We Are Not Happy with the Continuing BS of Senate and House
When did We, The Citizens of Rockingham County, vote to change the term for County Treasurer, County Sheriff, County Register of Deeds, and County District Attorney from a 2-year term to a 4-year term?? Why Rockingham County only ??? Why isn’t there a roll call record ??
Real Republicans Should Select Republican Candidates
The 2022 Annual Meeting of the NH Republican State Committee will be held in Windham this coming Saturday, January 29. Among the more important issues to be voted upon at that meeting will be a proposed amendment to the By-Laws of the NHGOP that could have a major effect on our elections in the future.
Article V – Empowering States to Limit the Federal Government
Article V. empowers states to limit the federal government and is the megaphone for the peoples’ voice. This is part one of a how-to manual on limiting the federal government, skipping congress, and going straight to the constitution.
The Amended Amendment Procedure
I do solemnly swear, that I will bear faith and true allegiance to the United States of America and the state of New Hampshire, and will do whatever their Supreme Courts tell me to do, even when that conflicts with their written constitutions.
Article 100 of the New Hampshire Constitution outlines a few different methods by which that document can be amended. But with election season upon us, and with school funding being such a hot topic, it’s worth taking a look at a method that isn’t included in the document itself, using Article 83 as an example.
Response to Nancy Parsons Questions about Objections to Obama’s Gun Control Policies
Perhaps other people wonder about the questions in Nancy Parson’s letter of January 18, 2013 in the Laconia Daily Sun. (See: http://issuu.com/dailysun/docs/lds1-18-13 ) My beliefs are based on the following: True safety requires consideration of reality not wishes. If anyone is hurt during a crime, it should be the criminal not the intended victim. Criminals will ignore gun laws and get the guns they want. Lack of accurate information causes many people to irrationally fear guns in the hands of law abiding Americans.
First. I lived most of my life outside of New Hampshire in states with very restrictive gun laws so initially it felt strange to see armed civilians. All those other states have much higher crime rates than New Hampshire, and I feel much safer in New Hampshire where criminals aren’t assured of helpless victims.
Second. A common question among people who know nothing about guns is about “how many bullets does one need?” The answer is, it depends.
Anyone who thinks you only need one or two bullets should go to a shooting range (there is one in Belmont) and shoot at a target (they’ll help you). Then consider how hard it is to hit a flying bird or a running, jumping and turning animal.
Self-defense is another matter. To an unpredictably moving target, add in surprise, fear, perhaps terror, attempts to corral and calm children, calling the police for help, perhaps an angry attacker shooting at you, and our natural hesitancy to shoot another human.
