Not So Secret Fact about Voter ID – We Don’t Need Democrats To Pass It

The only reason we do not have a voter ID law in New Hampshire is because Republicans didn’t vote to override a veto.  We don’t need Lynch to like the bill.  We don’t need one single Democrat in the entire legislature to like it either.  We just need a few more GOP House members to like it and to vote to override any new veto.

So while the Democrats (and RINO’s)  help us keep this in the news with talk about pressing charges, dust off HB356-FN (it is waiting in the Election Law Committee) and get it to the House floor.

Figure out how to tweak it to get enough votes to override a veto and pass it.  Ask those Republicans who refused to override the Lynch veto if they might now see a reason to tighten up the process.  And at the very least, make them vote on it again (Roll Call) so we can have a list to work with come November (for both parties).

And a quick note to the Democrats and their so-called non-partisan, non-profit fellow travelers (who only support Democrats and left wing causes); if you charge the Veritas folks with a crime, the simplicity with which people can use the names of dead people to obtain a ballot and corrupt the vote…that might keep coming up.

So by all means, please continue to not give a damn about that huge hole that was just exposed in statewide ballot integrity.  Nothing says you support the ability to steal votes than…um…supporting the ability to steal votes.  And everyday you run away from it or refuse to fix it is another day we get to talk about it.

How Libertarians View The Republican Party

JP Marzullo Comes Out of the Closet?

Note to the world: even if one of my three children turns out to be a homosexual--and no I will not love or care for them any less if they do--I still would not publicly prostitute myself and my principles to the progressive agenda.  NHGOP Area 3 Vice Chair J.P. Marzullo, on the other hand, does not have a problem with that.  And it is not so much the topic that suggests a progressive thread in the fabric of his otherwise pro-liberty, family values life, as it is the way in he attempts to make his argument.

The vehicle is a November 1st editorial in the Concord monitor in which Marzullo pokes at our 'Tiny Tim' gland, pleading with New Hampshire Republican legislators to vote against any change in New Hampshire's current homosexual marriage law.  And like any seasoned social justice Democrat, we get both barrels from the empathy gun.  How God was showing him his own personal need to be more understanding and tolerant nineteen years ago.  He provides suicide estimates for gay teenagers (I have no idea why).   He fingers divorce as a greater danger to the family than Gay marriage (without reminding you that similar left wing social engineering and meddling in 'marriage' is almost entirely responsible for the divorce problem).   We even get the 'Gay Americans are legal citizens and productive members of society who fight in the military" routine.

Democrat Chairman Ray Buckley could have wrote this. So has JP come out of the progressive closet?

To be fair he may be an outstanding Republican by every other measure, and that's great, but he's clearly got a blind spot when it comes to this issue and the idea of rights, and it invalidates his entire testimony.  He is emotionally compromised.  So much so that he ignores the real problem.  The push for "Gay marriage," like most other Democrat campaigns, has nothing to do with the contractual union of two people who think they love each other.  It is just the latest war machine in a centuries long siege on the language and any institution that could detract from the dominant role of government in our daily lives.  As a Republican Area Vice Chair, he should know better.

But even if we ignore that, Marzullo does not even try to explain why civil unions, which have been a perfectly acceptable foundation for heterosexual marriage, and are readily available to any couple, are somehow incompatible with his social vision when the couple happens to have matching genitalia?

Is the Area 3 GOP Vice Chair telling us that anyone who has ever been joined in a civil service (a civil union) cannot provide our state with an equal foundation upon which to build strong family values? Are we to understand that they do not have the same civil protections as couples who were were joined in a traditional marriage?

Does the Area 3 GOP Vice Chair know that the House bill defends the civil union provision of the existing statute?  Civil service unions for anyone unwilling or unable to seek a traditional marriage are not hampered in any way.  As a matter of principle, the state continues to represent its interest in protecting this civil and legal contract regardless of whom you think you love. (with exceptions for age, relationship to would-be spouse...etc.)

So where is the injustice?  There isn't any.  It's all a lie, coated in crocodile tears, and served on a cold plate to make the uneducated sympathetic to a problem that does not even exist in New Hampshire, and JP Marzullo is selling that lie. 

People joined in a civil service are just as legal, just as productive, and just as willing to lay down their lives in the military as people who are joined in a traditional marriage.  There is no difference.  So returning the definition of traditional marriage to its rightful place will do none of the supposed harms the left or their new GOP spokesperson suggest.

And if it matters, if ever I have a child who believes deep down that they are a homosexual, and they find someone they love and want to be with, I'll still love and care for them just as I always have, but I'll tell them another secret we Heterosexuals only seem to know about...

When we seek a civil service to form a legal union, we don't storm the State House, or make a scene, or insist that we change the laws or the language...we just call it a marriage and no one is the wiser for it.

Out of State Influence Gets 'Republican' Kevin Janvrin Elected.

I can't get enough of Democrat Ray Buckley, Kathy Sullivan, and even Governor Lynch unloading two barrels of hypocrisy on the issue of out of state money or the excessive influence of PACs on local politics.  Sitting atop their mountains of out of state money they are forever demagoging the issue.   So I am waiting patiently for them to denounce the newly elected Republican House Rep from Rockingham county, Kevin Janvrin, who has finance reports that just scream "Shill to extremist, outside influence."

Here are a few examples.

CWA District One - Union PAC based in New York City

IAFF -Union PAC - NY (DC) ( $1000.00 6/2011)

IAFF - Union PAC - NY (DC) ($1,000.00 7/2011)

Uniformed Professional FF - Union PAC - Connecticut

Andover FF - Union PAC - Andover Massachusetts

We also have contributions from the PROF FF MASS, TENN Prof FF, Prof FF Vermont, and the IUPAT, all out of state Union PAC money.

All totaled the 'Republican' Janvrin, has received almost $5,000.00 in donations from hostile out of state unions, to both win the primary, and the general election, for one New Hampshire House seat.

Then we have the local union PAC's, NH SEA; NH Educators; MA & NNE Laborers; Nashua FF; MPFFA, IBEW, SMWIA, Plumbers and Steam Fitters, IRON Workers Union, and Granite State Teamsters, all union PAC's, donating in total, over $2500.00 to the 'Republican' Janvrin.

David Lang the head of the PFFNH has also donated personally to Janvrin and Janvrin has even paid the PFFNH, from his campaign, for yard signs.

So a laundry list of out of state Union PACs, hostile to the Republican party platform, and who historically donate exclusively to democrats and left wing causes, have had a disproportional impact on an in-state election.  As a special interest group, union donations from all sources account for over $7500.00 dollars  to this 'Republican' candidate.  In fact almost all of his donations are from democrat run unions, and democrat union supporters, (close to 90% of all donations), with only a few exceptions, like former state senator Bob Clegg, and the Rockingham County GOP committee.

Kevin Janvrin was elected by union money and  union power, to vote the union agenda.

Now, I get that the GOP state party and even elected GOP officials, have to be welcoming and cordial.  That's just part of the PR presence and should not necessarily be used as a measure of their 'Republican cred.'  But  Janvrin is a Hostile Democrat/Union plant, and you'd have to be incredibly naive to think that he is not expected to vote the union democrat agenda from his "Republican" House seat.  So for those of you thinking about calling me divisive, I couldn't break the 11th commandment if I tried because this guy is not a Republican.

And in case you had not noticed, the silence from the NHDP only confirms this.  The unbalanced, corrupting influence of out of state money and special interest donors, on a local election, is suddenly inconsequential when it is democrats donors and outside union influence that helped get Janvrin elected.  He is one of them.  How could they possibly object to how he attained his office?

Honey Puterbaugh for State Rep

We'd like all the NHI readers to show their support for Honey Puterbaugh in the August 9th Special election.  This New Hampshire House seat serves the towns of Farmington, New Durham, Middleton, Milton, Barrington and Strafford.

You can make a donation to her campaign, give some time, or do nothing and let some spend and tax leftist win the seat.  Does the left really need any more influence than they already have in Concord?  We've seen what they do up there. 

Honey is a solid small government candidate who will do her best to keep the state off your back and out of your face.  She will support realistic revenue projections, budgets that address real world needs instead of ideological wants.  And as a homeschooler, she supports real choice in education.

Don't fall asleep at the wheel.  Get out and support this great candidate for the New Hampshire House.  Remember.... the alternative is another lock-step, sovereignty killing, anti-second amendment, debt building, busy-body, nanny-state, anti-free-speech, pro-Obama, left wing big government Norelli clone.  (Every other kind gets marginalized or run out by the lefty leadership.)

Support Puterbaugh or you will literally have to PAY the consequences.
