Honor Your Oath

Honor your oath

Honor your Oaths of office? When you get compared to this….

by Skip

…it looks like Politicians, as an entire class, are being seen for how they act.  Imagine that!  Compared to Criminals who break laws. Actually, in a lot of cases, that sign is apt. We see elected officials all the time, on both sides of the aisle here in NH, break not only their actual oaths … Read more

by Op-Ed

Does the NH General Court (NH House, NH Senate) only serve the will of the political parties and no longer the will of the people?

Tyranny – Some might say it is already here, Mr. President

by Skip

Tyranny:  Cruel and oppressive government or rule.

RealClearPolitics – PRESIDENT OBAMA:

Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They’ll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can’t be trusted.

Mr. President, but what of these revelations from the last few days?

  •  Our government lied to us concerning the deaths of 4 Americans
  • The most feared department in the Government, the IRS has been used to actively target political enemies

Should we, really, reject these voices?

by Steve MacDonald

Freemont Republican House Rep Dan Itse responds to previous letters and editorials from the Union Leader and Chuck Douglas–in the Union Leader–regarding the Honor Your Oath Rally and the persistent effort by them and others to insist that this was just another gun rally whose premis is flawed. Rep Itse does a fine job of … Read more

Sorry It’s Been So Quiet Today…

by Steve MacDonald

I guess we all get busy on the same day. I actually have a half dozen great things to write about and no time to do it.  Hint? Something Strange and infuriating may be afoot at the New Hampshire Vets Home. Someone suggested that some on the right should be embarrassed with the Honor Your Oath Rally … Read more

Honoring your Oath? Others seem to believe your oath to the Constitution is not mere words. Here’s another one: Accountability

by Skip

Accountability – a most hated word in politics.  Oh sure, whoever the Political Class doesn’t like will be held to such (after all, they wield the power).  But they never like it when the masses play the “turnabout fair play” game (or journalists, from what I seem, but I repeat myself as many in journalism are now card carrying members of the Political Class).  Oh to be sure, we hear the high minded platitudes about “elections are when voters hold us accountable”  – but some don’t like it when we do.  However, what to do during the “in-between” times when recalls are not an option and you think that someone has violated their promise to voters?  Hmm, this seems to be novel (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Emergency Verified Complaint

2) 12 members of the New Hampshire House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee

For

Breach of Oath of Office

and
Violation of 18 USC § 241 – Conspiracy against Rights

“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves: and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion.” Thomas Jefferson 1820

I, ________________________ one of the People of New Hampshire, come forward to complain against Stephen Shurtleff and 188 other members of the New Hampshire House of Representatives for Breaching their Oaths of Office and Conspiring against My Rights. I hereby present facts known and unknown to you in support of this complaint.

1. Stephen Shurtleff, a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, for the purpose of “accepting the trust” according to Article 84 of the New Hampshire Constitution, has sworn or affirmed the following Oaths.

More of the document after the jump.  So, why SHOULDN’T we hold our elected and appointed officials accountable for the words they utter as the first action of their terms, and to use those solemn words against which to measure their future actions?  Shouldn’t they ALWAYS be mindful of what they have promised?
