As a past member of the New Hampshire House of Representative now seeking election once again, and as a past Chair of the Town of Gilford Budget Committee, I am sometimes asked for justification or criticized for my positions and votes on various issues before the NH House, the Belknap County Delegation, and the Gilford Budget Committee.
The New Litmus Test for Liberty: Individual Rights Persist in Spite of a State of Emergency
Individual rights are to Popular Sovereignty, as State’s rights are to Federalism; integral and unalienable! Our Federal form of government, a dual sovereignty style of governance, balances States’ rights and National authority in an institutional model that reflects the primordial political relationship between the minority (i.e. individual rights) and the majority (i.e. popular sovereignty).
Another Attack on a Trump Supporter’s Sign and Home – This Time in New Hampshire
Last Sunday around midnight, I was awakened by a noise I’ve never heard before. My husband checked it out and explained to me that it was the sound of paintball rounds piercing through the large Trump sign in front of our house and hitting our front door.
An electoral strategy for the appointment of the Supreme Court Justice
Speculation abounds about the upcoming nomination of an individual to take the place of the late Justice Ginsburg on the Supreme Court of the United States. Although the President has said that he will announce his nomination this coming Saturday at 5 PM, that he will appoint a woman to the position, and that the … Read more
Biden/Harris administration announces Supreme Court short list
With the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Biden/Harris administration has announced its list of prospective nominees to fill the now open seat on the country’s highest court. In keeping with their earlier announced intent to nominate a woman of color, the list is topped by Loretta Lynch and Susan Rice. And keeping in … Read more
Secretary of State’s office impedes candidate contact with absentee ballot voters.
Most candidates for public office in New Hampshire know that for a small fee they can obtain a complete list of all registered voters in their town providing names and addresses and party registrations. These are usually provided in electronic format such as Excel so that contacts by mail can be processed efficiently and inexpensively. … Read more
New Hampshire Needs to Repeal this Now Unconstitutional Remnant of Anti-Religious Bigotry
In part one, A Landmark Supreme Court Decision Relating to School Choice and Education Freedom – I discussed several U.S. Supreme Court cases leading up to the recent Espinoza v Montana Department of Revenue.
Right To Know Request – Same Day Registrations From Tuesday’s NH Primary Election
Tuesday had a pretty good turnout. Statewide here in NH: Previous record 228,432 votes cast in the September primary just two years ago New record this year on Tuesday: 304,671 (33% increase) Absentee ballots: 90,322 (30%) Democrat voters: 156,976 Republican voters: 147,695 (a difference of 9,281) Number of registered NH voters: 1,002,012 so a … Read more
Voting today – how were masks/no masks handled in your town? Mine – a problem
Voting, when I left around 2pm, was above average. Over 600 absentee ballots were received. The stupid part in actually voting was not the throw away pen (gee, SWAG from voting! Better than the stickers they hand out, although the Grandson would beg to differ). I was there from about 11am until 1pm holding a … Read more
My choices for tomorrow?
We get a ton of requests “Who should I vote for”; not just for GraniteGrok but pretty much all of the Groksters. We can’t answer all questions and we give out very few recommendations (this cycle, only two: Steve Negron (NH CD-2) and Karen Testerman (NH Governor). My choices, if it matters? None of these … Read more
This is the time for Unity.
With a primary this Tuesday we must remember that working together to unseat the Democrats is our primary goal. To this end, I, Eli Clemmer, am supporting and endorsing my prior primary opponent Steve Negron for U.S. Congress in the 2nd District.
A Landmark Supreme Court Decision Relating to School Choice and Education Freedom
The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Espinoza v Montana Department of Revenue was a landmark decision relating to school choice and education freedom. The case revolved around a Montana law that was passed, creating a tax credit scholarship program – similar to our NH program.
Big Brother is Alive & Well at the Census Bureau
Most everyone has heard the expression “I’m from the Government and I’m here to help you.” And when we hear or think of that saying, it is usually tongue-in-cheek because most of us know how much “help” the government purports to provide to us. Under the US Constitution, the federal government is required to conduct … Read more
The Destruction is the Distraction
We are now seeing the results of a plan that was two years and more in planning. You may have read stories in the 2018 election of how George Soros (yes, that enemy of our country), had poured a lot of money into political races for Attorneys General and District Attorneys.
Voting Democrat means voting to destroy our great country
This is in response to the letter recently printed in The Sun by Richard Davis. How someone can live to be 84 and be so misinformed about the issues is incredible to me. Seems that CNN and MSNBC have done their job. Mr. Davis mentions FDR, the president who did not so much end the Depression as prolong it in an attempt to have more people dependent on government.
A Back and Forth that Seems a Bit Sordid, and Needs Sorting Out
I would like to talk about the Executive Council and the District 5 primary race in particular. I am a proud, but relatively recent Granite Stater (6 years). If I had known about the free state project, I would have signed up before moving, having originally taken a job in Maskachussetts only after confirming I could handle the commute from up here in America.
A Small Victory for Liberty
In an opinion released this morning, the NH Supreme Court reversed an order of the Superior Court that had dismissed a suit brought against the Speaker of the NH House challenging the adoption of a rule that prohibited members of the House from carrying or possessing weapons anywhere in the Statehouse. The putative basis for … Read more
1834 Speech to the NH General Court by NH Governor William Badger
Note the constant references to the NH Constitution as to how NH was to be governed. How often have we heard recent Governers swear such fealty to our Foundational document? What we get now is “Public Health trumps Everything” instead. -Skip
Taking Back the GOP
This writer has for many years decried the “tolerance” and inclusiveness of RINOs in the Republican Party, not only in our own state but in other states and nationally. Their presence in the party dilutes the GOP brand, makes it much less meaningful and is damaging to other true Republican candidates.
FEAR SHOULD MAKE VOTING IMPERATIVE! NIGHTMARES SOMETIMES DO COME TRUE!
There is much to fear depending on the outcome of our elections in November, both at the federal and state level.
