Back in 2018, we watched 16-year-old NH resident Emily Tressa testify in support of NH’s bathroom bill HB1319 which gives males access to female private spaces such as women’s locker rooms and restrooms.

Massachusetts Question #3 was a 2018 ballot referendum to repeal the Massachusetts law which allows men who claim to be women to use women’s public restrooms and locker rooms. Voting “Yes” was in support of keeping the law.

Five More Bills I Would have Vetoed as Governor
Many want to applaud Governor Chris Sununu for the record number of bills he actively vetoed over the past 3 years. And certainly, he was the firewall against increased taxes and assaults against the 2nd Amendment. However, too many bills that he signed or allowed to become law are destructive to you and your children.
I guess Scala or Galdieri haven’t heard the latest, have they?
Social conservatives will grumble, but they don’t appear to have the juice to make the popular governor pay the price for this,” Scala added. “There just aren’t enough voters, even in a statewide Republican primary, who will vote on these issues. That was true when it came to repealing gay marriage, and it’s true today.”

“He feels like he is comfortably ahead enough that he can afford to lose a few social conservative votes,” Galdieri said.

It may be amusing, both ways, what with the scuttlebutt that has been part and parcel of all the inbound calls and emails I received yesterday and today. When the idea started up, everyone that either mentioned it or heard it basically said: “yup, we could get behind that, RIGHT NOW”.
Compelled Leadership = Our Government for Sale
By Ken Eyring
NH is open for business. But not like you may think.
When (then) Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was campaigning to “sell” the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) to the American people, she said, “We have to pass the Bill to see what’s in it.” She wasn’t kidding. The ACA contained many unknowns. It was vaguely written and delegated the specifics and interpretations of the law to be defined by unelected bureaucrats AFTER Obamacare became law. The rest is history.
With the ideological Transgender “Bathroom Bill” HB1319, New Hampshire’s “Republican” Governor, Chris Sununu, is modeling his leadership after Democrat Speaker Pelosi.

Cornerstone Action Statement on Governor Chris Sununu’s Signing of Gender-Policy Legislation
The following statement may be attributed to Shannon McGinley, Cornerstone Action Executive Director.
Today, a Republican governor goes down in history as the man who signed the Bathroom Bill, endangering women and girls all across the state and giving unfair advantages to men posing as women in various competitive environments. Sadly, Gov. Chris Sununu’s decision to sign the Bathroom Bill will overshadow some of his otherwise constructive accomplishments and identify him as the man who allowed unwanted, socially harmful ideas into a law that directly opposes government’s constitutional role to serve the “general good.”
Gov. Sununu today has signed away every Granite Stater’s right to privacy in public accommodations. He has signed away protection for equity in school athletics and scholarships. He has bought into a lie that it is somehow bigotry to recognize a person’s natural biological sex, and instead instituted a new era of bigotry against people with common sense.
Breaking: Gov. Chris Sununu signs HB1319 – the newest Bathroom Bill
So Governor Chris Sununu just told his Conservative and Faith-Based base to buzz off. You just told those that brung you to the dance that you’re in love with another. OK, buzz off we shall – like a buzzsaw. You asked we’ll deliver.
Good to know, good to know. I’m betting now that Aaron Day is going to start winding his campaign up a few notches. I’m even betting that an R might show up to cause Baby Huey to have to spend time and money during the Primary season on an effort that he ordinarily could have avoided. EASILY avoided.
“Winning is only a precursor; what you do afterwards is most important. Let Chris Sununu ponder upon that before signing the latest Bathroom Bill HB1319
Governor Sununu, apparently, doesn’t like that line in so much. His exact quote is “Winning is everything.” I guess the “the means justify…” something or other. If you don’t have a purpose, it doesn’t matter, I guess. It’s like that old phrase “if you don’t know where yer goin’, it doesn’t matter what road you take.” And right now, the conservative base in NH is waiting to see what road Governor Sununu is going to take.

From Cornerstone Action: The Gender Bills Are On You, Governor Sununu
Chris Sununu is no victim. He is a man of purpose and intention. It took such a person to wrest control of the State House from the Democrats who had held the corner office for so long.
And now, as he is poised to sign destructive legislation on gender, he and his surrogates are putting out the message that opponents of these bills had “terrible messaging,” and that the “terrible messaging” was why the bills landed on the Governor’s desk.
Message: it’s your fault, people. It shouldn’t have gotten here.
Mr. Sununu, shame on you.
Where So-Called “Trans Rights” May Violate Title IX
New Hampshire is on the verge of denying rights to people under the pretense of providing them. The Trans bill sailed through the House under the cover of giving something to a class of persons what they already had under existing law. Rights they’ve been exercising all along.
In the process, the Legislature has handed lawyers a colossal bag of easy money while complicating the lives of thousands of business owners and hundreds of local municipalities who must know address the needs of an unknown number of claimants to these rights. Unknown because anyone can claim them at any time in a toxic culture where daring to question their veracity is equally treacherous.
The Point is Not That Transgenders Might be Predatory
Part of the joy of defending disinterested citizens from the wolves of the always-on political machine of modern-government is untwisting the machine language used to snooker the sleeping giant. A great example is the recent kerfuffle over the politics of transgenders using public bathrooms, and not just in public schools.
Meet Bob “Bathroom Bill” Perry (Reprise)
With the Strafford 3 special election tomorrow, I thought it fitting to revisit this post about democrat Bob ‘Bathroom Bill’ Perry. His voting record epitomizes what the left is and wants for you and your children. You must not forget what they stand for.
Meet Bob “Bathroom Bill” Perry
Bob supported all the taxes, the wacky accounting, the bad revenue estimates, the overspending, the nanny state nonsense, even job killing taxes and bloated government spending during a recession. A vote for Bob is a vote for more taxes, more fees, less money in your wallet every year, and more bureaucracy and state control everywhere else.
Bay State Bathroom Bill Bi-Pass (Get it? Bi-pass!)
I’m here to tell you that there are 188 very happy current and former state legislators from New Hampshire today. That’s right, 184 democrats and 4 republicans must be beside themselves with envy after Deval Patrick executed an order that bi-passes the MA legislature and does for public employees in that state, almost exactly what HB 415 -2009 tried to do to the entire State of New Hampshire..
HB 415 – 2009 was the infamous bathroom bill, no not the $72,000.00 bill taxpayers paid when the democrats remodeled the State House ladies room just a casual saunter from former Speaker Norelli’s office door; I’m referring to the ‘Gender Identity and Expression’ bill that would require (among other things) equal access to all public ‘accommodations’ regardless of gender identity or expression–by law. Feel like a girl today (sex offenders)–well go get one and hello ladies bathroom, shower, sauna…it’s the law. Well, not here in NH. The State Senate killed it.
But HB 415 -2009 was one of those bills the democrats wasted days and days debating (strong-arming no votes to ‘don’t votes,’ and democrat fence sitters to vote yes) while in the midst of the Worst Recession in historyTM. You know, something to distract us from all the taxes and fees they had to come up with because democrats always spend first and tax you later.
And now with a flamboyant stroke of a pen, Deval Patrick has mandated that all public employees have equal access to same, regardless of sexual identity or expression. Public schools are full of government employees. How’s that going to work exactly? (Democrats don’t think that far ahead.)
But for our Bathroom Bill supportes and the “NH House 188,” there is an opportunity at hand. They can all move south to the promised land, get jobs in state or local government, or go into a public government facility, and use whichever bathroom they feel like identifying with, at any time.
So let us reminisce about the halcyon NH House days in the "spring of 09," and review the final Roll call from the NH House passage of HB 415 – 2009 (on the jump.) because it is always good to remember who it was that was wasting time on social issues during a growing economic recession. Or so I hear.
Enjoy.
