Democrats opened the borders, allowing millions of illegals into the country. They are hoping to lock their hold on power in Washington forever by turning them into voters, but Rep. Chip Roy’s H.R. 8281 (co-sponsored by 194 Republicans) would require anyone registering to vote to provide proof of their U.S. citizenship.

If It Is Not Working, Do You Keep Doing The Same Thing
Albert Einstein says, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” That is how I see our political system, especially in Maine and New Hampshire. Looking back 40 or 50 years, both states were traditionally conservative. Still, a migration of people left Massachusetts to the less expensive Granite State or the tranquil and beautiful Pine Tree State.
Night Cap: Voter ID For ME Is Half Way Home
Voter ID for ME is a petition initiative driven by The Dinner Table to get the Voter ID question on the ballot so the people of Maine can decide the fate of requiring an ID to cast your vote in The Pine Tree State. On June 11, over 350 volunteers manned the voting locations across the state to gather signatures on the petition and had an amazing, successful day.
Voter ID For ME & The Dinner Table
I have the pleasure of being involved with The Dinner Table and their petition initiative for a Voter ID law in Maine. I have had a lifetime career in sales management and team activity.

Shades of HB1002: Local Media Will have to Pay $1400.00 for Public Documents Related to Governor’s Travel
A majority of the New Hampshire legislature thought it would be a good idea to allow local towns and cities to charge citizens for public documents. The (incorrect) presumption is that citizens are more likely to abuse RTK laws for Evil than local government.
The Facts Show The Impact Of Progressives On Maine
Progressive politicians have taken over Maine and are making the most of their time in power. These people, who live on the extreme left of society, know that the clock is ticking, and they must initiate as much change as they can before the people realize they were wrong, giving these people the wheel and taking it away.
Night Cap: Electoral Compact or Horrific Progressive Power Grab?
Maine just became the 17th state in the nation to sign onto an electoral compact to reward the national popular vote leader, leaving Maine, New Hampshire and many other smaller states at the mercy (or lack thereof) of big blue states like California and New York.
While Maine Works to Protect Child Traffickers, Tennessee Moves to Punish Them
LD227 would permit the state of Maine to hold those in other states liable for violating it; violating what? The law allows human trafficking and protects adults from charges of kidnapping and transporting minors across state lines for gender surgeries. Tennessee pushed back, but not just against the unconstitutionality of LD227.
Maine Follows Vermont Down Another Disarmament Rabbit Hole
State Governments top heavy with progressive thinkers have been looking for excuses to pass laws banning “militias.” Vermont, to my geographic and ideological left, used a gun range with a few unpermitted buildings to ban Militias statewide, and Vermont only exists because of a militia. Maine just followed suit.
Wake Up Maine Democrats, This Is Not Your Parent’s Party
It is not easy, and it may be very uncomfortable, to change your political affiliation because you finally realize that it is not you who is leaving the Party, but the Party has left you. I grew up in Massachusetts, where everyone joined the Democrat Party at birth. Those many years ago, John Kennedy personified the Democrat Party.
National Popular Vote Interstate Compact Targets Republicans
The forefathers established the United States as a Republic of States and not a Democracy. This provision was to maintain the power of the states as opposed to losing it to the collective wishes of the country as a whole.
Democrats Have No Understanding Of Second Amendment
A wake begins on Long Island on Thursday for Officer Jonathan Diller, who was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop last week in New York City. The alleged shooter has 22 previous arrests to his credit. Can we drop the alleged and call this as it is? The shooter is a cop killer.
When Will The Insanity Stop
Maine politics is not dull in this new Liberal era for The Pine Tree State. Every week, we see a different Progressive attempt to outdo the previous outlandish piece of legislation. When you look at the range of laws passed, starting with the legalization of Marijuana in 2016.
Is Deceit Necessary To Pass Bills?
The Maine Legislature is helping to increase Mainers’ distrust and skepticism of their elected officials. The Democrats are using “placeholders” to hide the true intention of a bill and buy time to finalize the details of the legislation.
Bear Pond Conservative Chronicles: What Is The Bigger Threat: Parents Or A Chinese Cartel
It seems like this should be a concise article. Obviously, a Chinese Cartel is far more dangerous, and every effort should be made to eradicate it. Well, you would be wrong. Why would I write an article comparing the real threat of Chinese Cartels and the myth of parents who protest school boards as terrorists?
Bear Pond Conservative Chronicles: Two Bad Decisions By Portland Leaders
There are many things a local, state, and federal government can do for its people, from ensuring clean, drinkable water and road maintenance to police and fire protection to border security. But there are some elements of life that the government should avoid, and Portland, Maine, is considering crossing the line on two of them.
Bear Pond Conservative Chronicles: Our Tax Dollars Are Funding Chinese Pot Farms
I have been writing about the illegal Chinese Pot Farms in Central Maine for months. I have been trying to raise awareness of this dangerous situation in our backyard. These Chinese Cartel operations not only involve drugs but possibly human and sex trafficking.
Bear Pond Conservative Chronicles: The Problem Is Now In Our Backyard
Maybe this is a simple mistake. There are already legally licensed marijuana shops every mile or so on Auburn Road (RTE 4). It is understandable that someone would think it was okay to have a pot farm on the main drag through Turner, Maine. I once drove from Bear Pond up Route 4 to Jay, Maine, which is only about 13 miles.
State Sanctioned Kidnapping and Mutilation
Grokster Ian is fond of reminding us that we should call things what they are – “As Confucius said, the first step towards wisdom is to call things by their right name.” That is sage advice, so I’ll use it here. Maine has a bill that allows the state to take children from their parents. Kidnapping.
BEAR Pond Conservative Chronicles: Lobsters, Pot, And Trans
What the heck is happening in Maine? The Pine Tree State, Vacationland, has become a Progressive Wasteland. This state is not your Mother and Father’s Maine, where kids used to take time off from school to pick potatoes.
