spend Money.)
Attention Catholics: This Weekend’s “Anti-Poverty” Collection Funds Marxism
It’s that time of year again… time for the US Conference of Catholic Bishops to launch their annual Adopt-a-Marxist program, more commonly known as the “Catholic Campaign for Human Development” (CCHD).

UNH Students Aim to Shut Down Rand Paul/Charlie Kirk Event?
As previously reported on GraniteGrok, Turning Point USA is hosting an event this Thursday featuring Senator Rand Paul and TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk. Some UNH students are not very happy about that.
California Bureaucrats to Create NH State Laws?
In case you needed any more evidence of just how crazy the NH Democrats have gotten: NH Democrat Rebecca McWilliams (Concord) is proposing a bill that would (in effect) delegate the regulation of New Hampshire’s air quality standards to a group of left‑coast bureaucrats known as the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
