The Union Leader has a piece on a Constitutional Amendment that died years ago: the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment). The long and short of it is that didn’t pass within the time period set by Congress.

Why is the Nashua League of Women Voters Manager Trying to Dox a Woman?
You’ve probably already seen the insanity from NH Democrats over a Facebook page posting the actual words and actions of Nashua Alderman and NH State Representative Jan Schmidt. For some reason, rather than just leave well enough alone, these leftists keep digging themselves into a deeper hole. It’s unclear why but it’s also getting dangerous. … Read more
Peterborough – SHUT UP (the “Proper Role of Government”). Perfect example of “Government over People”
by Skip
So, our Founders decided to create a nation in which citizens had a government; what Kate Coons and Ivy Vann are doing is turning that upside down to have subjects for their Government. So after doing the videos, and having gotten that “strange” look (er, sour?) from Kate Coons when she asked about what I … Read more
And back to Peterborough we go – League of Women Voters trying to muck things up….again?
by Op-Ed
By Christopher Maidment Citizen Petition articles are likely nothing new to you, being good citizens of New Hampshire, but just in case, a citizen’s petition is when at least 25 citizens (under normal circumstances) gather signatures together and add an amendment to a town warrant. It’s a way of keeping the powers that be in … Read more
“What is the NH League of Women Voters Afraid of in Peterborough?” Yeah, GraniteGrok has a builtin legal team
by Skip
Indeed, we do. Not that we have had need of it in the past… Sidenote: well, maybe one time – when Carol Shea-Porter “stole” one of my images and used it in her campagn ads. Didn’t have the money to sue at the time. …and hopefully have no need to really have on in the … Read more
“What is the NH League of Women Voters Afraid of in Peterborough?” So, we emailed folks – Part 2
by Skip
So the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript emailed with us (and flamed out in a Twitter flame war). The next step was to turn in the other direction and email the League of Women Voters’ Peterborough organizer: On May 3, 2019, at 11:52 AM, Skip <Skip@granitegrok.com> wrote: Dear Ms Coon, I am in receipt of your email missive … Read more
“What is the NH League of Women Voters Afraid of in Peterborough?” Not just GraniteGrok took note of the restrictions
by Skip
And that would be the Peterborough Republican Committee. Glad to see that some Republicans “are mad as hell and aren’t gonna take it any more!”.

“What is the NH League of Women Voters Afraid of in Peterborough?” I guess, GraniteGrok
by Skip
OK, perhaps a bit of hyperbole in that title but we made a difference. And we were only able to make a difference because a reader acted as our eyes and ears and clued us in. And yes, GraniteGrok will now be at the Peterborough League of Women Voters’ Candidate night – at least videoing … Read more
Candidate Forum in Peterborough Changes Policy: Will Now Allow Recording
Skip will have more inside baseball on this later but after a series of emails and back and forths – following our publication of this, a candidates night in Peterborough that had prohibited video recording will now allow it.
What is the NH League of Women Voters Afraid of in Peterborough?
The New Hampshire League of Women Voters is sponsoring a ‘candidates forum’ in Peterborough, and they’ve instituted a near-total media blackout. No recording will be permitted. Why? Well, the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript will be there to control the message.
You Want The Truth? You Can’t Handle The Truth!
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…
Where Does Hannah Rivers Actually “Live?” (Hint: It doesn’t matter)
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?

NH Voter ID Law Challanged by Democrat Front Groups Too Stupid To Be Able To Breathe on Their Own
This is really just too good to be true, right? The Left Wing League of Women Voters and the American Uncivil Left-Wing-Liberties Union, have filed suit in New Hampshire on behalf of four “out of state college students” who want to vote here, but don’t want to be subject to any other laws pertaining to domicile.
Follow the stupidity closely because Democrats all over the state of New Hampshire are going to want to pile on to this, and you will want to make sure you are prepared to repeat what I am about to tell you so that you may smote them where they stand.
GrokTV Event-NH Senate hearing: Voter ID / SB289 – Testimony by NH Deputy Sec. of State David Scanlan and President Patricia of the City and Town Clerks Association, and others!
by Skip
This post has all of the other testimony, pro and con, on SB289 relative to having to present a valid picture ID in order to vote in NH elections. This first one is NH Deputy Sec. of State David Scanlan bringing the news that his department is supporting this bill and its amendment by Senator Prescott
In addition, President Patricia Piecuch of the City and Town Clerks Association was also testifying in favor of the bill (after the jump).
Also testifying were the following:
- Doug McNutt (AARP) – in opposition
- Skip Murphy (why, that’s ME!) – in favor
- Melissa Madden (America Votes) – in opposition
- Sam Langley – in opposition
- Charles Balban (NH Alliance for Retired Americans) – in opposition
- Ryan Donnelly (Granite State Independent Living) – in opposition
- Michael Skibbie (Disability Rights Center) – in opposition
- Claire Ebel (NH Civil Liberties Union) – in opposition
- Karen Ashwell (?) (League of Women Voters) – in opposition
- Caitlan Rollo (Granite State Progress) – in opposition
Please note that the loud typing clacking came from the committee aide, Debra Martone, and especially from Kevin Landrigan (Nashua Telegraph); nothing I can do about it…
League of Women Voters Now Hissing at Project Veritas Video
by Rick Olson
“Perhaps that suspicion of fraud enhances the flavor.” —C. S. Forester
The New Hampshire League of Women Voters call James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas video, “A Fraud.” The League has called for the prosecution of, “these out of state con-artists.” As Reported in today’s edition of the New Hampshire Union Leader. Let the slash and burn begin, I say! These types of fights are the stuff dreams are made of.
Juxtaposing this anti-voter ID push-back with the viewpoint of the average citizen who votes, but does not dabble in activist partisan rancor, an overwhelming majority of those citizens agree it is perfectly reasonable to show who one is to vote on election days. Maintaining the integrity of a system, intended to incorporate the duty of one person, one vote, gels with average sensibilities and common sense.
GSFTC Member Organization Spotlight -NH Citizens Alliance
There are a number of groups that the Left wing Granite State ‘Fare’ Tax Coalition highlights on it’s web site. It’s your typical collection of "non-non-partisan" interests like the State Employes Union of NH (That’s the local SEIU 1984). The AFSC-which is the NH Chapter of a global leftist movement supported by all the nicest left wing foundations. The League of Women Voters of course. And there is even a who’s-who of left wing, NH social justice churches and their political arms, all promoting socialist activism and statist policy from the pulpit down to on the ground left wing activism.
All of these groups warrant, and will receive, a proper vetting, but today I would like to focus on a special cog in the leftist machine of the so-called non-partisan GSFTC, one that happens to be very active in New Hampshire on its own; the NHCA. The NHCA is the New Hampshire Citizens Alliance. (You may remember their executive director, Sarah Chaisson Warner? She received some unwanted attention after some remarks she made back in March of 2010. See also Here from the NHTPC.) The New Hampshire citizens alliance is…(drum-roll please)
…a statewide nonprofit, nonpartisan organization devoted to social, economic, and political justice.
A Non-partisan organization devoted to social, economic, and political justice? Too bad that’s just not possible. There are no right wing groups seeking these ethereal ends. These are buzz-words, Orwellian constructs, created by statist agenda-driven socialists to mislead people. So the NHCA couldn’t be "non-partisan" if they tried. But you don’t have to take my word for it. Just look at who they associate with and what they support.
The Very Partisan Granite State Fair Tax Coalition Part II
The Granite State Fair Tax Coalition (GSFTC–Greedy Socialists Frisking TaxPayers Cash) is a partisan non-profit, which for years has insisted it is a non-partisan group advocating an income tax in New Hampshire. But the GSFTC is non-partisan the way MSNBC is. They use the dark side equivalent of the Jedi mind trick. ‘The force can have a strong influence on the weak minded.” And while there is nothing wrong with being a left wing partisan group, started by a social-justice driven religious organization, to advocate for a top down income tax, there is something wrong with acting like this is a non-partisan effort.
Our first look at the partisan make up of the GSFTC (God Says Fleece Taxpayers for Christ) was a rundown of their advisory board. This revealed a panel of progressive and left wing water-carriers, who provide cover and material support for a specific leftist agenda: a state income tax. They are democrats and democrat supporters, willing to use class warfare and a faux-morality-cum-guilt complex media campaign, to advocate for that state income tax. Fish swim, birds fly, democrats spend and so must tax. To insist they are non-partisan suggests a mental state that is non compos mentis. Or to be a bit more colloquial; They are just a bunch of typical leftists.
