I am addressing you directly because it is abundantly clear that the New Hampshire Law Enforcement, Judiciary, and Bar are more interested in covering up corruption than addressing it. This means members of the public, with the help of certain journalists, are left addressing it themselves. It’s a sorry state that our public funds have been abused so much by the very people whom we pay & entrust to uphold and execute laws.

If none of you respect your oath of office then what good are you to the public?

The fact that it has taken 6 years for the information on Rep. Jonathan Stone’s police misconduct to come out is despicable. Who wanted to protect it from coming out? You did when you were Attorney General and on your fake claim to care about children and their safety. You didn’t care about children or their safety, you cared about protecting a circle of corruption that spreads through law enforcement, city councils, attorneys offices and the AG’s office.

In August 2018 you argued that the Laurie List should remain private. It was a few months after James F McLaughlin’s name had been added to the Laurie List by the City of Keene/Keene Police. James F McLaughlin was working for you on the Grand Jury Criminal Investigation into St Paul’s School in June 2018. It should have been your duty to inform St. Paul’s School and the public of James F McLaughlin’s dishonest and violent record but you didn’t. Instead, Chuck Douglas Esq received the benefit of that Grand Jury Criminal Investigation to file multiple suits against the School – all settled out of court.

Now we must ask whether any of the claims against St Paul’s School were real, fabricated or designed to blackmail by forcing the school into a situation to pay up in order to cover up worse crimes for which previous crooked deals had been made by Concord Police. I believe it is the latter and I believe that the worse crimes were known about by your office, by your predecessors such as Michael Delaney and by Concord PD, the NHCADSV and the DCYF.

Blackmail is a class A felony in New Hampshire.

Brady v Maryland requires all exculpatory evidence to be made known to defendants.

The Anti-Lobbying Act forbids certain activities that you and those NGOs and elected representatives working with you have ignored.

Did they not teach you that at Cornell Law School? Do they not teach that at UNH Law?

You were an NH Bar examiner? What were your standards that all of these laws are simply ignored?

In your own words:

“The New Hampshire Supreme Court is a critically important institution. Its decisions serve as the final word in hundreds of cases every year. Those decisions may implicate our fundamental liberties, the rights of the criminally accused, or the scope of the government’s power. Every case resolves legal disputes of great importance to the parties involved. The institution represents the transcendent importance of the rule of law to the protection of our rights, to our democracy, and to our economic system. The Court’s work must be well-reasoned, learned, diligent and fair and impartial.

I am applying for this position because of the opportunity it presents to uphold and advance these ideals and to serve this institution and our citizens. As described in detail in this application, I have the knowledge, experience and skills necessary to serve. I would bring to the Court very strong academic credentials, a record of significant and ongoing scholarship regarding New Hampshire practice, a highly successful career as a private civil litigator, and a long history of leadership in service to the Court, to the profession and to the public. For the last two years, I have served as Attorney General, a position of great scope and responsibility. I will also bring personal qualities that will benefit the Court. I hold myself to the highest standards of professionalism and ethics, I work hard, and I have tried to approach public service with humility and respect.”

Protecting police officers who are on the Laurie List and who have put the public in harm’s way is not approaching public service with humility and respect.

When my letter to John Scippa regarding Police Officer Julie Curtin was forwarded to your office, your assistant AG Jane Young wrote to me to say that Geoffrey Ward (who was copied) would respond. Despite multiple follow ups, he did not. Despite follow ups from Rep. Susan Homola, he stonewalled her and me and then he deleted the files of 28 or more police officers on the Laurie list with no explanation. Who was he reporting to? You. So who was he protecting when he deleted the files of corrupt police officers? You. That is not approaching public service with humility and respect. That is basically sticking two fingers to the public and self-serving.

Geoffrey Ward is now a federal prosecutor. New Hamsphire’s federal prosecutors have also failed to respect Brady v Maryland by failing to let defendants know that witnesses have been paid to give testimony for a Grand Jury. Judge Landya McAfferty (a St. Paul’s alum) has expressed shock at what is going on with this regard.

“The government’s failure to learn of and disclose these facts was patent prosecutorial misconduct,” Judge Landya McCafferty, chief justice of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire, wrote in her order to unseal the records.

“The fact that highly similar misconduct has happened at least twice in this United States Attorney’s Office within a short time span raises concerns about the seriousness to which the government takes its constitutional disclosure obligations.”

I believe that Jane Young was a US Attorney when this happened (Correction- it was John Farley). She was preceded by Scott Murray, who was DA for Merrimack County and who only lists one trial on his US Attorney bio: “State v Owen Labrie – a “victory for victims’ rights”. I strongly disagree. It was a victory for New Hampshire Court & Law Enforcement Corruption, and you know this.

In August 2017, one of the attorneys who had been introduced via Concord PD, Julie Curtin (who also worked with you and James F McLaughlin on the St Paul’s Grand Jury Criminal Investigation), telephoned Owen Labrie, who was waiting for his appeals (appeals which you argued successfully to deny). That attorney admitted that Concord Police were making “crooked deals” with St Paul’s School. He also admitted that the true victim of statutory rape was the son of the senior administrator at the school (by an 18-year-old female student who was suspended for 2 to 3 weeks) – in other words, not his client, Chessy Prout, by Owen Labrie. But he wanted Owen Labrie’s help to gather intel on St. Paul’s School in order to go after its money. There is a reference to the felony-level sexual assault he knew about within the civil case 1:18-cv-00390 filed on May 11, 2018 (Jane Doe v St Paul’s School). Alyssa Dandrea of the Concord Monitor reported on it.

How would a civil attorney referred to the Prout family by Concord Police know about all of this and tell a criminal defendant who he was trying to bribe to go after St Paul’s School’s money? If he knew about the crooked deals in August 2017, then so did you because you opened the Grand Jury Criminal Investigation in July 2017. But you failed to admonish the police for those crooked deals, choosing to cover them up instead.

Working with you in 2019 were the NHCADSV and Amanda Grady Sexton, who were set to be beneficiaries of Rapuano & Does v Dartmouth College, which was in mediation when they launched a social media and phone campaign to block ABC/GMA from airing an interview with Owen Labrie in July 2019. That interview was recorded in Burlington, Vermont, on July 15, 2019, and, from my understanding, it was sent to the Prout family representatives (the attorneys Chuck Douglas, Steven J Kelly, Steven D Silverman) for comment. One of these attorneys (Steven D Silverman) had his license suspended in DC for using media to influence judicial outcome in Doe v Cabrera.

The other two attorneys were also the attorneys who sued Dartmouth in Rapuano & Does v Dartmouth, and they were in mediation with Dartmouth when the ABC/GMA interview should have aired but didn’t. Instead, the Dartmouth suit settled for $14 million, of which $4.9 million went to Chuck Douglas and Steven J Kelly’s law firms, $2.865 million to the NHCADSV (per estimates from news reports), and $75K each to 9 complainants (some of whom had been solicited). The remainder was supposed to go towards better training and other plaintiffs. However, Maha Hasan Alshaawi’s case and the suicide of another student reveal that nothing of the sort happened. Students signed a petition for due process. It was ignored, and your office did nothing.

Public corruption under your tenure as AG, led to deaths and put lives in very serious harm’s way.

Chuck Douglas is Chair of the New Hampshire Judicial Selection Committee. So he has influence over which judges are appointed to his cases. Coincidentally, not one of the suits he filed against St Paul’s School, Dartmouth College, the Diocese of Manchester or DA Robin Davis went to trial. They all settled out of court. Quite the racket you all had going on.

I’ve been told that you yourself asked Father Gordon MacRae if he minded if his name was used for claims against the Diocese of Manchester for quick claims. He’d never met or heard of the person(s) filing. Your civil litigation practice for the Diocese of Manchester relied on quick settlements for false claims against a man who was incarcerated after being denied due process and after prosecutors failed to inform him of James F McLaughlin’s disciplinary records. The “compliance” officer for the Diocese was Edward Arsenault, who was sentenced to prison in 2014, per records on the NH DOJ site by Assistant AG Jane Young. But that was a lie because he was transferred to Keene jail and, while you were AG, released altogether with his restitution miraculously paid off. We shouldn’t trust a single statement on the AG website as a result and we shouldn’t trust anything out of Jane Young’s office either since she is the one who made the statement but is now US Attorney.

It should be noted that you/your office stated that there would be an investigation into Dartmouth College when the civil suit Rapuano & Does v Dartmouth was filed. But nothing happened. It was your alma mater, and the person who appointed you as AG, Governor Chris Sununu, was on the board of trustees for Dartmouth – a non-profit that failed to register conflicts of interest in the case since Sununu signs the approvals for funds to the NHCADSV who were financial beneficiaries from the settlement. They also failed to register conflicts of interest. Your office did nothing. Nor did the Secretary of State.

Dartmouth Professor David Bucci committed suicide in the wake of Rapuano & Does v Dartmouth College. His death should be attributed to the corruption that existed under and was endorsed by you as AG.

He left behind a 10-year-old daughter and his wife, who stated that the negative media in Rapuano & Does v Dartmouth was a contributing factor to his downward spiral. He was denied the right to speak for himself while Steven J Kelly Esq and Amanda Grady Sexton were using a grant from Times Up Legal Defense Fund/NWLC for media to support the narrative for the claimants and thus to enrich themselves from the settlement. They write about how they do this here.

The NCVLI which published the above, and on whose board Steven J Kelly sat, also rewarded Concord PD Julie Curtin for her work in the Labrie trial and recommended Amanda Grady Sexton to you and/or Congresswoman Ann Kuster. $1.6 million was the grant out of which this report was written – a report on how to game the system for police, prosecutors, civil attorneys and NGOs using media.

They used the same tactics for the prosecution of Owen Labrie and the civil suits against St Paul’s School, leaking the suit to Vice Media, Concord Monitor and the Today Show instead of giving the suit to St Paul’s, the respondent. Publicly elected officials for the City of Concord were dictating the media and giving preference to Vice media gossip click-bait journalists over NHPR journalists in the criminal trial that preceded this. That should be utterly shocking.

The same tactics are being used now for the YDC cases. Your office dismissed YDC complaints for “victim negligence” and then referred plaintiffs to the NHCADSV, who work with Russ Rilee and your old partner David Vicinanzo, who represented Exeter when DCYF admitted to deleting files of child sex abuse.

Follow the money, and it doesn’t reflect well on you, the NHCADSV, the AG’s office, the NH Supreme Court, the City of Concord Council, the Police, UNH, and the law firms you are all too closely connected to: Nixon Peabody, Douglas & Leonard, Shaheen & Gordon.

Kids for Cash is an abhorrent business to be in so why are you all in it? Is this the legacy you want to leave behind for the next generation?

I have looked hard for signs of ethical walls between branches of Government in New Hampshire and the independence of the judiciary. There aren’t any, despite what Anne Edwards or others you have endorsed may claim. You are all gaming the system and abusing public funds to do so. You all make sure that your friends get into the gatekeeping positions so that none of the corruption comes out in the open. You all engage in deals behind closed doors, undermining legitimate public inquiry and creating middle-school gossip-worthy baseless rumors while hiding the most horrific of crimes by your friends and colleagues.

What is the point of laws when law enforcers don’t keep them?

Times Up/NWLC has the same PR company as “Its On Us,” which joined the NHCADSV with the #SurvivorsOverRatings to block ABC from airing the interview with Owen Labrie, which would have revealed the admissions from Prout’s attorney, who was introduced to them via Laura L Dunn, Esq., and Concord Police.

Had the interview aired, I believe that Concord Police would have been exposed for the “crooked deals” they were making with St Paul’s School. Crooked deals that were going on under your watch as AG for New Hampshire, who hired Julie Curtin and James McLaughlin for the Grand Jury Criminal Investigation, which the NHCADSV lobbied for. I know about one of those crooked deals because I was contacted by a target of one of them in Spring 2020. As a result of your careless, dangerous and lackadaisical grand jury criminal investigation into St Paul’s School, every member of that community and their families are vulnerable to have had their data unlawfully obtained and used against them – myself included.

The NHCADSV receives “pro bono” legal counsel from David Vicinanzo, your ex-partner at Nixon Peabody when you represented the Diocese of Manchester, which also relied on James F. McLaughlin’s investigations. Chuck Douglas filed dozens of the suits, just like he did with St Paul’s School and Dartmouth College.

Name one benefit to the public out of the Grand Jury Criminal Investigation into St Paul’s School? There isn’t one.

Name one benefit to the public out of the cover ups of extreme corruption in the NH Police Department, the YDC, the DCYF, the NHCADSV? There isn’t one.

Liars beget liars to cover for liars and to pay liars.

The agreement with St Paul’s School was announced by you within hours of Owen Labrie’s NH Supreme Court Appeals for which there were only three judges present because the other two recused themselves.

One wonders what those two judges knew about the extortion racket going on. The extortion racket which you endorsed by authorizing Julie Curtin to get files without warrants from St Paul’s School, to make cold calls to prospective “victims”, to train those for intercept calls to wealthy unsuspecting targets who would hire a local attorney and be told that if they paid up six figures, they could get the threat of charges to go away.

That’s blackmail. Blackmail that seems to be a business model stemming from the early days of James F McLaughlin’s practices as a sex crimes investigator in the 1980s.

Chessy Prout and her family never wanted the trial of Owen Labrie to happen, per her own account. They went along with what Julie Curtin told them to do. Julie Curtin lied on a sworn affidavit, and the NHCADSV acted as agents for the police and prosecutors by publishing tainted media before trial with ex parte comments from the prosecutor designed to influence judicial outcome – a violation of the rules of prosecutor conduct. You ordered a Grand Jury Criminal Investigation into St Paul’s School so the NHCADSV could get a contract; so two corrupt compliance officers, former police officers, could get jobs paid for by St Paul’s School but serving the expansion and corrupt business of the NHCADSV.

Donald Sullivan came out of Alexandria Police Department where his last case, I am informed, apparently involved the framing of a man who discovered that police from another department had body cam footage from interviews with witnesses, which proved his innocence. The man was allegedly set up by Donald Sullivan’s “informant.”

Meanwhile, the NHCADSV used Donald Sullivan on school day afternoons to act as a bouncer at their office downtown and pretend he was an “off-duty police officer” when, in fact, he was under full-time contract with St Paul’s School as an “independent” compliance officer – as part of the settlement agreement you made in 2018. You and your media were all so fixated on the term “independent” before the compliance officer that it’s quite obvious there’s no independence whatsoever. An “Informant”, “snitch”, or “spy” officer would be a more accurate description.

If you all want money out of St. Paul’s, then go and ask for it honestly. It is the fifth largest employer in Concord.

If you want access to alumni information and data then ask for that honestly. Don’t have your minions go in and get the files without warrants or share the information with publicly elected officials unlawfully. It’s a private school, not a gold mine, to be plundered using bribery and blackmail.

For my own part, I am deeply disturbed at how my letter to the LEACT commission got intercepted, my and my family’s information unlawfully obtained, and then used against me by a fake social media address that set out to impersonate several, including Robin Melone, St Paul’s School and Times’ Up. The integrity of your office as AG was entirely lacking.

You/your office wrote to Little Brown in 2020 to complain about the chapters pertaining to Concord PD Julie Curtin and Officer Sean Ford in Lacy Crawford’s “Memoir” “Notes on A Silencing”. It was not “reckless” (as your office claimed) to include these chapters. It was “reckless” and unlawful for you to be endorsing and protecting police corruption for an extortion racket and to cover up violent, abusive, and dishonest police officers.

You weren’t qualified to become AG or Supreme Court Chief Justice (per State requisites for the post). Safety, integrity, and public interest have come in last under your leadership.

Sincerely,

Claire Best Hawley

The post Dear Supreme Court Chief Justice Gordon MacDonald, … appeared first on Granite Grok.

This is an open letter to the 67 Republicans who voted with 152 Democrats to pass bills in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals on March 28, 2024. Did you realize what you were voting for?

California has outlawed single-family neighborhoods and built scores of stack’n’pack rental housing. The result? Their housing prices are still among the highest in the nation and climbing higher still. We’ve seen just how much homelessness and crime exist in that state, as they are at the epicenter of flash mob thefts and street encampments seen in the news. Who remembers San Francisco’s “poop map“?

Bills such as HB 1291 and the slew of other bills that were passed in the House on March 28, 2024 or “Strong Towns” day as Rep Sweeney deemed it, will basically work to favor developers while ERADICATING neighborhoods that were previously single-family zoned, all across NH!

Rep Joe Sweeney, along with Reps Alexander, Yokela and Berry are all involved in the sponsorship of these bills.

Who or what is “Strong Towns“? The organization is a New Urbanist-aligned group whose mission is “ending the suburban experiment.” This includes pushing for an “End to Highway Expansion” and parking lots (aimed at discouraging car ownership) and promoting “Incremental Housing” (multi-unit) by right in any currently existing single-family zoned neighborhood.

We want to thank CNHT for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Steve@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

Who is NH Rep. Sweeney? NH Reps like Joe Sweeney and Rep. Joe Alexander are both proud graduates of the liberal far-left Carsey Institute of UNH – a program that promotes The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to which they have linked. This mission is stated on the front page of the Carsey Institute’s website.

“The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are a touchstone for our faculty, staff, and students as we strive to make our communities more equitable and sustainable.”

So now you know on what philosophies the New Urbanism/Strong Towns agendas are based.

Our view:

– Is it the state’s purview to mandate housing? NO.
– Does this agenda benefit the taxpayers? NO.
– Is this agenda pro-family? NO.
– Is this agenda pro-middle class? NO.
– Should a political party’s platform reflect this agenda? NO.

Some of these bills seek to hand tax breaks to developers, sometimes allowing their projects to be free of property taxes for up to 7-10 years, or as SB 538 states, “tax on a qualifying structure shall not increase as a result of the substantial rehabilitation thereof or conversion from office, industrial, or commercial use to residential use.”

This tax burden is then shifted onto the homeowners in single-family neighborhoods.

If you make improvements to your home, would you be afforded the same? Hardly. Instead, your home would be assessed for an even higher amount and you would then be taxed accordingly.

These bills have provisions that not only favor developers and renters while taking the choice of living style away from 80% of all those surveyed who prefer single-family home ownership. Bills such as SB 538 shift the tax burden to homeowners thus making single-family homes even more scarce and more expensive!

SB 538 passed the Senate. It is now up to good Republicans to kill it in the HOUSE.

HB 1291, HB 1399, and HB 1361 (trailer parks?) passed the House with the help of these 67 Republicans. We can only hope the Senate will kill all of them before NH is turned into a rental nightmare.

You can accommodate renters all you want, but please don’t do it at the expense of the 80% of Americans who have aspired to or chosen to live in single-family homes.

What do you get if you morph Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff, Gavin Newsom, and J.B. Pritzker? How about Colin Van Ostern … yet another WHITE MALE who talks the talk on DIVERSITY but does not walk the walk.

That is, it is other white males, NOT them, that need to lose out on a job, an appointment, a political office, etc. to make fill-in-the-blank more diverse. Rules for thee, but not for me. In other words, the hierarchy that has been the hallmark of real-world Communism.

If you believe in DEI, as the Yogurt-Boy says he does, then your position should be that we need LESS, not more, WHITE MALES in Congress. Simply put, the Yogurt-Boy, as far as we know, is a WHITE MALE and, therefore, should not be representing the progressive CD-2 when there are much more diverse candidates.

For example, the unhinged, abortion-transfixed wine-mom Becky Whitley. As far as we know, she is NOT a WHITE MALE, which in and of itself makes her far more qualified to represent the progressive CD-2. But she is WHITE. Why should the progressive CD-2 have to settle when there are much more “diverse” candidates who would make Congress stronger because, you know, diversity is our strength.

How about Damond Ford? He checks multiple boxes in today’s Democrat Party. He is NOT a WHITE MALE. He apparently sees racist white males nearly everywhere he looks (peruse his X and see my prior posts), and he appears to have a real problem with Israel (peruse his X and see my prior posts).

And there is also Alissandra Murray. Non-binary. The courage to call restricting girls’ sports to girls “hatred” and “segregation.” Does it get more diverse than that! Another far better choice than the Yogurt Boy or the unhinged wine-mom.

Choosing a clothing line that creates high-quality promotional clothing that effectively serves organizations’ needs amidst the multitude of options available on the market can be quite daunting. This article will give you a clear overview of how any business can find a cheap custom clothing line regardless of its intended use.

The Best Way to Spot a Cheap Custom Clothing Line

Here’s a step-by-step guide for identifying a cheap custom clothing line that benefits both profit-making and non-profit organizations.

Step 1: Research custom clothing materials

Organizations that are interested in identifying cheap custom clothing lines should start by investigating the different materials that are used in the manufacturing of custom clothing. This is significant because it provides organizations with information about the range of materials available to them. They also learn about each one’s features, which helps them get value for their money. To learn more about some high-quality materials used and their benefits for your business, see these helpful tips.

Step 2: Research production techniques

Every piece of custom apparel you see being used by companies has undergone a specific set of production processes. When you have multiple clothing line lists, knowing the different production techniques available will help you identify a cheap custom clothing line. Each one has particular benefits and drawbacks, and learning about them enables you to comprehend its characteristics. With this knowledge, you can choose the production methods that are most appropriate for your needs. You also have the option to choose cheap custom clothing made with the production methods that you prefer.

Step 3: Understand the material and production cost structure

Knowing the cost structure of the production process and the materials used are vital for evaluating your list of custom clothing lines and determining which ones are the least expensive. It not only enables you to comprehend how clothing lines determine their production fees, but it also supports you in making strategic financial plans and decisions. Your comprehension of these cost structures also aids in long-term sustainability, quality control, cost efficiency, effective budget management, and bargaining power. Make sure you conduct thorough research on the cost structure.

Step 4: Evaluate the clothing line’s cost structure

Comparing the production costs that reputable clothing brands have provided you with is the final step. You already know how to compare the cost structure of clothing lines because you are aware of the materials used and production costs. Make sure to compare the costs carefully and with diligence. You will be certain to find the cheap custom clothing line on your list if you proceed in this manner.

In the Torah, in the Chapter of Leviticus 19:36, it states, “You shall have an honest balance, honest weights, an honest unit of dry good measurement, and an honest unit of wet good measurement. I יהוה am your God who freed you from the land of Egypt.” In ancient Israeli society, weights were used to measure goods as well as means of exchange, such as gold or silver, to facilitate trade.

In the Live Free or Die state, there are generally no restrictions for carrying any weapons. Granite Staters may legally carry pistols and rifles open or concealed. However, brass knuckles remain illegal to carry. Last year, the House passed House Bill 31, which would have eliminated the carrying of brass knuckles and similar self-defense tools from the list of crimes in the books. The Senate killed the bill with a voice vote. This year, ten Republican legislators proposed House Bill 1276. It again passed the House, and it is now in the Senate.

The post Bill Hearings for Week of April 01, 2024 appeared first on NH Liberty Alliance.

In January 2024, there was a meeting of the New Hampshire House State-Federal Relations and Veteran Affairs committee. The committee heard two separate bills on secession.

The first one, CACR 20, would be a constitutional amendment that would see the people of NH vote to amend the constitution to say that if the federal government’s national debt reaches $40 trillion, New Hampshire shall peacefully secede from the union.
The second one, HB1130 would form a commission to study everything we would need to know about secession, such as economic impact.

This is video of the full public hearing for both bills and the people’s testimonies.

On Wednesday morning, NHexit.US announced that local liberty activists in New Hampshire have hired a chartered airplane pilot to fly a pro-independence banner over the three largest cities in the state. Over the past few years, the calls for serious discussions on peaceful separation of New Hampshire from DC and the union have grown dramatically. New Hampshire is already home to the most influential liberty movement in the world.

Notable events since 2021 include:

• legislation to place an independence referendum on the ballot which was sponsored by nine lawmakers in the New Hampshire House
• a poll by SurveyUSA finding that almost 100% of NH residents strongly resent the federal government and 29% are ready to secede immediately
• increasing demands by lawmakers and the centrist governor telling the DC tyrants to back off 
• An abundance of pro-independence sentiment, including flags for the Granite Republic, hats, T-shirts, books, articles, and podcasts, and even a national anthem

This Saturday, an airplane banner could be added to that list. The tentative plan is for the banner to fly over Nashua, Manchester, and Concord. If you look up while in one of these cities, you just might be able to snap a photo or record a video of the banner. We encourage our readers to post their photos to social media with the tags #NHexit, #secession, and #NHpolitics. 

Additionally, the question of secession will be asked by another highly reputable pollster. The University of New Hampshire is currently conducting a political survey that includes multiple questions related to New Hampshire independence. The results could be published within days or a few weeks. 

 

 

The post Secession Airplane Banner Flying Over Merrimack Valley Saturday appeared first on Foundation for New Hampshire Independence.

A recent poll conducted by SurveyUSA on behalf of the Foundation for New Hampshire Independence (FNHI) shows that while the peaceful separation of New Hampshire from the federal government has low support among politicians, it has significant support among registered voters.

According to an overwhelming number of respondents, the people of the United States are getting more and more divided over important issues like LGBT rights, guns, abortion, election integrity, race relations, involvement in foreign wars, climate change, immigration, and so on (91%).  Nearly as many fear that if this trend continues, it will lead to increases in political violence (89%).

Large majorities of respondents agreed that the federal government doesn’t have their best interests in mind (67%); that it violates their rights more than it protects those rights (65%); that it produces laws, regulations, and court rulings that are incompatible with New Hampshire’s culture of freedom (63%); and that its financial decisions and economic regulations hurt our livelihoods, and could lead to inflation and bankruptcy (77%).

In short, 63% of respondents feel that their state can be trusted more than the federal government.

One possible way forward would be for New Hampshire to begin ignoring federal laws and regulations regarding matters reserved to the States by the 10th Amendment. Fewer than half of respondents believe that the federal government should be able to force New Hampshire to follow federal mandates and laws regarding cannabis (27%), medicine (37%), public health (42%), education (41%), welfare (42%, firearms (42%), businesses (38%), and abortion (33%).

This approach, also referred to as ‘nullification’ is common, currently being utilized by dozens of states, and is consistent with the recent enactment of New Hampshire HB 1178, ‘prohibiting the state from enforcing any federal statute, regulation, or Presidential Executive Order that restricts or regulates the right of the people to keep and bear arms’. 

However, a more comprehensive way forward would be for New Hampshire to reclaim its sovereignty, peacefully separating from the federal government to govern itself as an independent country, an idea that was supported by 29% of respondents and 52% of Republicans. Only 58% of respondents do not support immediate and full secession from the federal government today. More than 2/5 of respondents agreed that the state should be able to do this without securing permission from the federal government (43%). And only 3% of respondents would support the use of military force by the federal government to interfere with such a separation.

Again, while politicians declined to put the question to the people, more than 2/5 of respondents support the idea of placing independence on the ballot (42%) while only 47% currently oppose it.

History is filled with proposals that seemed at first to be politically impossible, but after serious discussion and evolving circumstances, proved to be politically inevitable. To take just one example, shall-issue laws for concealed carry licenses, once viewed as extreme, are now the law in nearly every state. As the results of this poll show, peaceful separation already has more support now than shall-issue laws had in 1990. Today, not only is shall-issue the norm, but 25 states allow their residents to carry concealed guns without even requiring a permit. If New Hampshire independence follows a similar path, it may only be a few short years away from broad adoption. 

The survey also found strong support for independence and extreme discontent with DC politicians among all 8 states polled. In Texas, 90% of Republicans recently endorsed putting secession on the ballot, officially placing the position in their platform. California progressives have a strong independence movement of their own, and surveys show that around half of Californians support or are open to independence from the union. Progressives in Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington also support independence. States like South Carolina, Florida, and many other states have new independence movements that are rapidly growing, as well. 

The post New Hampshire Survey Shows Disdain For DC, Support For Independence appeared first on Foundation for New Hampshire Independence.

Over the past few weeks, a group of pro-freedom activists in New Hampshire has been holding informal meetings to brainstorm how to best promote independence in the next legislative session. Predictably, progressive authoritarians have already begun to attack the concepts of independence and liberty. A few conservatives cling to hope that they can fix DC and all 50 states, convince all Democrats to embrace conservative liberty values, and ‘save America’. 

 

I have written dozens of articles, published three books, and produced hundreds of videos making the case for a national divorce from the authoritarians. Here are just 100 reasons why every New Hampshire citizen who supports freedom should support a bill and a ballot referendum on independence from DC. 

 

1. Without the federal income tax, we’d each save around $25,000/year right off the bat.
2. The IRS is corrupt, tyrannical, and about to grow by 80,000 employees and billions of dollars. Years ago, they were caught targeting conservatives. Now, they are surely much more polarized and hateful against us. I could live without them.
3. The ATF is extremely anti-gun. They have been one of the biggest reasons that federal gun control laws have grown increasingly strict. The ATF passes laws and bypasses Congress. Once the murderous criminal, Dave Chipman is confirmed as the new ATF director, things will get much worse. I could live without the ATF. Once we divorce DC by declaring independence from the union, the ATF will no longer have jurisdiction over us. 
4. The CDC is out of control, and the agency will only ever grow more tyrannical. This was before corona-fascism made the CDC into the most harmful agency to liberty of all 400 illegal executive agencies. By the way, did you know that the CDC took legal ownership over every rental property in the united states?
5. I don’t trust Joe Biden to run my life or to do anything that could impact me. I have around 28 trillion reasons for distrusting that corrupt, evil, demented sociopath. 
6. I don’t trust Congress to run my life. They have proven time and again that they support authoritarian socialism. Even with majorities in the House and the Senate and even with Trump in the White House, Congress did nearly nothing to expand liberty. But they did pass many laws that violated my natural rights. 
7. The federal government benefits from terribly untrustworthy elections, such as the one in 2020. Once HR1 passes into law, all elections in the united states will be required to abide by the same insane rules that caused us all to doubt the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
8. Once HR51 passes into law, DC will be a state, complete with two more hardcore socialist Senators. The Democrats will control the Senate forever.
9. If you aren’t a big fan of sobriety checkpoints, you’ll be happy to learn that they are federally funded. Once we divorce the feds, it’s unlikely that any local police dept. will spend the money on the checkpoints. 
10. If you aren’t a big fan of immigration checkpoints, you’ll be happy to learn that they are federally funded and/or conducted. Once we divorce the feds, it’s unlikely that any local police dept. will spend the money on the checkpoints. 
11.  Local cops only use tanks, drones, BEARcats, and other aggressive military gear against us because the feds give them those toys. Once we cut ties with DC, our local cops will return to their proper role as peace officers instead of acting as soldiers against us.
12. One of the reasons that Dictator Sununu locked us down and derailed our economy involved pressure and money from DC encouraging him to do so. 
13. If you don’t like being forced to pay for the DC politicians to wage futile endless wars in dozens of countries all over the world while veterans, women, and babies in our own communities starve on the streets, it means you want to separate from DC. 
14. If you are ready to give up on the war on drugs and stop sending cops to homes to punish people for consuming a plant, separating from DC is the first step you must take. DC politicians STILL consider cannabis a schedule one top-tier dangerous substance that is 100% illegal to possess. 
15. Do you love it when cops steal your property (car, house, money, guns, etc.) without convicting you of a crime? Well, federal law allows law enforcement to seize any property that could be involved in a past, present, or even future crime. And the feds have ‘extended’ that authority to state and local cops. Once we sever ties with DC, cops in NH lose the power of civil asset forfeiture.
16. If you ever wondered why bad cops almost never receive any punishment, you should know that ‘qualified immunity’ is a federal doctrine. Without DC, local cops become much more accountable to their neighbors.
17. The millions of federal regulations cost businesses over 2 trillion dollars each year in lost productivity. Once we divorce DC, our businesses will truly be able to unleash their creativity, making New Hampshire more prosperous than we could ever imagine.
18. Who should decide whether NH accepts illegal aliens or Afghan refugees? Biden and Pelosi or our governor and legislature?
19. Are you tired of being ruled by nine lawyers in long black robes who live in DC and have the power of Gods? If five out of the nine rule a certain way, that becomes the law for all 330,000,000 people in the united states.  
20. The federal reserve and DC politicians have overseen a decline in 99% of the US dollar’s purchasing power over the past century.
21. DC politicians have run up a debt of 28 trillion dollars and counting. And they claim that you and I are responsible for it. 
22. Nearly every politician has ambitions and eventually wishes to be sent to DC. This affects nearly every decision they make. Once DC is no longer in their minds, they will focus on what is most important: you.
23. Federal law enforcement (including the FBI) have shown themselves to be thoroughly corrupt. Even conservative commentators like Dan Bongino have called for their abolition. A few months ago, the FBI and other federal cops came to New Hampshire and violently kidnapped six of my friends. They are charging them with crimes that could result in them spending the remainder of their lives in federal prison. Their excuse? That my friends committed some victimless crimes by using and selling cryptocurrency. Once we leave DC, that will never happen again. 
24. Want a suppressor so that you can save your hearing? They are only illegal because the feds prohibit them. Without the feds, NH would be totally free, and you could put a suppressor on your SBR without any worries. 
25. Are you worried about increasingly strict EPA restrictions on vehicles, houses, and everything else? Once we divorce DC, they will have no jurisdiction over us.
26. Are you sick of random federal judges issuing injunctions that overrule actual laws passed by Congress or state legislatures? An independent NH would not have to worry one bit about federal judges.
27. The DC politicians are destroying the once-mighty American military. Their current secretary of defense and commander-in-chief continually insist that the #1 priority for their military is pleasing LGBT individuals. An independent New Hampshire could have a military with a top priority of defending us against hostile militaries. As it should be.
28. Have you accumulated a respectable net worth? Soon, the federal government will tax your net worth each year in addition to all of the other taxes. 
29. The US Congress literally does not represent you or me.
30. The federal government hates you. Especially if you are white. 
31. Multiple federal court rulings have declared that the first amendment does not protect any speech that is insulting, especially towards a government agent. 
32. Right now, even policies that you think are set by state lawmakers are really controlled by the feds via extortion. 
33. If the thought of Pelosi’s Capitol Police Force growing worries you …. You might support NH independence from DC. 
34. If you would rather have your highway taxes spent on highways … You might be a NHexiter.
35. Do you think that Facebook and Twitter are too powerful and too damaging to liberty? Federal law grants them effective immunity from lawsuits while also granting them the power to manipulate content. They get to act as both a publisher and a platform, whichever suits them at the moment. 
36. If you support sound, free-market money like gold and silver (and crypto) ….You already support NHexit. It’s only a matter of time before the feds ban them.
37. If you are afraid that Donald Trump might become President again …. You just might be a NHexiter.
38. If you are afraid that Kamala Harris might become President…. You just might be a NHexiter.
39. If you think that Title IX is a major reason that free speech and due process in colleges were destroyed, you support NHexit.
40. If you believe that boys should not have a free pass to the girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers, you support NH independence. 
41. If you can’t count the billions of federal laws….you might support independence.
42. The FDA hurts and kills patients by stifling innovation and preventing people from using medications until the FDA spends decades of time and billions of dollars approving them.
43. Cutting ties with DC would immediately and drastically cut prices and improve the availability of drugs like epinephrine, insulin, loperamide, and many others. 
44. DC politicians use the federal department of education to brainwash your children to hate freedom. Once we are independent, that goes away.
45. The federal government believes that showing online ads to specific cohorts is a crime.
46. If you are not comfortable with the REAL ID becoming a dystopian federal identification card, you might be an NHexit supporter.  
47. Support in Congress for a magazine ban is getting very close to a majority. In a few years, your magazines will be federally illegal. 
48. Once HR127 passes Congress, every firearm will be effectively illegal. Hope you’re ready to turn in your guns to the feds! You are a patriot and not a criminal, so you’d never violate federal law, right? 
49. It is very likely that Congress (or federal regulators) ban armor plates for all civilians very soon. Hope you’re ready to turn in your plates!
50. Even the best ‘conservatives’ in DC are working with Bloomberg to take away your guns.
51. Technically speaking…the federal government should not exist anymore. 
52. Federal judges have ruled that police have no legal obligation to protect you. 
53. The federal government thinks it can take your property by force, as long as it plans to use the property for anything that could benefit the government, including giving your property to companies like Pfizer. Without DC, states and localities have no power of eminent domain (AKA theft of property).
54. Federal politicians from Biden to McConnell and everyone in between consistently sell us out to oligarchs like Putin and Xi to enrich themselves. 
55. We can’t take power back from Congress, even with a Convention of States.
56. The DC politicians incentivize single motherhood and discourage employment. 
57. If you don’t believe that global warming is the biggest threat to our lives, you should not be in the same union as DC, the federal government, and the other states. 
58. If you don’t appreciate being spied on by the NSA and other creepy DC agents and politicians, you should consider divorcing them. 
59. If you don’t want to support the Taliban by providing them with money and military weapons and helicopters, you should leave the union and stop paying federal taxes. 
60. The federal government considers people guilty until proven innocent – the opposite of how it was supposed to be. Peaceful protesters have been receiving punishments in prison for months despite never being convicted. If you support due process, you support NHexit.
61. The federal TSA regularly violates our natural rights, despite literally missing 95% of actual threats. 
62. DC politicians maintain a horrifically managed ‘no-fly list’, which mistakenly puts many people (including babies) onto the list, preventing them from flying. It’s also nearly impossible to get off of the list. 
63. Conservatives from Candace Owens to Matt Walsh have spoken in support of state independence from DC. 
64. Federal government leaders believe that if you don’t wear all the masks they recommend and if you don’t get all of the vaccines they recommend, you are just like the Taliban suicide bombers. 
65. DC politicians prohibit beneficial pipelines that would have been amazing for our national security and economy while simultaneously supporting pipelines for nations that are hostile to us. 
66. Who is arming the violent Mexican drug cartels? Federal agents from DC!
67. The federal government has kidnapped innocent Japanese people and put them in concentration camps. New Hampshire has never done that. And they couldn’t ever do that. Because we all have lots of guns. 
68. The US government banned firearms and ammunition from Russia. New Hampshire would never do that.
69. The US government puts many kids in cages at the border. New Hampshire would handle immigration in a much more sensible and humane way. 
70. Things will literally never change for the better. Even with Trump in the White House and Republicans controlling Congress and the SCOTUS, freedom only diminished and tyranny continued to grow.
71. New Hampshire citizens are the hardest workers and earn the most money, which is demonstrated by our continent-leading median household income. We don’t need DC politicians to be wealthy.
72. New Hampshire is the freest state. Nearly all of our issues are caused by federal laws. Once we are independent, we will be almost 100% free to live as we please!
73. New Hampshire is the safest state. We don’t need DC or other states bringing violence to our peaceful paradise. 
74. Half of the people in the united states believe that Biden was legitimately elected and that Republicans are all traitors, while the other half believes that Biden lost the election and progressives are traitors. How could one country be united if its people hate each other so much? 
75. The DC politicians now feel so entitled to infinite power that they essentially ban medications that could help treat COVID, such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. 
76. DC politicians are so arrogant that they no longer feel the need to pass legislation in Congress; they now use executive orders to pass new laws, including the most recent one forcing all private companies in the united states with over 100 employees to vaccinate their employees or test them for COVID weekly. This will affect 80 million employees. If you don’t want DC sociopaths coming between you and your employer (or you and your doctor), you support independence. 
77. When conservative states began having success treating COVID with monoclonal antibodies Biden and DC politicians began to BLOCK the life-saving treatments from getting to pro-freedom anti-Biden states like Alabama and Florida, potentially causing people to die.
78. DC politicians have made it clear that they will continue to prioritize foreign nationals and illegal immigrants over American citizens like you and me.
79. On the other hand, DC politicians have made it very clear that Cuban immigrants are not welcome here (because they tend to vote for freedom and against communism). 
80. The Biden IRS is now going to monitor every bank account with over $600 in it so that they can tax all people who make any money in any way. Those who receive more than $600 in PayPal transactions in a year will also be subject to taxation, according to experts. Peaceful separation solves this IRS issue because the IRS would no longer have any jurisdiction over us. 
81. When NH adopted federal food laws, it made selling mushrooms illegal, among many other prohibitions. Now, the only way to make it legal for anyone in NH to sell mushrooms is to create more regulation requiring ‘licenses’, which is somewhat counterproductive. The only other way to make mushrooms legal in NH would be to sever ties with DC. 
82. Dictator Biden nominated an actual Soviet communist to be the comptroller of the currency. If you don’t want your country’s financial system to be run by an avowed communist, you support separation from DC.  
83. On 10/8/21, the preliminary deal on a GLOBAL tax on businesses was officially agreed to. A total of 136 countries have signed onto the measure, guaranteeing that they will work together to stomp out businesses seeking to evade taxes by implementing at least a 15% tax on them, no matter where they come from. Once New Hampshire becomes a self-governing state, its low (or absent) tax on business could attract so much business to the state that it could cause the biggest economic boom in world history. 
84. Dictator Biden’s OSHA implemented a vaccine mandate for nearly every worker in the united states. It is extremely unlikely that an individual could beat this in federal courts or via federal legislation. Separating from the union is actually the more practical way to nullify this mandate. 
85. A federal law to require all new cars to have passive drunk-driving monitoring technology is about to go into effect, making all cars in the united states more expensive and much more intrusive. The law does not specify, but the new technology may be tantamount to perpetual breathalyzers and/or eye monitoring in every car. 
86. The medical system and all medical institutions in the united states are becoming increasingly racist towards whites, and it all starts with DC politicians. 
87. The Supreme Court is composed of 9 judges. The SCOTUS is perhaps the most powerful entity in the united states now. These nine judges are either evil or mentally retarded. They certainly do not believe in freedom. Is that who you want to be ruled by?
88. The US House of Representatives passed legislation that would take over control of elections, taking the power that always resided with the states and granting it to DC politicians. Among the many measures in the legislative package was a law that prohibited any election in the united states from requiring ID in order to vote. New Hampshire citizens who would like to retain their voter ID law must either support secession or give up voter ID forever once this federal law passes. 
89. DC politicians just passed a law mandating that all vehicles made after 2026 be equipped with perpetual monitoring systems to detect ‘impaired driving’. The vehicles must also have ‘kill switches’ that allow cops to turn them off at any moment. If you don’t like this policy, secession is the only solution. 
90. In the summer of 2022, federal government will begin to require facial recognition/uploading pictures of your face in order to access tax/ documents on the IRS website.
91. The President announced that the next US Supreme Court Judge he nominates will be a black woman. Upon joining the court, she will likely hear a massively important case involving ‘affirmative action’.
92. DC politicians are literally stealing our organs. In 2021, a policy change at UNOS essentially caused nearly all organs from donors in New Hampshire to be sent to NYC, CT, and MA, harming New Hampshire’s patients who desperately need organs to live. DC is viciously fighting NH legislation that would allow Granite Staters to state their preference that their neighbors be granted priority over foreigners if they pass away with viable organs. 
93. The brilliant experts in DC are using $30,000,000 in taxpayer funds to give out drug paraphernalia, including crack pipes, to drug users. The statement from the DC politicians specifically mentioned that they are being distributed primarily to minorities and that they are to be used for illegal drugs. 
94. Our Lords in DC believe that they must force New Hampshire to build more housing projects so that our state could look more like the Bronx.  
95. Our brilliant Lords in DC are destroying our savings and devaluing our salaries by printing so much money that annual inflation is now at a frightening 9.1% annual rate.
96. DC politicians have been forcing you and me to pay for dangerous bioweapons labs in Ukraine for years. 
97. Your federal tax dollars are being used to pay Tik Tok influencers to create and promote propaganda approved by Dictator Biden. If you don’t want to be forced to fund such endeavors, you may want to consider secession. 
98. If you don’t enjoy paying $6 billion for the annual NIAID budget doled out by Anthony Fauci to fund foreign bioweapons labs and development and approval of ludicrously expensive patented pharmaceuticals and suppress use of cheap off-patent drug, you should consider supporting a vote of NH residents to leave the union.
99. The federal government violates free speech in numerous ways. Leaving their jurisdiction solves these issues and restores freedom of speech, expression, press, association, and worship. 
100. The federal government is increasingly racist. Most recently, Dictator Biden nominated a black woman to be a judge on the highest court because of her gender and skin color. Ironically, she will likely soon be ruling on an affirmative action case.
