NH School Tax Credit Challenged

I don’t have time to fisk the particulars yet but the ACLU and Barry Lynn of American’s United for the Separation of Church and State have filed a suit declaring the recently passed new Hampshire School Scholarship tax credit unconstitutional because it would (could) divert tax dollars to be spent at Religious schools.

Actually. .. It would allow business owners to keep more of what they earn from being tax dollars if they agree to offer scholarships out of their own pockets to students who might otherwise be prohibited from attending private schools.

So here’s a question. Shouldn’t (Rev.) Barry Lynn and the ACLU file a suit against everyone who ever gave money to the collection plate or donated it to a religious charity, organization, or group? After all, if they do that, they can’t spend it on gas (taxed), or tobacco (taxed) or pay their property taxes with it, so (technically) they have all diverted those potentially taxable dollars to a (so-called unconstitutional) religious purpose.

Guest post by Ed Naile, Chair of the Coalition of NH Taxpayers: A note to out-of-state Property Owners – Vote!

by Skip

Ed Naile, long time registered Democrat and ‘Grok friend, asked us to publish this. Given that out-of-state student “residents” took full advantage of the new Voter ID law and the Judge Lewis’s ruling on it, you should as well. After all, you pay taxes here – they only take advantage of the taxes spent. Dear … Read more

You Want The Truth? You Can’t Handle The Truth!

by Steve MacDonald

Comments are often a great source of amusement, and often suitable for follow up material. In this instance, in response to my post about Legally stealing elections with out of state voters who just happen to be in New Hampshire, an anonymous commenter using the handle “Speak the Truth” suggested that we just let it go.

Move On. We have an enormous task in front of us – “we” have to EDUCATE the public with the TRUTH. “Dumb cannot be solved with Dumber”

Really?

Here is my response, some “education” about why we can’t move on…

NH AG to Challenge Judge Lewis Decision On Domicile

by Steve MacDonald

I confess I am surprised. The New Hampshire Attorney General will appeal the decision earlier this week, that would have suspended the new voter registration requirements for Domicile to vote in New Hampshire.

One quick note: The articel suggests that the ruling had no affect on the Voter ID law, but I would take issue with that. On paper the ID law is not affected, but if domicile does not matter, then Voter ID does not do everything it is intended to do. The point of Voter ID is to ensure that the person voting is the person they claim to be; a legal, eligible voter, and state resident of the precinct in which they are voting. If it makes no difference where you are from, then all the ID law does is affirm that the out of state voter stealing New Hampshire votes is who they say they are. I have called it a blow to Voter ID law because I believe it is. And I’m not alone.

To quote Secretary of State Bill Gardner, who apparently supports the Domicile law as passed…

“You can be a resident of many places but with domicile, you are establishing one unique place as your home to the exclusion of all others,” Gardner said. “If you establish domicile here, it means something, it means you have certain rights and responsibilities.”

Where Does Hannah Rivers Actually “Live?” (Hint: It doesn’t matter)

by Steve MacDonald

Domicile, Domicile, where for art thou Domicile? Or perhaps, ” A transient Domicile by any other name would be as….whatever.” If you are an out of state college student where you live doesn’t matter, so where you vote does not matter either, and when I say doesn’t matter, I mean it doesn’t matter where in New Hampshire.

Case in point. The ACLU and League of Women Voters petition, the one that Judge John Lewis more or less just signed off on in the blink of an eye, lists the first petitioner as Hannah Rivers. On the petition she lists her ‘residence’ as Durham New Hampshire. But she hails from Raymond Nebraska, has a drivers license issued by the state of Nebraska and, presumably, wants to vote in Durham in November.

Question: So can out of state students just pick and choose which towns or cities they can vote in, based–presumably–on wherever the Democrat party or their liberal professors, need a ballot box stuffed?

Is NH Superior Court Justice John Lewis’ Wife Named Cindy? (Updated and bumped)

by Steve MacDonald

[Update: Yes, Virgina, Democrat donor Cindy Lewis, IS Judge Lewis’ wife. I wonder what other left wing connections we will find if we keep looking?]

Judge John ‘The Fixer” Lewis threw the State constitution under the bus when he announced Monday that, ‘Hell yeah out of state students with no plans to remain in New Hampshire can and should vote here…even on amendments to the New Hampshire State Constitution.

Nothing quite like a judge who is probably sworn to protect it, doing their part to make sure anyone from anywhere gets to vote on what goes in it.

In the interest of public disclosure, seeing as this particular judge from Durham, very promptly decided the matter in the favor of left leaning advocacy groups representing a traditionally Democrat voting block, wishing to exert outside influence on local elections, I went looking for some campaign donation history on the Lewis family.

If Cindy Lewis of Durham NH is Judge Lewis’ wife, well we’ve got something to talk about.
