On Friday, I reported about the resolution being prepared in the New Hampshire State Legislature to fight the unconstitutional socialization and centralization of our federal government. Yesterday the resolution was introduced to the legislature with very strong wording that certain acts by the federal government would be seen as a "breach of peace" with the states, and "nullifying the Constitution."

Live free or move to Massachusetts?.........
Hmmm... What are the odds of this passing? Don’t get me wrong, I love it, but I am just not encouraged that the people and governments of this country are up to anything like this.
A certain segment of the populace is watching these events transpire with the utmost interest.
Like who?
Ping.
Does NH have the votes to get this passed?
Is New Hampshire a conservative state? I wouldn’t think so because of the location...
Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Jefferson.
James Madison.
The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions(or Resolves) were important political statements in favor of states’ rights written secretly by Vice President Thomas Jefferson (who would later become president) and James Madison in 1798, respectively. They were passed by the two states in opposition to the federal Alien and Sedition Acts. Though often mentioned as a pair in modern historical discussions, they were actually two separate documents. The Kentucky Resolutions (plural) were written by Jefferson and passed by the state legislature on November 16, 1798, with one more being passed the following year on December 3, 1799. The Virginia Resolution (singular) was written by Madison and passed by the state legislature on December 24, 1798. Jefferson and Madison collaborated on the writing of the two documents, but their authorship was not known for many years. The resolutions attacked the Sedition Acts, which extended the powers of the federal government. The resolutions declared that the Constitution was a “compact.” That is, it was an agreement among the states. The federal government had no right to exercise powers not specifically delegated to it; should the federal government assume such powers, its acts under them would be void. Thus it was the right of the states to decide as to the constitutionality of such laws passed by Congress.
The resolutions were submitted to the other states for approval but with no success. In New Hampshire, newspapers treated them as military threats and replied with sinister foreshadowings of civil war. “We think it highly probable that Virginia and Kentucky will be sadly disappointed in their infernal plan of exciting insurrections and tumults,” proclaimed one....

It was until just a few years ago. It was the last bastion of libertarianism/conservatism in the Northeast, until the Massholes moved in. It didn’t help that the snake handlers became the most vocal faction of the conservative movement either.
Like me!
NH *used* to be a conservative state, but then the MA$$HOLES started moving across the border to escape TAXACHUSSETTS.
Surprise - they brought their socialist agenda with them and are totally screwing up the southern portion of the state now.
And let’s not forget liberal bastions like Hanover. Dartmouth College breeds libtards.
Push it NH right up to martial law dictated...
I LIKE the sound of this!
It sounds like what the Counties did to the Forest Service out West during the Sagebrush Rebellion.
What the Legislature of New Hampshire said is how the framers of the constitution intended it to be established.
One of the most interesting books I have in my library is a copy of James Madison’s notes taken during the Constitutional Convention.
I am not sure about the punitive removal powers given to the Federal Government, but all else looks great to me.
I would like to see the same thing happen in Texas.
If only they had the votes!
Yes, let’s do it!
I’ve contacted Eltife and asked him why we’re not at the forefront. There’s over 20 states with similar language being formed and we’re not one of them.
It would be nice if this movement swept the nation, and if it had teeth. Right now it’s little more than an empty gesture.
