In 2021, a group of state representatives angled to have a bill reforming New Hampshire’s state of emergency laws included in the state budget. It became the single issue that the budget debate hinged on. We were partially successful but not completely.

Why Are NH Public Officials, and Guardians of the Law and Law Enforcement Exempt From The Law?
Dear Richard Tracy,
I bring to your attention the following notice regarding Election Law Complaint Status for the period September 1, 2016-May 24, 2018. It is signed by then AG Gordon MacDonald.
The Militia vs. The Standing Army: Does the Distinction Matter?
Within the debate over the meaning of the Second Amendment, a lot of attention gets paid to the phrase “well-regulated militia.” Most of the time, the focus is on whether or not this phrase infers a collective right, or explains the need for the individual right to keep and bear arms.
Yes, We NEED to Teach Cursive Writing
There’s something at stake in education that most people are ignoring. Schools are drifting away (sometimes running away) from teaching cursive writing. All sorts of excuses have been given: “It’s old.” “It’s hard to teach.” “We don’t need it any more.”
Required Reading – The Fast and Easy Way to “Level Up” Your Understanding …
For the sake of honesty and full disclosure, I should first point out my lack of qualifications to fancy myself a book critic, but when I have something to say that’s worth shouting from the rooftops, why hold back?
Crime, Racketeering, And Kickbacks
I have written before regarding former Concord Police Detective Julie Curtin, but seeing that she just gave testimony in a criminal trial: State v Jessica Warren, I am compelled to do so. It is my belief that former Concord Police Detective Julie Curtin, who I understand is now with Epping Police Department and worked in … Read more
Parent Bill of Rights Fails
I dislike reporting on such bad news, but SB 272, the parent bill of rights, failed in the House. After a series of floor amendments gutted this bill, rendering it impotent and actually harmful to parental rights (see director’s report for more detail), the bill was voted “Indefinitely Postponed,” which means it can not be brought up again until 2025.
Central Bank Digital Currency: Paper Money isn’t the Solution
Physical paper money solves some of the privacy and security issues inherent in central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). But a lot of people seem to have forgotten that government-issued paper fiat is the parent of a CBDC, and it won’t solve the more fundamental problem – whether physical or digital, fiat currency isn’t real money. What Is … Read more

Disarm the IRS, De-Militarize the Bureaucracy, and Dismantle the Standing Army
“There are instruments so dangerous to the rights of the nation and which place them so totally at the mercy of their governors that those governors, whether legislative or executive, should be restrained from keeping such instruments on foot but in well-defined cases. Such an instrument is a standing army.”
-Thomas Jefferson, 1789
“No” to Settlements in Nashua RTK Cases
Court Settlements in Nashua are done in bad faith and are unreasonable. They are a ploy to ring up legal bills and produce no records. A settlement is not an admission of guilt, so settling results in no real improvement in the process. (In Nashua, winning in Court has resulted in no real improvement, either.)
Fed up with Schools Disrespecting Students and Parents
I must admit that I am fed up and tired of reading about how these schools continue to disrespect students and parents. Also, to the same extent, how women and girls are bullied and abused in competitive athletics. Where are the women who burned their bras in the sixties? Did you not teach your … Read more
The War on Free Speech is Really a War on the Right to Criticize the Government
Absolutely, there is a war on free speech. To be more accurate, however, the war on free speech is really a war on the right to criticize the government.
Using Muddle to Win over the Court
The City of Nashua employs deliberately confusing tactics to win Right-to-Know Court cases. And they work. They scramble the records, provide incomplete responses and repeatedly request citizens clarify their written request for the records sought.
Follow The Money: Advice for the Falsely Accused
Being accused of a crime, you did not commit is terrifying. Very often, the person being accused has to suffer in silence because speaking before a trial or a determination could jeopardize the outcome. Yet not speaking could jeopardize the outcome too.
You Can’t Seek the Truth in a Courtroom When Judges Tolerate Lying.
Since 2020, I have spent about 40 hours in the Courtroom. I can’t say that Justice has been served. The Court has shown a disturbing level of patience and acceptance for City Attorneys and employees who are willfully misrepresenting information, lacking candor, and, in some instances, boldly lying.
The Nashua Court’s Alignment with the City
Last August, my Attorneys filed a federal suit against the City of Nashua, naming eight City leaders, alleging numerous violations of constitutional rights. All this stemmed from trying to access public records in Nashua, which began in 2018.
The Agency Issue, Nashua’s New Twist to Withhold Public Records
The City of Nashua has engaged in a game of hiding records and subverting the spirit of the Right-to-Know. In 2021, self-represented, I won several Court rulings on Right-to-Know petitions. I won both cases, but the City appealed the Judge’s ruling to the Supreme Court.
My Rare Alignment with Mayor Donchess.
Mayor Donchess and I rarely align on issues, but one thing we agree on is justice is not served in Judge Temple’s Courtroom. The Mayor has been expounding in his many public forums about Judge Temple’s ruling in favor of some of my Right-to-Know cases.
