New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu has vetoed HB 687, the Democrat’s latest red flag law. A bill that turned strangers into informants with the power to deny you your rights to property or due process because of their opinion.

The Left Can’t Tolerate People with Opposing Political Views
To The Jim Mayotte family of Sandbornton: I personally understand your grief. Have faith that this act does not represent the majority of us who live in and love our Lakes Region. Readers would not know of your loss or the previous destruction of your property (is this how Portland started?) and that of others if not for these letters.
If Democrats Insist on Not Arresting Lawbreakers Why Should We Follow Any of Their Laws?
Lifting a nation from the third world to the second and then the first requires a commitment by the people and their elected leaders. You need to defend property rights, have an independent judiciary, and the rule of law-laws that apply to everyone. Even Democrats or one of their potential electorates.

NYC Bans Words, Landlords Lose More Rights
Another bastion of liberalism leftism has decided to infringe on your first amendment rights and your property rights, shockingly, under the guise of Civil Rights. The new guidance from the Civil Rights Commission in New York City mandates landlords to rent, sell, or lease to illegal aliens. Whoops, can’t say “illegal aliens.” That’s outlawed too. NEW … Read more
Alpha Loesch vs. Beto-Male – I Just Want to Defend Myself, O’Rourke is Making Actual Threats
When a candidate for president declares that confiscation of private property is a priority for their administration, we believe them. He doesn’t just want to disarm the law-abiding citizens, he’s promising direct action, and that’s a threat. He even had t-shirts made up.
Life, Liberty and Property Rights in the Amazon
When everyone owns something; no one owns it. We need to stop and think about that statement. What about a public highway or pond? What incentive does anyone have to maintain or take care of these things? Why are the principles and values of life, liberty and property rights timeless? The road to hell Sure, … Read more
Social Justice or Socially Just Us
Justice… Don’t we all work in our own ways to promote justice? But what exactly is justice? The classical definition is the will to render to a person what is due him. That seems pretty simple, pretty obvious. Social Justice… So what is social justice? To those using the term it seems to mean something … Read more
Rule of Law: Government is the Example?
Whose idea is this? In 1928 Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, wrote in, Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438, “Decency, security and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be … Read more
Asset Forfeiture Funds Local District Attorney’s Fancy Lifestyle
There are more things wrong with asset forfeiture than not. Browse the library on the topic if that’s not clear. But one of the most significant issues is the incentive to abuse it to pad the coffers. The more assets you seize the greater your cut. And then there’s this dirtbag.

Where Democrat Rule Leads: Mayor de Blasio Seizing Private Property in New York

Peterborough Bringing Heavy Equipment to “Adjust” Local Gun Club “Property”
By Mark Carbone – President Monadnock Rod and Gun Club
I’m writing Granite Grok today to let you know that the Town of Peterborough is treating us unfairly. Our attorney, Penny Dean along with our VP Tom Harvey, Secretary Jim Pickford and Board Member Martin Bowen are onsite to receive the Town this morning. I will be there in an hour or so.
Under the guise of Code Enforcement/Assessment, the Town and police are set to arrive some 7 minutes ago with heavy equipment. My first notice was last night after 5 with a personal voicemail that just asked me to return a call to the Chief of Police, Scott Guinard that included zero details. I only got a more complete story hours later from our attorney who received an email.
Again attorney Dean is onsite, and WMUR has reported that they will be there.

Guest Post: Ken Eyring – Will Senate Bill 11 Confiscate Control of ALL NH Waters?
On May 22nd, the NH House of Representatives will vote on Senate Bill 11. It was written to enable Exeter and Stratham to jointly form a water/sewer district — but that capability already exists in State RSA Chapters 53-A, 33-B, 38, and 36. These RSAs enabled the creation of the Merrimack Valley Regional Water District (7 towns).
The Bill is unnecessary and should be killed. It contains broad, far reaching language, including this;
“Therefore, the general court declares and determines that the waters of New Hampshire constitute a limited and precious public resource to be protected, conserved, and managed in the interest of present and future generations.”
The “waters of New Hampshire” could be broadly interpreted to mean all water resources are defined as public resources regardless of location (Public or Private Property), and regardless of source (lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, wells…).
This would set a dangerous unconstitutional precedent, severing ownership of water from private property. It could also lead to private wells and septic systems being taxed and “protected, conserved and managed” by newly created, powerful government bodies – whether or not you wish to participate in a water/sewer district.
