We learned that we were able to get through reconsideration of HB154 (reconsideration failed), 44 regular calendar bills and 1 bill pulled off consent, between 9 am and 5:30 pm, with an hour for lunch (thankfully provided by the NH Nurses Association). Everyone was prepared to stay much longer into the evening, but speeches were relatively short, and we had a nice amount of voice votes on bills, too!

Right to Work
New England Right To Work just made a HUGE mistake concerning Tim Lang (candidate for NH Senate, District 2)
Bonehead – didn’t do his homework. That would be McKayne Boedeker who is the Executive Director of the New England Right to Work (out of Manchester, NH). Got a missive from him and like a lot of organizations this time of year (er, election time), it came with a hand outstreched for your wallet. Sounded … Read more
So, Look Where Brodie Deshaies Is Getting His Campaign Money From! Hint: Right to Work
He’s a bought and paid-for man – a man beholden to union money for his action in his votes, IMHO. Not only that, he’s “laundering” that aggregate money out to similarly minded RINOs that care not a whit about your freedom to work anywhere in NH without having to join a union – but that … Read more
Oh, Rino Brodie Deshaies (Rino-Wolfeboro)? You Might Wish to Ensure Your Rear View Mirror Is Focused
Youngster Brodie Deshaies has assembled a horrible voting/legislative record in his first term in the NH House – and I know of at least TWO groups are eyeballing him very closely. They also want to make sure his constituents cast their eyes on him as well. From the Mary Cheswell PAC. They just received this … Read more
The Reason Why NH State Rep Brodie Deshaies (R-Wolfeboro) Supports Unions (Think Right-To-Work): Bought and Paid For!
I keep saying “I get stuff” and “people send me even more stuff”. It seems that several such folks believe that Republicans should let Brodie Deshaies drop like a rock. There was another attempt, here in NH, to pass Right To Work legislation. Here are the Union payments to his campaign fund for this year’s … Read more
The NH House Can’t Get the Job Done on Right to Work – RINOs Kill the Bill
One of the problems we keep having around here is the inability of this state to elected enough actual Republicans to get all the jobs done.
So Kids, What Did We Learn From Thursday’s House Session (06-03-21)?
We learned that the Senate sure can pack a whole lotta “stuff” into Senate bills before they toss ’em over the wall to us! One of the bills (SB162-FN) they sent to us had 72 pieces of legislation in it! That would normally be 72 separate bills! There were some House members who voted against … Read more
Former IBEW Steward – Right to Work Will Protect New Hampshire Workers
It’s all too common for people in politics to claim to speak for everyone, even when they just don’t. Take union bosses in the current fight over Right to Work: They act like all union members oppose Right to Work, but in reality that’s just not true.
Sign the Petition – Pass Right to Work in New Hampshire
We have not spent a lot of time talking about Right to Work Legislation for New Hampshire. That might be because it should be a no-brainer to get it passed with a Republican Governor and Republican Majority legislature. Or is it?
New Hampshire – Low Unemployment And Soon to Be The Only Right to Work State in New England?
Everyone around here is excited about our 2.8% unemployment rate. It might be the lowest in the country. It’s not all good news. Part of that great number has to do with people staying out of the workforce. If no one wanted to work, unemployment would be zero.
Right To Work Protects Our Freedoms While Growing Our Economy
In the coming vote on Right to Work legislation Senate Bill 61 (SB61 text below) before the New Hampshire House, representatives have a clear choice.
You Can’t Unionize Jobs That Don’t Exist
Remember when Amazon pulled out of Seattle in part because of the city was planning to target its largest employers with a ‘head tax’? Remember when Amazon scuttled its plans to open a center in New York City, because AOC and other progressives organized opposition to the move? Clearly this is a company that is … Read more
Josiah Bartlett – Two Ways to Decide Whether Right to Work Is Right for New Hampshire
Most U.S. States (27) have Right to Work laws, and that includes a growing number in the industrial Midwest. Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin have them, and every state bordering Ohio, save Pennsylvania, has one.
AFP-NH Puts a Focus on 10 Key Legislative Priorities for 2021
Last week American’s for Prosperity New Hampshire published a list of legislative priorities for the Granite State in 2021. They’ve put a much-needed focus on ten pieces of legislation covering Education, Licensing, Free Speech, Asset Forfeiture, Health Care, and (believe it or not) Climate Change (sort of).
Labor Day: Support for Unions High But 90% of Americans Don’t Want to Be in One.
The idea that you should have the right to organize a union continues to poll well. A majority of Americans support the concept of collective bargaining units. But what happens when you ask them if they want to pay union dues to union bosses?
Keith Erf – candidate for NH State House, Hillsborough County 2 (Weare/Deering)
I’m Keith Erf, candidate for state representative in Weare and Deering. I’m running for State representative to champion limited government. I’ve lived in Weare for 37 years. My wife, Louisa, and I raised four children here where they attended Weare schools.
I started my business, KyTek, in 1991 developing automated systems for the publishing industry. As a small business owner and member of the Weare Finance Committee, I’ve seen firsthand how NH business taxes, property taxes and expanding government negatively impacts our communities. We need representation in Concord that fights for our best interests, limiting government and taxation so current and future generations can afford to live and work in our community.
As a member of the Weare Finance Committee, I look to find a taxpayer-friendly balance between the needs of the town and schools and the costs to our residents. From the vantage point of the Finance Committee I have learned that we need representation in Concord that will avoid legislation that places costs on Weare and Deering requiring us to increase our local property taxes.
Jose’ Eduardo Cambrils – candidate for NH State House, Merrimack County 9 (Cantebury/Loudon)
“I am seeking a seat in the NH House of Representatives because of my love for this great State of NH and more specifically the towns of Canterbury and Loudon. I lived in Canterbury for 13 years and still own a beautiful piece of land there. My wife and I have now lived in Loudon for the past 2 years. There is no other place on earth that we would rather be.
My entire life I have had a “Servant Leader” style of leadership. I humbly request your vote, and if I get the Honor and Privilege to represent these two wonderful towns, you have my word that your voices and concerns will be heard.”
-Jose’ Eduardo Cambrils
Born in Tunas, Cuba in 1960. Jose’ and his family immigrated (legally)…
Extend worker freedom to all of New Hampshire
AFTER THE landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision on worker freedom, Janus v. AFSCME, New Hampshire now has the opportunity to become the first state in the Northeast to pass right-to-work legislation and expand freedom for thousands of workers.
The court found that because collective bargaining with the government affects public policy issues like pension liabilities, taxes, spending and more, it equates to lobbying and thus political speech. Public employees are now protected from having their hard-earned money automatically deducted from their paycheck and directed toward political speech they may disagree with.
Seven New Hampshire House Republicans Try To Silence Political Speech They Don’t Like
American’s for Prosperity in New Hampshire has been doing some issues advocacy. Alerting the residents of seven House Districts held by sitting (r)epublicans that their elected officials opposed Right to Work.
The seven “Republican” House Reps are mad at AFP for daring to let voters, who might not otherwise notice, know how they voted. So they wrote a letter to the Secretary of State and the State’s Attorney General questioning AFP-New Hampshire status as a nonprofit 501(c)4.
Put another way; this truth could hurt them politically and rather than explain their votes to constituents they’ve taken the liberal road to silence an inconvenient exercise of free speech.
So why is NH State Rep Mark Proulx against the GOP Platform? And against Private Contract? And Self-Agency. Freedom?
It is because of HIM I have to join a union against my will and contra my Freedom! Thanks for nuttin. In this, you are a totalitarian simply because I want to freely contract with my employer – and you decided to not let me. So what WILL you run on if the Janus vs … Read more
