Become An Informed NO Voter

Here is part of an email I was sent from a resident from a small town that has a SB#2 Town Meeting. The SB#2, or RSA 40:13, Town Meeting consists of a “deliberative session” before the actual Town Meeting where everyone has an opportunity to vote – BY SECRET BALLOT.

There has been an unconstitutional trick pulled on voters at SB#2 towns and schools which leaves the choices of the ballot voting taxpayers limited and which also strips petitioners of any chance certain petitioned warrant articles will come before voters through secret ballots.

Here is what happened in this small town:

THE PETITION WAS:

"ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF COMBINING THE POSITION OF TAX COLLECTOR AND TOWN CLERK THEREBY CREATING ANEW OFFICE OF TOWN CLERK-TAX COLLECTOR TO BE HELD BY ONE INDIVIDUAL FOR A

3 YEAR TERM AT A SALERY OF $40,000?

THEY AMENDED IT TO SAY:

"ARE YOU IN FAVOR"?      ELIMINATING ALL THE WORDS AFTER THAT.

NOTHING ELSE.

THERE WILL AN ARTICLE THAT ONLY SAYS  - "ARE YOU IN FAVOR" !

So a small group of people at the deliberative session stripped all the relevant language from a warrant article brought by citizen’s petition. There will be absolutely no chance anyone voting by ballot will vote for a combined Town Clerk, Tax Collector position.

A superior court in NH has affirmed this unconstitutional practice as being the same as zero-funding a warrant article.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Historically, voters at a traditional town meeting would replace a dollar figure on a warrant article with zero to in effect kill it – but everyone at least knew what was being zero-funded.

To take a citizens petition and deny ballot voters the opportunity, and petitioners the right, to have on the ballot the wording on a citizens petition is an abomination.

I understand completely how tax and spenders consider it an abomination to have too many people in town decide what is best for everyone else. It is in their nature.

I also understand how NH Superior Courts work as well. They have a habit of stepping on taxpayers rights.

But taxpayers still have a tool left to them until we can end this practice – vote NO on everything. Become an informed NO voter.

If there is a new fire truck or cruiser on the ballot let the fire chief and police chief know why you will be voting NO on their warrant articles, teachers raises – same thing.

Once the clique at your deliberative session gets a phone call from the local powers-that-be that their nasty habit of gutting petitioned warrant articles cost everyone - it will stop.

I remember how you cried and brayed like a little baby when the fools who wanted a high school in Bedford did that trick to your half-witted campaign against it. They won. You lost. My taxes went up. You're no conservative, you're just in love with the sound of your own voice.

I agree with Ed. When I was in the military I did a lot of absentee voting. I had simple rules. All increasd taxes and bonds were easy NO. Then I was left with candidates. I automatically eliminated all teachers and lawyers from the list based on their obvious conflict of interest. Then I looked for somebody with a real job and used my family and friends to pick the best of the rest.

Dave:

Being an informed NO voter works, and in the coming years as unsustainable liberal spending has caught up with municipalities, schools, counties, states, and even the money printers in Washington, it will be the only alternative.

We could also use some serious pension, health care, and benefits reform in larger NH towns and cities.

And I know this will happen because the Party of Raybo has nothing left to dish out for free to YES voters.

Also, Dave, you're a smart guy. Do you think the liberals, socialists, and assorted moonbats running the Democrat's Party for them will figure out that the coming election slaughter of Dems is mostly Raybo's fault? Where does a lump like that get a new gig in December?

Raybo's friends have bought and paid for the NH Dems. Remember how how easy it was for them to ignore his past 'transgressions' because of the deep out of state pockets from people who 'like' Raybo. He makes a great pimp (but what does that make his party?). The Utube zipper video says it all. The NH Dems just can't say no to his offer.

@IRememberEd: And, where were YOU in the fight? Doing nothing since you are likely a troll here and had nothing to do with it. Half-witted? I didn't think Ed controlled the weather, genius.

If that post of yours Raybo is not a trolling I don't know what is. Ed should delete all troll posts such as yours.
