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.
You must know. You said I was a "GOP paid hack."
Well, even smart Northeasterners can convince themselves something is true, when its not.
BTW, I'll be pulling for your PATS on Sunday and in the Super Bowl. They're almost a perfect team.
That said I would put my activism for this family of Northeastern liberals against nearly all of those that bash me for speaking ill of him.
Many Americans think that just by being "for" something they're somehow good or elite or whatever. As if by taking a position that makes them compassionate, Godly, righteous etc. When it really does nothing. Who cares what you're "for".
It's liberal garbage-think. Like the liberal politician who makes himself out to be a great guy because he can spend YOUR money on welfare, or invite an exodus from the Southern hemisphere on YOUR back.
Anyone can be "for" something and flap their gums, that takes no effort or sacrifice whatsoever.
Hope to see the FSP do well up there. One of the western states(Nevada?) has a bill authorizing sucession if martial law is imposed trying to get to the floor for debate, don't think it's going anywhere. Still nice to see the states start to act like they have some say in government.
Government powers were limited for good reason. That concept is lost on the womb to tomb crowd, whither it be on health care or "safety".
