NH State Rep Gregg Hough’s Op-Ed is getting some legs, especially after what happened yesterday. There are a lot of ticked off people – and I’m not talking about the Left either (THAT will be another post – just know they are just one inch away from putting anyone that vote for Trump either into … Read more
To their credit, Right Voter has lined up and rolled out some well know New Hampshire Republicans to endorse Steve Duprey for RNC Committeeman. And while Duprey may be a great guy (I don’t know him), his record on the Platform is not. Are his endorsers prepared to carry that weight?
Well, we did cover the NH GOP Convention where both a new Chair and Vice-Chair were chosen: Steve Stepanek and Pam Tucker. Did an interview with Steve at the end of that gathering and my take away was that things were going to be different. Given that I’m on most political email distros in the … Read more

Too many State Reps get away with positioning themselves one way and then voting an entirely different way. On the “R” side of the fence, we always seem to have a handful of Republicans who vote with the Democrat platform more often than they vote with the GOP. CarolynGargasz (R, Hollis) has straddled that line over the years, occasionally falling below a 50% rating from the House Republican Alliance (HRA), and sometimes venturing as high as the mid-fifties.
Judging from yesterday’s results, Hollis GOP voters have finally had enough. After 18 years as State Rep, Gargasz placed a distant fourth in a four-way primary.
This didn’t happen by accident, and it didn’t happen without some effort.
Former gubernatorial candidate Andrew Hemingway shares his thoughts on last Weeks first ever conservative NH caucus.
The opening line from Instapundit that caught my eye: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE TEA PARTY BECOME A TRUE THIRD PARTY, THIS IS HOW TO BRING IT ABOUT: Indeed – and the Republican Party elites will only have themselves to blame. If Republican Leadership thinks that it has a lock on the Right of … Read more
There’s an ad on Craigslist for professional political workers. (the entire ad is on the jump).
Grassroots solutions, which claims to be a national field organization that is all about helping coordinate grassroots political efforts, is hiring people to help Planned Parenthood of Northern New England do door to door canvassing in the Concord and Manchester Area to promote pro-abortion candidates (women’s health)…that would be Democrats. You get $100/hour plus gas allowance.
I have a lot of questions. Like how can it be grassroots if you pay $100.00 per hour? Or, how is it that Planned Parenthood of Northern New England can afford to run this canvassing campaign but can’t run their business model without my tax dollars?
The New Hampshire Republican Volunteer Coalition (NHRVC) was founded in the wake of the November 2008 elections to recruit, train, and support GOP activists and campaign volunteers in New Hampshire. Our mission was to build a grassroots coalition of highly motivated activists working to elect principled Republicans who stand for low taxes, fiscal responsibility, free enterprise, individual liberty, and most importantly, the U.S. and NH Constitutions.
We grew from just a handful of people trading emails on a Yahoo group to over 4000 members of our Facebook Group, an accomplishment for which I take no credit myself. But as we have grown, and each of our lives has changed, other factors have made it imperative that we find new and efficient ways to coordinate and consolidate these efforts. It has also become apparent that we are duplicating work being done by other grassroots groups in New Hampshire. So while the mission is still as relevant as ever, to continue that mission effectively the NHRVC must adapt.
This is the last of the questions that Cliff Hurst that the ‘Grok asked – one near and dear to GraniteGrok and to many others that brings up the event where Jack Kimball was forced out of the Chairmanship of the NH GOP (even as technically, it was a resignation): What is your message to … Read more
Grassroots is at the root of all politics in New Hampshire these days (most days really) and in response to that the Sunday News has taken notice, publishing an article this morning by Shawne K. Whikham which highlights a handful of groups from around the state.
