Where is (Grafton Dist. 12) NH House Rep – Garrett Muscatel? Home – In California!

June 5, 2026May 13, 2020 Steve MacDonald

It’s a good thing the NH House is self quarantined from the statehouse because Grafton Dist 12 Democrat Garrett Muscatel is missing in action. Well, not missing so much as not residing at his “home address.” The one from which he ran for office in New Hampshire. That would be his ‘Dorm’ at Dartmouth.

Thank you to everyone who showed up at our Rally to Live Free last Saturday, May 2. We had a great event, with at least 500 people delivering the 5,300 petitions we signed to the governor. Unfortunately, the governor isn’t listening yet. We will need to keep up the pressure, and in fact, we will need to turn it up a notch, or ten.

“The state telling you what you can and can’t do isn’t about health”

May 9, 2020 Op-Ed

When the state tells you it’s safe to go to The Home Depot to buy a sponge but it’s too dangerous to go to a florist and buy flowers — it’s not about your health.

Civil Disobedience – Salon Owner Fined and Jailed for Opening Business, Lieutenant Governor Offers to Pay Fine and Serve Her Time

May 6, 2020 Ken Eyring

The illegal stay-at-home Executive Orders by governors across America ignore the fundamental foundation of our Country: Freedom! Two American Heroes committed civil disobedience to oppose Government Tyranny; Texas salon owner Shelley Luthor and (surprisingly) Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.
