The Federal government has gone far enough. We need to draw a line in the sand. If there is further egregious, serious disrespect of the US Constitution by the Federal government, then New Hampshire must reclaim its sovereignty.
HCR6 came out of committee with a surprise "Inexpedient to Legislate" recommendation.
For those that remember it, this is a replay of the resistance against the bills to get NH out of Real-ID. This is unacceptable. Fortunately, we have a playb

I have had the discussion about a future ‘rebellion’ many times with many folks. Our own editor here at American Daily Review John Barnhart and I routinely discuss the possibility, likelihood etc of an actual uprising. Often many folks disregard such speculation or talk. I am telling you it is not only ‘possible’ it

I thought many of you would be keen to check out E-thepeople's new national voter guide - http://thevoterguide.org - a collaboration with about 100 local news organizations that lets voters see the races they're eligible to vote in and compare candidates side by side.
If you think it's really cool, we also have a widget that can jump voters directly to their online ballot - at http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/ethepeoplevoterguide.
Hope y'all like!

A cold coming we had of it,
Just the worst time of the year
For a journey, and such a long journey:
The ways deep and the weather sharp,
The very dead of winter.
And the camels galled, sore-footed, refractory,
Lying down in the melting snow.
There were times when we regretted
The summer…

I am a bit unsure of the mission of this fine social network (well done on setting it up, VoterWatch!). I have covered reform politics- mostly government reform- since I started my blog All Things Reform. I have considered transparency and openness an integral part of the reform community I follow.
The title of this Ning, however, is "Transparency Matters: Where transparency and the public interest collide." I have never espoused such a conflict, as I have always considered the transparency eff…
