The Independent Patient Advisory Board, brought into being by Jeanne Shaheen and Senate Democrats, through ObamaCare, is an unelected 15 member panel empowered to make law.  It is entirely partisan, appointed by the President, and inoculated from Congressional or public scrutiny for the purpose of cutting reimbursements paid by the government for health care.

This unelected and unaccountable board can act with the force of law, without fear of consequence, with a mandate to do what we have been told no other agency can possibly do.  Cut its budget.  IPAB’s job is to spend less.

To pay less for healthcare services for women, and to pay less to female doctors for services they man no longer want to offer as a result.

Things are coming to a head again in Atkinson, NH and it is the same old bald head – former Police Chief Phil “All Hands” Consentino.

Here is what happens when police, the courts, and the newspapers cover for bad cops.

Some copies of the out of court settlement between the Town of Atkinson and the female dispatcher who was sexually harassed by Phil Consentino have been placed in plastic bags and tossed in the appropriate front lawns.

A former resident who had to move out of Atkinson with his family has summed up much of the issue on the local blog, The Atkinson Reporter 2, which can be found here and on our CNHT.org web site.

Mark Acciard was bullied for years until his wife and kids left town for some peace, but that doesn’t mean Mark doesn’t have a warm spot for old Consentino the Latin Hand Lover.

With few exceptions, typically at the very (very) local level Politics is expensive.  That’s why incumbents have a natural advantage.   They already have name recognition.  They are able to use their connections to amass war-chests of cash with which to engage in campaigning.    And campaigning is nothing more than paid political speech.  So to complete the word problem, if you need money to run for office, and running for office is political speech, then you need money to engage in political speech.

Political incumbents, and a manifold of professional political “speakers” are always offering resolutions like HCR-10 to institutionalize political speech.  Their goal is to frighten you with the chimera of rich corporations “buying elections,” but when you look at all the kinds of legislation offered by politicians to address the so-called problem, it is the everyday citizen who is ultimately silenced.

(The Editors- it’s election day: Everyone in EC District One please turn out to vote for joe Kenney!)

Originally published Mar. 9th 2014
When you hear Michael Cryans say how much he cares about people, question who he actually cares about, whether he is able to help, and whether his “caring” helps or hurts you.

Did Cryans care about Grafton taxpayers when he approved the gratuitous spending of their hard earned tax dollars?  Did he show caring for the taxpayers or for himself  when he voted to give many thousands of taxpayer dollars to his employer?  (How much did Cryans personally benefit (salary, bonuses, perks, etc.?) from obtaining money for his employer?)

Democrats ignore the hundreds of millions the Koch brothers give to charity every year, to the arts, and large donations to non-political purposes, preferring to focus on their political giving as a locus around which to organize left-wing hate.

That “locus” has dropped to new lows.  Unions, who spend a lot more than the Koch brothers on campaigns, are protesting the expansion of New York Presbyterian Hospital.  It is a large expansion, made possible primarily by the $100 million dollar donation of David H. Koch.

If Obama gave 100 Million to a Hospital it would be advertised globally as mana from heaven.  He’d be up for another Nobel Prize.  a Koch gives that and more, and even though this donation will create more of those “good paying union jobs” the unions and Progressives are protesting.

The paper in Concord claims to have found some disenfranchised voters!

Ah, but as usual with NH election laws, the print media, and voting, the facts are not facts.

One couple living in a seasonal campground has complained to a reporter about the Town of Henniker not letting them vote. They complain about an attempt they made in 2010 but have no details about who would not let them vote.

Another couple who live in the same campground are currently on the checklist, but were not sure they were.

So, the point of the story?

Keeping ‘corporate’ money out of politics is a Democrat agenda item, so whenever “activists” bring it up two things are evident.

First, Democrats are behind it and paying for it.

Second, by ‘Corporate’ money they do not mean, as Grokster Susan Olsen observed, Corporations…” like the Service Employees International Union (SIEU), a 501(c)(5) tax-exempt corporation. Or the American Federation of Teachers Union, another 501(3)(5) tax-exempt corporation. Or maybe NEA-NH, a 501(c)(6) tax-exempt corporation? Or maybe the Town of Warner, in-freaking-corporated in 1735?”

Unions, who already pay no taxes (see also–do not contribute to funding that which the candidates they elect advocate) are never included in demands to end the ‘big money threat’ to Democracy.

So when you read this, keep that in mind, and then take a look at who the biggest ‘Threats” to the Democracy really are.

New Hampshire Democrat Senator Jeanne Shaheen is participating in a special all night event in the US Senate.  From 10pm tonight until 9am Tuesday morning, twenty-eight Democrat Senators so far (I include the Independent socialist Bernie Sanders (VT) as a Democrat) will talk endlessly about …climate change.  Eleven hours of speeches about climate change.  And it’s an all-nighter.

Do you know what percentage of Americans who think climate, the environment, and pollution (combined) are one of our most pressing problems?

Senator Harry Reid had announced that because AFP recorded and broadcast the stories of some folks who are having a hard time after the implementation of ObamaCare that they cannot possibly be true.

Harry Reid is calling everyday American’s with Cancer, or Lupus, adults, children, even single mom’s, liars because if it were him, if he ran AFP, they would be.

Left wing billionaires are constantly funding Democrat propaganda.  The people are stage props, no more genuine than Obama’s styrofoam columns, or Obama, for that matter.
