Politboro… I mean Congress, tells insurer, shut up, or else!

  Guest Post by Ellen Sauerbrey  In an outrageous and un-American attack on dissent aimed at Humana Inc., a major health insurer is being investigated for the crime of communicating its concerns about health care legislation to its enrollees. Recently, Humana sent a mailing to seniors subscribed to the Medicare Advantage Program warning that "millions … Read more

First, the Shea-Porter fiasco:      What a difference a couple days makes. … Read more

Carol Shea Porter: “Not going back and forth on the Constitution”

Here is 1st CD Congresswoman Carol Shea Porter –in response to a question at Saturday’s Portsmouth, NH town hall meeting– reading a prepared statement provided for her as to why nationalizing the health care system and mandating insurance is, in fact, Constitutional. This comes days after a blunder in which she took heat for claiming the Constitution … Read more

Local Democrats hold a picnic and a Tea Party breaks out…

shabby outfit 

 Shabby sign seems so fitting… 

On Sunday, July 26, the Belknap County Democrats held their summer picnic. With a sparse turnout and little visible enthusiasm save a few mournful violinists, from the outside looking in it was a pretty lame affair. Hard to believe this is a cog in the vaunted Democratic machine that so handily beat the Republicans just a short while back.

gathered enemies of liberty

Local faithful gather around grill with the featured speaker, Peggo Hodes (white top, black skirt), wife of Rep Paul Hodes (NH-2), the presumptive Democratic nominee for the US Senate race in 2010. He can hang out with fat-cat lobbyists, but can’t picnic with Laconians, apparently.

The affair was, however, not lacking in excitement for very long, because suddenly, as if out of nowhere, a Tea Party broke out…

Thus raining on the Democrats’ proverbial parade..

 Forces of freedom and liberty on the march, taking it right to the root of the threat.

The group grew, prompting a man passing by in his truck with his 2-year old to stop and ask to join in the march, so moved was he by the sentiment the Tea Partiers expressed, and the message being delivered to the majority Dems:

My name is Barry. Let me be clear…

Guest post by Ken St. Cyr My name is Barry. Here is my story… Since the Constitution was written 20 centuries ago, we have had many Supreme Court justices. We have also had 10,000 people killed by one tornado in Kansas. Since I have been president, I’ve now been in 57 states. I think one … Read more

Speaking truth to power.

The pushback continues…

Along with Tea Party rallies and demonstrations popping up all around the country, including those at the doorsteps of congressional offices, we are witnessing yet another vehicle folks are taking advantage of in expressing anger and frustration with what their so-called "leaders" have been doing on their behalf down in Washington: speaking out at various … Read more

Welcome to the Police States of America. It’s happening and it’s closer to home than you’d think…

Death of only TRUE First Amendment rally in America? Is “Live Free or Die” DOA?

LFOD Rally

Got an email from Jean Coutu, organizer of the Live Free or Die Rally:

The Town’s demands for a site plan review subject to all boards and abutters’ approvals drove in the death nail on the LFOD Rally.

Today the ACLU refused to intervene due to firearms being at the rally.

appleseed shoot

We have contacted hundreds of people for help and unless someone is brave enough to come forward soon, it maybe the first case of a true first amendment event squashed in America. What’s next? Porc Fest? The Tea Parties? The Million Man Marijuana March? The article from the Canada Free Press reprinted below is being sent far and wide in order to try and recruit help as a last ditch effort. The event isn’t canceled, but, could be soon.

End of Live Free or Die Rally end of free assembly for America?

By Judi McLeod and Jean Coutu
Saturday, May 30, 2009

Putting it in the vernacular of little people everywhere: “The worst has happened”.

The 4th Annual New Hampshire Live Free or Die Rally is quickly sinking into a quagmire of bureaucratic red tape, and with no 11th hour reprieve on the horizon, chief organizer Jean Coutu may have to cancel.

Billed as the All Free, Only TRUE First Amendment Rally in the U.S., this years Live Free or Die Rally is scheduled for August 21, 22 and 23.

“It looks like it’s finally over.  Not just for us, but for the right to assemble, Coutu wrote Canada Free Press (CFP) in an email today.  “Though I don’t agree with the ACLU on everything, almost every year the ACLU has gone after city hall bureaucrats to get our permits.”

The landscape has changed, dissent is being suppressed in America and now the ACLU is refusing to back the LFDR, in part because of the rally’s Appleseed Project Instructional Shoot Feature–even though it meets all state ordinances.

This is not a good sign for the scores of Tea Parties planned for July 4th. Politically correct and compromised by stimulus money, the bureaucrats of town and city halls decide whether Tea Parties and rallies can be held in their jurisdictions.

Coutu sees it as the death of the right to assemble in President Barack Obama’s USA.

Jean also included the message he is trying to get out to supporters and liberty-loving people everywhere:

Who were those guys, anyway?

We don’t often engage in shameless self-promotion, except when circumstances warrant. Both Skip and I were honored to have been asked to address the Tea Party this past Wednesday in Manchester.

Manchester Tea Party: Signs ‘o the times…

The. Worst. Moderator. Ever.

I got this from our friends at the CNHT. I used to think that George Roberts of Gilmanton was the worst Town moderator ever (He botched up the ballots at a vote so bad one year– the year that the Town of Gilmanton appeared to have passed SB2– that the vote total could never be … Read more

“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” George Washington

I am not going to talk about how Mr. Obama stole the nomination from Hillary Clinton. I am not going to talk about widespread voter fraud involving Acorn in the Obama camp, both in the primaries and general election. I am not going to talk about how all the Obama’s men either had influence in his life or helped him to his meteoric rise to power. I am not going to talk about Obama’s pre-paid Credit Card Fraud problem. I am not going to talk about how Radical Muslims paid Obama’s way through college. I am not going to talk about Obama’s Middle East Studies Mentors. I am not going to talk about Obama’s Voodoo Economics. I am not going to talk about the Logan Act when Mr. Obama did not speak responsibly when he went to Europe, Iraq and also a trip in 2006 to Kenya to meet with Odinga.

No, I am not going to talk about any of them, since none of those issues apparently mattered to those who voted for him. They elected him despite knowing those facts. So, I concede, he won the election by receiving more votes than Senator McCain who seemed he desperately wanted to wrap things up and throw in the towel.

However, I am truly disturbed. I do want to talk about the fears that are rampantly mounting, concerning the question of Mr. Obama being a natural born U.S. citizen, as required by the Constitution, to run for the office of the presidency of the United States. These fears are based on three elements:

  • The failure of the DNC to execute a thorough vetting
       process, ensuring Mr. Obama is a Natural Born U.S Citizen.
  • The failure of Mr. Obama to provide a Vault Birth Certificate.
  • The failure of big media to perform its function as the
       watchdog "Fourth Branch" of the government.

This issue led Philip J. Berg, a long time Democrat and attorney, to file suit against Barack H. Obama, (Lawsuit Continues) challenging Senator Obama’s lack of  "qualification" to serve as President of the United States. He filed a Writ of Certiorari in the United States Supreme Court on October 30, 2008, requesting a review of the United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Judge Surrick’s dismissal of Philip J. Berg’s lawsuit against Barack H. Obama, Jr., the DNC and the other co-Defendants.

According to Berg, Obama is not eligible to be president. He says Obama was born in Kenya and he carries an Indonesian passport and became an Indonesian citizen when his stepfather adopted him while going to school in Indonesia. In addition, Mr. Obama’s parental grandmother in Kenya, has publicly stated that she attended his birth at a hospital in Mombosa, Kenya, in 1961.

Ironically, Linda Lingle, the Governor of Hawaii, ordered to seal his birth records shortly after Mr. Obama’s recent trip to Hawaii. That begs the question:  What is he hiding?  Why not just open his records, if there is nothing to hide? In an extraordinary gesture, honorable U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick tossed out the suit claiming citizens do not have any standing to challenge the constitutionality of the chargers.
