Where did my country go? Where is my beloved freedom? Where is the Constitution hiding out? What happened to the LIVE FREE OR DIE state?
Live Free or Die
“Everyone wants to Live Free or Die”
Over at The Conservative Treehouse.com Sundance wants to know what is going on in everyone’s areas. What the compliance looks like. “Ground Reports from the Rebel Alliance,” it says.
ReOpenNH Concord Rally MicroInterview with Ruth
Soon after I had talked with Anne Copp, I ran into Ruth and asked if she had time for a quick interview: She not only is ticked that she has to protest to get her Rights back but that the Media has been lying to us (hey, Media, you listenin’?). And she, too, is worried … Read more
ReOpenNH Concord Rally – MicroIntervew with Keith Ammon
No, he’s not Jason Osborne….sigh…it was Keith. Yep, what a way to start an interview – just MANGLE the opening due to my inability to get peoples’ names straight.
ReOpenNH Concord Rally MicroInterview with a family of Small Business Owners
At the Reopen NH Rally in Concord I spoke with some small business owners who, having been deemed to be “non-essential” by Governor Sununu, are not only losing money but are on that cusp of losing it all.
ReOpenNH Concord Rally MicroInterview with Anne Copp
I forgot to mention in my earlier post that not only those valuing Freedom over “Health & Security” were showing up at the rally but the State Police showed up as well.
ReOpenNH Concord Rally – Groksters Assemble
OK, a bit later than Steve’s posts but hey, life happens in between “stuff.” Anyways, a few videos coming up.
ReOpenNH – Before the Rally and sometime during the middle: Govt signs
Heh! I was not surprised when I got to the State House just a tad before 11am (the Rally has been advertised to start around noon); no one was there. It was clear, however, that the Government agencies could read and monitor social media as well as anyone else and had prepared a welcome sign … Read more
Emergency order will change state motto
A source close to the governor has indicated that another emergency order will be issued in the next few days, changing the state motto from Live Free or Die (which is now obsolete) to Public Health Trumps Everything (a direct quote from the governor, which more accurately reflects the new reality within the state).
Governor Sununu – Tear Down This “Wall”
We’ve been circling this for weeks. Examining it with our heads tilted, squinty-eyed. Poking at it with a stick. The use of emergency orders to restrict commerce. Confine citizens. All in the name of health and safety. All of which have a very limited shelf life. As in, times up!
Democrats Campaign for Sununu ahead of State of the State
First off, let me remind Governor Sununu to use the word ‘beclown’ in his State of the State. Pet mission. Secondly, thank you to the Democrats for continuing to campaign for Sununu by reminding the electorate all he did to protect the New Hampshire Advantage and the Live Free or Die State. Ahead of today’s … Read more
Notable Quote – Tim from Nashua
Mike’s post “Babylon Bee: Sanders Confused By NH Motto” uses the old tried and true formula – just enough truth to be believable and in this case, the butt of the satire is sufficiently known not to be a Liberty and Freedom kind of guy:
That would be Leo Plante: “Dublin Republican seeks state office in Cheshire House District 9”
A defense of the true meaning of “Life Free or Die”. I was surprised to see that the Keene Sentinel ran a rather even handed piece on a rather new ‘Grok Friend of ours (he even asked us to come and speak to the Dublin Area GOP!), Leo Plante. It’s tough out there in that … Read more
DHHS Targets ANOTHER Small Farm for Raw Milk Product
Another small farmer in New Hampshire has been warned by the Department of Health and Human Services that they better stop selling raw milk products, lest they face $500 fines per day. This is the second time just this month that such a letter has been received by a small farmer, just trying to make … Read more
Massachusetts Moulton Campaigns by Trashing Live Free or Die Way of Life
It’s pretty bold for a #FITN Candidate, or any candidate for that matter, to come to New Hampshire and tell Granite Staters that we’re doing things wrong. It’s pretty rich, too, coming from a Nanny-stater like Seth Moulton. Speaking with James Pindell from the Globe after an event in Windham, he decided to defend his attack on our Live Free or Die way of life.
NH Bills that are going to receive vetoes from Gov. Sununu
There has been a lot of angst from you, GraniteGrok readers, that I have seen both here in comments here on the ‘Grok as well as on Facebook. Most of them surround “where is my State heading? What is happening to the ‘Live Free or Die’ ethos we grew up with (or moved here for)? … Read more
Granite State Taxpayers Rally – Gov. Chris Sununu
The message that the House and the Senate want to send to the Governor is “we are with you Governor! On all your vetoes, Governor, we’re going to stand with you!” The Granite State Taxpayers held a rally today at the State House (Concord, NH) – Speakers included Ray Chadwick (Chair, GST), NH State Rep … Read more
Isn’t keeping NH.GOV up to date the Executive Branch’s responsibility, Gov. Sununu?
UPDATED (3/7 from 3/6) and BUMPED: Success! I did see yesterday (and so did commenter Paul Sand) that NH Dept of IT finally updated the NH Constitution page and added the two duly passed amendments at the top of the page. This morning I went to take a quick screen shot and update but it … Read more
ICYMI – The State Board of Tourism Takes “Or Die” Out of New Hampshire’s Live Free or Die Motto
Earlier this morning, tucked into an update on a separate issue, we reported something that I thought needed a bit more personal attention. Somewhere along the line, the New Hampshire Department of Tourism decided the State’s Motto, Live Free or Die, needed some editing. Their marketing change was none to subtle. Instead of Live Free … Read more
“The GraniteGrok Full Employment Act” – SB106
And this here in the “Live Free or Die” State – King Dan Feltes wants to put duct tape on your mouth. All three of these (enumerated below) Constitutional protections to your right to Free Speech in matters political are under attack in SB106 sponsored by NH State Senator Dan Feltes to protect himself (and … Read more
