Concord City Council Race: Shenanigans, a Lobbyist, Lies and Cash

March 2, 2019 Kimberly Morin

Next Tuesday there will be a special election held for the Concord City Council. Very localized races such as this often have low voter turnout and are basically “sleepers” but this race has a little bit of everything and none of it is good for the residents of Concord. The special election was caused by … Read more

Gun Control in the Statehouse yesterday

February 14, 2019 Skip

I have not been posting a lot lately and I HAVE to start making the changes to get out of my rut. However, along with Groksters Kimberly (her reporting here), Tom, and Susan, I was at the Statehouse all day to cover the hearings for Democrat / civilian disarmament bills: 2 in Education that would … Read more

Zandra Rice Hawkins is Running for the Concord City Council

January 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Zandra Rice Hawkins is running for the Concord City Council. Who is she? Follow this link for our archive on the left-wing founding executive director of out-of-state funded Granite State Progress. Her shadow has graced New Hampshire’s political door for many moons. Now she has tossed her hat into the ring for public office. Seems … Read more

A fisking of US Senator Jeff Flake on the SCOTUS hearings

October 4, 2018 Skip

Two fortunate things came together – I found the charging cord to my Zoom Q4 camera (literally handsized) and found out that it makes a great camera with which to yank off clips from the TV (DVR’d of course) and that US Senator Jeff Flake decided to show up at St Anselm’s Institute of Politics this past Monday Night. Of course, WMUR just HAD (in their drift leftward) had to cover this “Conservative” who, they touted, derailed the confirmation of Brett Kavanuagh to the Supreme Court (even if just for a little mite of time). Of course, Flake is all pleased with himself and he made that quite clear to all. For not much at all, IMHO; let the fisking begin:

Oh, that picture and “who is that in that red circle?”. Note to Jeff Flake:

Zandra “Rice-Out-Of-State-Palooza” Hawkins

September 26, 2018May 17, 2013 Steve MacDonald

Out of State funded, Colorado Model, intrusive Democrat Agenda-thumper Zandra Rice Hawkins of Granite State Progress, is a progressive mole, and paid lobbyist, planted by the out of state agenda-mill Progress Now to operate as a “local” left wing propaganda machine. (Progress Now is an extension or partner with Democracy Alliance both of which are funded by politically connected liberal millionaires none of whom are from or live in New Hampshire).

Out-of-state-funded-So-called in-state activist Hawkins latest event featured out of state parents whose children were tragically killed in a different state from ours, so that they could come here and tell our US Senator (Kelly Ayotte) how she should vote.

really – “bipartisan financial support”?

There is a piece in the NY Times byCampell Brown calling out Planned Parenthood for being too ideologically pure when pummeling supporters that stray from “their line”. Gay rights supporters in New York offered an instructive lesson during last year’s battle for marriage equality. Gay marriage passed in New York because four Republican legislators crossed … Read more

When Progress Now Speaks – No One Should Listen

September 26, 2018June 20, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Zandra Rice Crispy-Treats Hawkins (ZRCTH) was on WGIR AM 610’s Political Roundtable the other morning with Andrew Manuse, Andrew in Studio, Zandra by phone–a strategic move that allowed her to suck up all of Andrew’s time because Andrew (in my opinion) was too polite to just talk over her. And Suck she did. But she is trained to suck. As the Progress Now sock puppet in New Hampshire she follows their plan to use whatever language is necessary to dupe the people in New Hampshire into embracing the Liberal/statist tax and spend agenda.

ProgressNow State Partners serve as non-stop, multi-issue advocacy organizations. Year-round, we promote progressive ideas and causes with creative earned media strategies, targeted email campaigns, and cutting-edge new media.

…

Political campaigns are relatively short-lived; they come and they go, leaving little behind of lasting value. ProgressNow’s presence in our states never ends.

…

ProgressNow State Partners excel in this area. Each ProgressNow State Partner organization has full-time staff who are experts in media communications, online campaigns, earned media and new media.

Put simply, ProgressNow (funded by progressive millionaires with more money than the Koch brothers) supports the state partners (like ZRCTH) and trains them to be experts in left wing propaganda tactics across all forms of media, with an emphasis on using local issues to advance national Democrat statist party goals.

So how did that work out?

I See Dead People (Petition Edition)

September 26, 2018February 3, 2012 Steve MacDonald

We’ve begun the process of getting our hands on the ‘so-called’ 109,900 names and addresses from petitions ‘collected’ by the well funded out of state groups who dropped them on the New Hampshire Attorney General yesterday I have speculated on a few occasions that a super-majority of these will be from outside New Hampshire, but … Read more

If you drop 109,900 petitions and no one is there to hear them fall…

Granite State Progress drops petitions but no one is there to hear

[Updated Below]

That 9:30 press conference, the one at which Zandra Rice Crispy Treats Hawkins (ZRCTH) was supposed to unleash the fury of over 100,000 signed petitions, started a little late. Something to do with the lack of actual press. As of 10:00 Zandra was still there, as the typical day’s traffic wandered in and out of the Legislative office Building, paying little or no attention to the tiny knot of people behind the podium.

Not only Voter ID, but what about “Running for Election” ID?

September 26, 2018February 2, 2012 Skip

Anyways, I just thought I bring this up topic of Voter Fraud again as this afternoon at lunch, I went down to file the paperwork to run for elected office again. Well, given this topic of Voter ID, I wanted to find out if someone could come in and sign up to run – under … Read more

Should NH Give A Damn About Zandra Rice Hawkins?

September 26, 2018February 2, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Tomorrow, someone who relies entirely on out of state money, will present a pile of petitions, signed almost entirely with out of state signatures, to the New Hampshire Attorney General (AG), whom she will ask to investigate voter fraud in the Granite State.

Let me start out by thanking Zandra for the petition show she plans to put on tomorrow. She thinks she is going to make a statement about the need to prosecute voter fraud, James O’Keefe and Project Veritas specifically, but that is not the statement she will be making.

Please allow me to set the table.

The Sweet Stench Of Left Wing Hypocrisy

September 26, 2018May 26, 2011 Steve MacDonald

The Union Leader wastes no time, exposing Hawkins connection to money she received May 11th from America Votes (out of state left wing donation), which Granite State Progress then used to support the Democrat in the special election she is squawking about, specifically to elect that democrat, in that election.

What Zandra Rice Hawkins Was Really Selling At Her “Fake” Sale

September 26, 2018February 15, 2011 Steve MacDonald

cupcake Zandra Rice "The Huckster" Hawkins of Granite State Progress (an out of state funded left wing group) staged a bake sale based on words she put in State Rep Jeanine Notter’s mouth.

Hawkins just decided that because Notter had more faith in individual responsibility and more local control that this guaranteed that people would suffer; that Notter’s solution meant people would need to have a bake sale to raise money to pay for cancer treatments if New Hampshire tried to opt out of the unconstitutional Health Insurance mandate.

I think this says a good deal about Zandra the Huckster’s world view and it’s not all that flattering.

Granite State Progress Goes Tucson

September 26, 2018February 7, 2011 Steve MacDonald

This week I did a call-in because last week Zandra Rice Hawkins of Granite State Progress attended Congressman Guinta’s town hall in Laconia, and at one point decided to storm up towards the podium to ‘set the record straight.’ She was not tackled, tasered or shot. In fact she spoke her mind–as liberals are wont to do–without interruption and was even given a chance to ask questions despite essentially hijacking the event.
