How Much Is the State of New Hampshire Hiding to Get Away with Gross Misconduct?
In 2003, Carlene Hempel wrote an article in Boston.com about New Hampshire’s top sex crimes police detective, James F McLaughlin.
Jane Young Should Not Be the US Attorney for New Hampshire.

Fund for Victims of Sexual Abuse and Domestic Violence Is Lipstick on a Pig
I commend AG John Formella for being the first AG to recognize the horrors and speedy effort to set up a fund to pay the victims of abuse in the centers. However, I also have to say that the proposed fund is effectively lipstick on a pig.
Dear Attorney General John Formella – It Is beyond Time for a Serious Investigation into What Is Going on in New Hampshire.
Dear Attorney General John Formella,
As a result of the recent news regarding Harmony Montgomery and Elijah Lewis; the report from the Office of Child Advocate regarding the abuse of children under State Care;
“Put Bluntly, What Good Is a Bill of Rights If You Cannot Enforce It?”
“Imagine if you lived in a country like Russia that has a number of civil rights enshrined in its constitution. If those rights were violated by the government, do you think you could sue to enforce them? Of course not.”
“Education is key to continued liberty”
By Chuck Douglas [NOTE: Former NH Supreme Court Justice Douglas points out something that I’ve been saying (along with a lot of other people) for quite some time; bolded below from his address at the Josiah Bartlett Libertas dinner, reformatted, emphasis mine -Skip] More than Josiah Bartlett’s biography is the fact that he and the … Read more
Some thoughts on the Pindell / Cline / Douglas criticisms of the Honor Your Oath Rally – Part 1
I’m not even sure that James Pindell, Chuck Douglas, and Drew Cline were even at the same rally I was from reading their criticism (one at the WMUR site, two Union Leader Op-Eds) – or even bothered to watched the videos that were up at several sites. Each of them decided to tear the folks apart that stood up for their beliefs without seeing what was, to me, the obvious. In fact, I’m not even sure they even saw the obvious reason why 600 folks turned out to participate, volunteers doing the grunt work necessary to put on such an event, and the dozen or so speakers up at the podium. Yes, when you put yourself out in public, this is what happens – others will take pot shots at you, at the rally, or the issue for a variety of reasons: their sense of “professionalism”, their overarching specialized knowledge has been “violated”, their standing within their own specialized communities “demands” they take a stand, or they decided to reject the perceived issue out of hand as “being without merit”. None of them seem to have caught the intense sense of importance of the actual subject to the speakers and the attendees.
Or, to put it simply, wielding a hatchet just because they have an audience to impress or a thinly veiled purpose that may be getting set for the future. Or both.
Honor Your Oath. It wasn’t about journalists worried about column inches, punctuation, and delicately chosen words and sentence structure; it is about keeping a promise. It wasn’t about case law, or legal briefs, or court battles (even if from a former Supreme Court Justice); it is about a man and the importance of his word. It was not about bright lights, teleprompters, self-absorption, politics, or even the crowd; it is about judging a man and his bond. It wasn’t about guns or self-defense or “Stand Your Ground” (although that’s all these three seemingly heard), it wasn’t about Right or Left; it is about answering the question “Do we trust this person when their actions do not match that Oath”?
