I met Maya on September 7, 2021, at the Bedford polls while Linda Camarota’s special election was being stolen from her by way of same-day voting, but I digress already. My encounter with her was pleasant, and she gave me the business card that identified her as some GOP staffer.

Quick Thought: Why is NH Senate Staffer Maya Harvey Controlling the NH GOP Media Invites for Today?
Somebody just called asking if we, too, were not going to be at the NH GOP Annual Meeting where Trump is speaking, which had me asking, “what, you were denied as well?”.

Representative John Burt (Goffstown) introduced Michael Yakubovich outside the New Hampshire Secretary of State Office. Rep Burt said, “One of the many reasons I support Michael Yakubovich is because he understands and believes in the meaning of the Second Amendment.

Imagine for a Moment, a NH without a State Senate
My understanding of civics is that our federal government has a senate (2 per state) to offset the big states (such as California’s 55 reps to NH’s 2) in the House.
NH Senate’s Emergency Power’s Reform is “Nothing but Window Dressing with a New Paint Job.”
The US is moving from being a High Trust Society to one of Low Trust and nowhere is it easy to see than in politics. Both Consistency and Loyalty are hard to come by attributes – almost non-existent.

Longtime New Hampshire State Senator Lou D’Allesandro has come under fire recently, accused of stolen valor. What’s that? A person who claims they have served in the military or embellish their rank or status.
Denise Ricciardi Wins Again – Democrat Dietsch Cancels State Senate Race Recount
This morning we shared the good news about Republican Gary Daniels. His victory last Tuesday survived a recount requested by Democrat Shannon Chandley in the District 11 race. Now we have just learned that Republican Denise Ricciardi’s win last Tuesday will stand as well. The Democrat canceled the Recount.
Shouldn’t the Campaign Manager for Democrat Jenn Alford-Teaster Be Voting in New York – Where She Is a Legal Resident?
Shouldn’t the campaign manager for Jenn Alford-Teaster be voting in New York – where she is a legal resident – not NH? From the recent Absentee ballot requests from Manchester Ward 1:
NH State Senator Jeanne Dietsch’s Homeschooling Disrespect A Problem for NH Parents
New Hampshire, we have a problem, and it should concern every one of us.
By now, you’ve probably heard Senator Jeanne Dietsch’s (D-Peterborough) unfortunate, derogatory comments about working-class families in New Hampshire.
So, the NH Senate wishes to place ANOTHER unfunded mandate on towns and cities?
[Art.] 28-a. [Mandated Programs.] The state shall not mandate or assign any new, expanded or modified programs or responsibilities to any political subdivision in such a way as to necessitate additional local expenditures by the political subdivision unless such programs or responsibilities are fully funded by the state or unless such programs or responsibilities are approved … Read more
Uh-oh! Did somebody forget to pay their domain registration bill?
BUMPED from 6/6/2012. Moron. Better stuff coming back in a while – VOTE Bill Kuch!
Somebody wasn’t paying attention to details, were they? It does happen – and it more often than some folks will admit to. However, this is not what I expected to see when I went over to David Boutin’s NH Senate campaign site:
And yes, there are some things that were promised and the stark truth of votes taken. Right, Left, or somewhere in Squishland, all politicians have a record and it isn’t just other politicians that look at those records.

Guest Post: Vote NO on HB 664, a NH Vaccine Tax Assessment
From Laura Condon – Vote NO on HB 664, a NH Vaccine Tax Assessment (via Facebook)
There is a little-known vaccine tax assessment bill, HB 664 an act relative to the NH Vaccine Association working its way through the NH legislature that will impose a new, limitless tax assessment on every self-insured business and municipality in the state of New Hampshire that would have the effect of imposing an expanded defacto vaccine mandate on all children for all vaccines ever recommended for use, including new, unproven, largely experimental vaccines. This bill should be properly voted down. The bill is now in the senate and needs your urgent attention and is expected to be voted on by the full senate on May 23. Please contact your state senator today by phone and email and ask them to please vote no on HB 664.

House Bill 135 Is All But Dead
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws. —Plato
Senator Sharon Carson (R) Dist. 14, Chair, Senate Judiciary (Londonderry), sent me a message yesterday afternoon that the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 4-1 on HB 135 to recommend, “Inexpedient to Legislate…” legislative speak meaning the committee recommends the subject bill be killed and not pass on in the process.
GrokWatch: So, has AutoServ of Tilton added a new line of cars: “Politicized”??? And what else are those cars being used for?
There are two folks running in NH State Senate District 7 in which I reside: Republican Josh Youssef and Democrat Andrew Hosmer. We did endorse Josh in the Primary and believe him to be a better candidate still than Hosmer – a Progressive big-taxer centralizing-power Democrat.
While Josh is an entrepreneur, Hosmer married into the family that owns AutoServ – and is the General Manager there. Well, I got a call last night. Actually and to be truthful, TMEW got the call – she beat me to the phone so she had the opportunity to be the confused one – her brow furrowed.
“Who?”, she said. “Brittney Murphy? Are you sure….no, there is no Brittney that live here…..yes, I will be voting in the upcoming election. Um, no, I will not be voting for Andrew Hosmer…g’nite.”
“Skip, would you look at this number, please?”
GraniteGrok Endorsement – NH State Senate District 23, 11, and 29: Dennis Acton, Dan Dwyer, Phil Greazzo
As I said it my last post, it’s time to hurry up and get these out before it is too late. In finishing up in the NH State Senate races, we are making two endorsements:
- District 23: Dennis Acton
- Reduce and eliminate burdensome taxes and regulations to create jobs here in NH.
- Fight federal health care mandates and work for a system that puts the patient first.
- Unlock the power of innovation to improve our schools. A skilled workforce attracts business.
- Protect NH citizens & businesses from federal government overreach and abuse of power.
In each case, the individual is more empowered to make the decisions that best fits him or her, more freedom in education, and act as a barrier to those in government that believe that Government knows what’s best for us all – even when they don’t.
- District 20: Phil Greazzo
He will be taking on long term Liberal dinosaur Lou D’Allesandro in the general election. Phil has performed well in the NH House on a variety of issues and has our full confidence that he is the person that will carry out the mission of rightsizing NH State Government and protecting NH taxpayers and their rights.
And a recommendation:
- District 11: Dan Dwyer.
Yes, not quite to the level of a full out endorsement but we believe that Dan is a better choice for those most interested in enhancing individual liberty and freedoms which necessarily roll back the size and intrusion of NH State Government. While the Senate did pass a fair amount of good legislation this past session, many of the grassroots were sorely disappointed by the many pieces of major legislation that did not pass or that was bottled up or tabled; we lay that at the feet of Dan’s opponent (who, btw, lost to Dan in the NH Young Republicans straw poll big time).
