Our bill to end town mask mandates forever has made a surprising reappearance in the Senate thanks to Rep. Juliet Harvey-Bolia and Senator James Gray. The vote will be on the 18th, and we need everyone to call Senator Ricciardi and Senator Avard and urge them to support the floor amendment to SB63.

The 2024 Legislative Season Begins – Take Action on Two Important Bills This Week
As the 2024 legislative season begins, I wanted to thank you all for your continued support and help furthering liberty in New Hampshire.
NH-NeverTrump … Wash, Rinse, Repeat
There is a truly remarkable … remarkable for its, at best, lack of substance and, at worst, casual disregard for facts … op-ed in the Union “Leader” (should be Misleader) regurgitating the same stale NeverTrump arguments against Trump that have failed to resonate for months. Here it is and then some comments: First, how ironic … Read more
State House Special Election Alert
September 19th is a critical special election for the seat that will determine the balance in the New Hampshire House.
Petty And Stupid
Quick … two words to describe Ron DeSantis’ New Hampshire surrogates. If you picked PETTY and STUPID … bingo! These people aren’t serious about winning the next election. At best, they are serious about grifting and winning control of the NHGOP.
An Incredibly Stupid Take On The Coming Trump Indictment (Jan. 6th)
An awful lot of stupid tweets flow from DeSantis’ New Hampshire twitter-surrogates. For example, there was Jason Osborne’s silly claim that voters simply vote straight-ticket based on their choice for top-of-the-ticket and that, therefore, Trump as the nominee in 2024 guaranteed a Democrat majority in the New Hampshire House. Jason apparently has some issues with … Read more

Parent Bill of Rights Fails
I dislike reporting on such bad news, but SB 272, the parent bill of rights, failed in the House. After a series of floor amendments gutted this bill, rendering it impotent and actually harmful to parental rights (see director’s report for more detail), the bill was voted “Indefinitely Postponed,” which means it can not be brought up again until 2025.

Upcoming Judicial Appointments
In New Hampshire, judges are nominated by the Governor and confirmed by the Executive Council. The mandatory retirement age for a judge is 70 years old. This year, Supreme Court Justice Hicks will reach mandatory retirement, and the process of replacing him will begin.
Foster Family Vaccine Bill Take Action Today
HB 408 would make it so that the families of foster children would not be mandated to be fully vaccinated to the ACIP schedule without exemptions (current requirement for fostering a child under the age of 6). The bill was supposed to be voted on in committee last week but was pushed off to this week.

Key Bills Head to the House Floor Plus Some “Lingo” Tips

Support Bill to Ban Social Credit Scores
I apologize for the last-minute email, but these bills snuck past me, even though our own treasurer, JR Hoell, co-sponsored HB 225. While both of these bills tackle the same issue, I personally feel that HB 225 is likely a better solution.
