Money Man Behind Marsy’s Law Busted for Possession and Alleged Drug Trafficking

September 26, 2018August 11, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Henry Nicholas III dumped a small fortune into the pockets of lawyers and lobbyists in New Hampshire to hoist his proposed constitutional amendment (CACR22) on the Granite State. Commonly known as Marsy’s Law, it rolled into the state with bipartisan backing and a governor eager to sign it. At least until the activist community peeled back the onion to reveal the rot inside.

A bi-partisan reversal of fortune killed CACR22 by a vote of 284-51. Advocates promised it will be back but will their sugar-daddy be writing checks from prison? Henry Nicholas III was arrested in Las Vegas yesterday in possession of copious amounts of drugs and on suspicion of trafficking.

RightOnline 2012 – Breitbart is Here

Plenty of things happened at the RightOnline conference in Las Vegas last weekend but not one of them occurred without the understanding that there was something we all had to do. Something more important than anything we had done previously. Wherever we were as bloggers or new media journalists we had to step up our game.

Andrew Breitbart was no longer there to give us a rhetorical kick in the backside or more importantly to simply lead by doing. Breitbart would no longer be strolling amidst union protesters or walking into NetRoots to challenge the left or their ideas to their faces. Andrew Breitbart was no longer there to challenge us to do those things. Or was he?

In reality, Breitbart was everywhere at RightOline, telling us to get off our asses and expose the left for what they are, not just yesterday, or today, but tomorrow and every day after that. Imploring us to get out of our comfort zones and challenge everything. Reminding us that all we had to do was show up and they would expose themselves.

It reminded me of the moment when I decided that I was done with my years of lurking on blogs and posting or commenting anonymously.

Several other Groksters and NH bloggers are also sitting in airports, or will be, from various places, headed to the same destination. So with any luck, we’ll have plenty of content coming your way throughout the Weekend. I’m … Read more
