STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Three

AN ACT nullifying the USA Patriot Act.

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

1 Purpose. New Hampshire supports the constitutions of New Hampshire and of the United States; therefore, New Hampshire is taking this position against the USA Patriot Act, along with other states and communities, because:

I. The USA Patriot Act blatantly violates both the constitutions of New Hampshire and of the United States. Because of this violation, the USA Patriot Act poses a greater threat to the security and freedom of the residents of both New Hampshire and of the United States.

II. It seems that the well being and security of the United States and of the sovereign states is not truly of paramount interest to the drafters of the USA Patriot Act since the drafters ignored concerns of the generals of our Joint Chiefs of Staff that our homeland security is at major risk because the federal government has relinquished its Article 1 Section 8 Clause 3 responsibilities by its actions of having given the United States production and supply capability to foreign powers and influences, as a result of treaties like GATT, NAFTA, treaties with the World Trade Organization, and other ill begotten commercial treaties and agreements; which means that if we or our allies are attacked we are in serious jeopardy of not being able to supply our troops or our allies, especially if we are attacked by the powers to whom we have given our production capability.

III. With this in mind and to resolve this very serious homeland security situation, New Hampshire is additionally insisting that the nation and all the states rebuild our manufacturing and production capabilities and accomplish this rebuilding with a similar philosophy and the strategies our nation used when putting a man on the moon.

2 Nullification of the USA Patriot Act. The state of New Hampshire shall no longer recognize the USA Patriot Act, including any subsequent rules, executive orders, or judicial interpretations to have effect or to be binding on the state or on the residents of this state.

3 Copies. The clerk of the house of representatives shall send copies of this act to the President of the United States, the New Hampshire Congressional delegation, and to the speakers of the house of representatives of the other 49 states.

4 Effective Date. This act shall take effect January 1, 2005.

The Theory of Nullification was put to rest at Appomatox Court House in 1865.

Well before that, actually.

During the "Nullification Crisis" of the 1830's, it was said of South Carolina, "Too small for a Republic; too large for an insane asylum."

New Hampshire, if the shoe fits ...

I don't want to use up your air but, are these the same good ole comservatives who elect those detestable low life Dem's and try and pass these types of good ole boy wave the flag pro terror rules. I hear what your saying but, I see what your doing.

"Being that they are nothing like yourself"

You got that right. I'm definetly not confused over how to best protect this country from liberals who think freedom means the right to just do anything you please. Sorry

And you know what? If I had ever seen you ever be critical of Bush on anything- I might believe a single word you say. But as it is now and on this site? Your word is worthless. Bushbot hack- find employement elsewhere.

I love Michelle and if I wasn't married I wouldn't mind having her spank me, but she's very wrong on this.

She's a woman who loves security (as most do) but the Patriot Act is illegal. No matter how good an idea everyone thinks it is, we're not a nation of "good ideas". We're nation of laws. We're not a nation where if you work for the government you're allowed to rob people's houses, hack thier computers or stick your fat face into their finances because they deposited too much money.

The USA PATRIOT ACT is not patriotic in any way shape or form, it's a stinky turd pile.

I hate to point this out, but that was being done before 9-11. The PATRIOT Act has nothing to do with that.

And you know what? If I'd read one single post from you that PRAISED anything Bush did or said, I'd believe you too.

If my word is worthless, yours is even more worthless.

Your agenda as a contrarian to all things Bush is well known, and you're even ridiculed for it.

And, I notice you didn't dispute that a Federal Court would overturn a ruling from a state legislature on a Federal Law. Instead, you launched into ad hominems. Typical of your anti-Bush position.

Go "f" yourself. Some of us- joined the GOP when we were young and wanted change and believed in Conservatism. You are just a party hack who has nothing but disdain for those outside of your Beltway Circle. Go and have fun. You are not us.

Why are you so angry? You don't own the GOP, no matter how long you've been on this site (I've been here just as long).

Your attack has nothing to do with whether or not New Hampshire can ignore the Patriot Act, which was the subject of my original post.

Instead of addressing that, you launch into a personal attack.

Complete with the obligatory "F" bomb that comes from somebody who has run out of things to say.

Calm down. I'm not going anywhere, and neither are you, unless you continue to sling profanity.

Sory for the "F" bombs. Not nice, sorry. But the point of my post stays the same. I don't think I actually posted a full curse word.

I can't speak for the other poster, but some of us donated, protested, volunteered and worked for Bush.

You did, and continue to do nothing but run head. You even admit that you do nothing, not even give money.

You give great... let's call it "lip service".

And you think that gives you carte blance to trash him at every opportunity.

If I vote for Bush in 2004, and you don't, who's done Bush the most good?

I did running work for his father and passed out pamphlets all over Wellesley Mass for Bush I and the guy I really cared about, John Locke who was the Senate minority leader for 20 years.
