RSA 91-A: Right to Know workshop with a South Korean contingent (Part 1)

Monday night I had the pleasure of meeting with a small contingent of five South Korean politicos (and two interpreters) at the offices of CNHT in Concord.  They are touring the United States in search of how we deal with government corruption; CNHT was chosen for our nationally known experience (and success) in ferreting out and stopping local government officials acting badly.  We were also selected because we help other volunteers in doing this and build up that expertise and institutional knowledge that can be shared.

This workshop revolved around NH’s Right To Know statute: RSA 91-a and how ordinary citizens can and do use it quite effectively in a variety of ways of keep a government entity that may be trying to become unaccountable highly accountable to its citizens. After, it IS Government that is supposed to report to us – not the other way around.

As Skip is always saying “The Bigger the Government, the smaller the citizen”.  Being an aborist, think of RSA 91-a as the citizenry’s chainsaw (pruning government gone bad).

Parts 1 & 2 (3 and 4 later on today):

Republican Dean-Bailey becomes one of the youngest women elected to NH House

deanbaileyTonight 19 year old Republican Yvonne Dean-Bailey won the Rockingham 32 special election. Dean-Baily (Republican) carried Nottingham, Northwood and Candia while Maureen Mann (Democrat) won her hometown of Deerfield. This election had been fraught with outrageous behavior from Maureen Mann and her campaign staff along with her supporters throughout the beginning but clearly voters decided to vote for the candidate they thought would best represent them.

If the Democrats Didn’t “Buy” the Election, Someone Else Must Have

Hassan has to return another illegal contribtionEvery time the Democrats blame out-of-state money for why they lost an election–aside from ignoring how they always have and spend more of same — they are insulting every voter in that district.

The assumption is that money is what bought your vote whether it was spent to get you to the polls or spent to get you stay home. Under no circumstance are you, regardless of your decision, voting based on your own free will.

But that makes sense coming from Democrats.

Where Did 11,440 NH Workers Go?

The New Hampshire Department of Employment Security (NHDES) released the April job numbers yesterday. New Hampshire’s unemployment rate is being reported as 3.8%.  (746,530 people in the NH labor force, 717,870 are employed, 28,660 listed as unemployed.) That sounds pretty good, but in July of 2008 there were 756,570 people in the NH labor force … Read more

Notable Quote – Vox Popoli

“There is no compromise with progressivism and trying to stop it at some line drawn in the sand is a fool’s errand. Trying to hold them at bay cedes momentum to the progressives. Only a concerted campaign to destroy progressives root and branch by forcing the march of history in the other direction will ever … Read more

What a great day to be a RINO!

Democrat NH House Speaker Shawn Jasper (RINO) and US Senator Kelly Ayotte (RINO) are asking Congressman Frank Guinta to resign from the US House of Representatives over a false FEC filing of his own family’s money used in his own campaign in 2010.

Nice opportunity for them and the Democrats.

When There Is Some There There, I Will Write About It Here

FEC_federal_election_commissionCongressman Frank Guinta has some FEC reporting problems from 2010 which are making headlines now. The last time I remember such a situation and wrote about it was the Burt Cohen (D) 2004 Senate Campaign where Burt Cohen brought in an out of state campaign “expert” with a questionable past, sound familiar, who was the real campaign treasurer, not the named campaign treasurer.

The out of state expert, Jessie Burchfield, then filed false reports, stole money and – ready for this, generated false press releases stating Burt Cohen’s campaign was flush with cash. The false press releases were intended to scare other candidates away.

Here is the story, in brief, from the FEC report.

Derry unions continue to lie and fear monger over tax cuts but unions are to blame for the cuts

derryfiredepthampsteadroadToday the Union Leader reported that a group in Derry is going to hold a rally for the Derry Fire Department before the Derry Town Council’s vote on thebudget (even inviting union members from out-of-town). Really it’s nothing more than a union rally but unions like to pretend they are ‘grassroots’ citizens. As previously reported, the budget cuts have been extremely contentious in Derry.

Nottingham, Northwood, Candia and Deerfield Vote for Yvonne Dean-Bailey Today

Today is the day to vote in the Rockingham 32 Special election (Nottingham, Northwood, Candia and Deerfield).

This is a Republican district so all the Republicans have to do to lose is stay home.

Given all the BS that has been heaped on Yvonne-Dean Baily by her Democrat opponent and the state parties paid out-of-state staffers, it is important for New Hampshire Republicans in this district to take a few minutes to stop at their polling place today to vote for Yvonne. She is an outstanding candidate who will serve your district well.

Quote of the Day – Steven Hayward

‘Remember: when leftists say they want a “conversation about race,” they mean – you shut up and confess your white guilt. Oh, and raise taxes.‘  

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

“Nearly one in three Americans who are now having to pay down their student debt-or a staggering 31.5%-are at least a month behind on their payments, new research from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis suggests. That figure is far higher than official delinquency measures reported by the Education Department and the New York … Read more

AG Games

courtgavel-tileLet’s play a little guessing game!

This low-life scum that sent the fake press release about Republican House of Representatives Candidate Yvonne Dean-Bailey in next Tuesday’s special election has admittedly violated NH Election Law. The portion of the law he violated is in the Criminal Code RSA 666.6 so it will be hard to pretend it is a nonexistent.

The Attorney General’s Office is charged with prosecuting election law violations when they feel like it. That statute is RSA 7:6-c which is rendered toothless in the very first sentence:

7:6-c Enforcement of the Election Laws. –
