First it was the repeal of parental notification prior to a minor getting an abortion. Then mandatory seat belts. Lake speed limits (a "test trial").
Fee hikes. And a denouncement of the war (a non-binding, meaningless gesture). Oh, and a fine for "polluting" if you allow a balloon to float away from your or your child’s hand. (I guess I know what we WON’T be seeing at the Nascar races in NH this yaer) Yesiree, when you look at what’s been happening to our beloved Granite State (motto: "Live Free or Die") since the Dems were swept into power in the last election, it’s enough to make you want to cry.

The above list of NH House-passed items is bad enough. But the latest move by our elected "leaders" is the hardest one of them all to swallow–

Hmmm- I wonder why this was done over the Easter holiday weekend? With all the festivities, people might not pay much attention and miss what’s happening. You don’t think this was done on purpose, do you?

I received the following in an email. It details what those who wish to preserve NH as we know it can do…
The liberal Republicans, Democrats and homosexuals are pushing through same sex civil unions which, once the N.H. Supreme Court gets a hold of it, will turn into same sex marriage because this is exactly what it is anyway. The liberal Republicans have decided to fast track this legislation by bringing it before the Senate Judiciary Committee at
1:15 PM on Tuesday, 10 April 2007.
The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing will be held inside Representative Hall in the Capital building. It is quite evident that the Liberal Republicans, Democrats and the homosexuals are fast tracking this piece of ungodly legislation during the most important holiday weekend to Christians there is, Easter Sunday for two reasons:
