How About Running for Office – Yes, You!

May 18, 2022 Steve MacDonald

We elect our legislators every two years, and 2022 is a state election year. Primary elections for the NH State Senate and House of Representatives are in four short months, and the general election is in six months. A lot can happen in that time. Will you be part of ensuring a bright future for … Read more

The Tough Sh!t Act

May 15, 2022May 15, 2022 Ian Underwood

Not too long ago I was sitting in a regular meeting of a regional Republican committee, listening to (mostly older) people talk about how schools have changed over the years — since they were in school, and since their kids were in school. One guy said that when his kids wanted to play baseball or football, he had to pay for their uniforms, help pay for travel, and so on. Someone asked him:

Call your NH Senator Now: Create a Safe Haven for the Preborn

April 20, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Tomorrow, the New Hampshire Senate will vote on HB 1609. Although this bill was originally introduced as a gutting bill designed to totally nullify our 24-week abortion ban—the Fetal Life Protection Act—the bill was fortunately curtailed by the New Hampshire House Finance Committee before being passed by the full House.

NH House Republican Leadership Are Ushering in Unlimited Abortion

April 8, 2022 Cornerstone Action

On April 13, the NH House Judiciary Committee will hear Senate Bill 399. Although this bill was introduced to repeal the Fetal Life Protection Act—New Hampshire’s only protection for the late-term pre-born—it was then amended by the NH Senate into a form that Cornerstone supports.

Celebrate A Week Full of Victory!

March 19, 2022March 18, 2022 Op-Ed

There is so much good news to report, so I’ll just start with the best: The effort of DCYF to take RebuildNH co-founder JR Hoell’s children—because he gave his son ivermectin—was dismissed today in Family Court.

So Kids, What Did We Learn From Wednesday’s House Session (03/16/22)?

March 18, 2022March 17, 2022 Judy Aron

We learned that between 9 am and 10:00 pm (lunch and dinner break included) we were able to vote on around 71 House bills, and pass some really great things for the people of NH. House members truly earned their princely sum of $200 just with this grueling day alone.

Your State House 03/11/22: What a Busy Week!

January 12, 2025March 16, 2022 Carol McGuire

My committee met this week to recommend all our remaining House bills. First, we heard HB 1256, which changed two positions in the department of veterans’ affairs from classified to unclassified, changed the job titles, and clarified their duties. One member of the committee disliked the way the bill was written and presented an amendment … Read more

It’s Time to Roll Back Executive Rule Making Authority on Vaccine Mandates

February 15, 2022 Op-Ed

Over time, it seems that too much power and authority works its way into the executive branch. However well-intended, this transfer of law-making authority needs to be restored to the legislative branch.

Your State House 02/11/22: Emergency Powers, Occupational Licensing, Retirement Raises, …

January 12, 2025February 14, 2022 Carol McGuire

This week, the House continued with committee work. My committee heard HB 1321, which repealed all the changes we had made to the governor’s emergency powers in the last year, including the sponsor’s own HB 1037. That was recommended to be killed, 17-1. HB 1274, establishing a study committee on state agencies’ solid waste practices, … Read more

At Least Be Truthful about the Word “Ask” When Talking about Legislation, Eh?

January 10, 2022 Skip

I find that too many politicians try to sugarcoat the velvet-covered steel fist that is Government. Even those on the Right do so from time to time. Now, I know that the Left deliberately uses vague pronouncements and is very imprecise in their language.

Sure Thing, Murder Turtle – Say The Quiet Part Out Loud (No Legislative Agenda if Senate Goes Republican)

January 3, 2022January 3, 2022 Skip

This just ANNOYS the heck out of me. Every time I see that the Democrats take power, we see the “Dense Pack” attack happen 2 minutes after all the oaths (not that they seem to mean much lately) are “promised” and the chamber is called into session.

With New OSHA Rules Slated for Jan. 4, The Legislature Must Meet to Legally Defend NH Workers.

November 4, 2021 Op-Ed

OSHA has issued its Emergency Temporary Standard for COVID-19 vaccination and testing for all employers with 100 employees or more. Jab or no job: the deadline for 84 million employees is January 4!

Legislature Needs to Pass a Bill That Prohibits Mandatory Vaccination

August 23, 2021 Op-Ed

I plead with all of you to work together and pass a bill for NH citizens that makes it illegal that any company requires its workers or contractors to be vaccinated or show proof of being vaccinated.

Isn’t the School Board Supposed to Know What Their Powers Are (Or How They Got Them)?

August 3, 2021 Skip

I’m in the process of suing the Gilford School Board for not following the law in their own policies. Every School Board has a lot of Policies covering how they are to act, and governance matters.

603 Alliance RevCon 2021 – Neil Hubacker: “Passing Bills, Writing a Right-to-Know request”

July 29, 2021 Skip

This is Parts 1-4 of the 603 Alliance’s RevCon 2021 presentation of Concord 101 – Passing a bill and Writing a Right-to-Know request” with Neil Hubacker (Director, Church Ambassador Network). RevCon was the brainchild of the 603 Alliance that saw that ordinary folks, Right AND Left, were rising up to fight Critical Race Theory that … Read more

Your State House 7/2/21

January 12, 2025July 1, 2021 Carol McGuire

This year I was the prime sponsor of eight bills and co-sponsored thirteen more. Of my prime bills, five have passed and four have been signed into law: HB 70, authorizing a certificate for eyebrow microblading rather than a full tattoo license; HB94, making nearly all professional licenses valid for two years, rather than one; … Read more

Here’s A Trump Executive Order I’m Not Sorry to See Canceled

May 1, 2021 Skip

While Trump was deleting regulations (generally), he esentially demanded that the ATF “regulate” bump stocks as machine guns after the Las Vegas shooting that killed 58 people. The problem is that an Executive Order can’t override, either by deleting or adding to, established Law.
