New Hampshire succeeds
New Hampshire legisature ^

Posted on 02/04/2009 7:03:19 AM PST by freedom lives

A RESOLUTION affirming States’ rights based on Jeffersonian principles.

Whereas the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, Part 1, Article 7 declares that the people of this State have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent State; and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right, pertaining thereto, which is not, or may not hereafter be, by them expressly delegated to the United States of America in congress assembled; and

Whereas the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, Part 2, Article 1 declares that the people inhabiting the territory formerly called the province of New Hampshire, do hereby solemnly and mutually agree with each other, to form themselves into a free, sovereign and independent body-politic, or State, by the name of The State of New Hampshire; and

Whereas the State of New Hampshire when ratifying the Constitution for the United States of America recommended as a change, “First That it be Explicitly declared that all Powers not expressly & particularly Delegated by the aforesaid are reserved to the several States to be, by them Exercised;” and

Whereas the other States that included recommendations, to wit Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Virginia, included an identical or similar recommended change; and

Whereas these recommended changes were incorporated as the ninth amendment, the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people, and the tenth amendment, the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people, to the Constitution for the United States of America; now, therefore, be it

Its a digital world. And... a New Hampshire currency will be stronger than what is left of the American dollar. Lots of small nation states with hi-tech and sound money. No income tax in NH makes it a PERFECT TAX HAVEN for global rich people fleeing socialist states. Think the Switzerland of the Western Hemisphere!

That somehow dividing will make us stronger?

Like we are strong today! The dream is over. Time to restructure into functional states. We can cut treaties later. For now, its a rush to freedom...

it's far from a socialist nightmare like massholechussetts.

Yeah, I love paying a property tax that includes a "view tax." Good stuff. Real conservatism at work.

Oh, ok. Pardon me. Let's just surrender to the left and live happily ever after as serfs! My ancestors didn't die to create this country so that Europeans could reconquer from within. If you want to live in a united socialist state, please move to the EU. We intent to agitate to preserve our freedoms and our constitution.

Where do you think all the massholes would go? Hell who do you think would be voting for this stupidity anyway? They will do anything thing to destroy the USA and you are openly advocating helping them with your pledge of a vote to secede.

No thanks, Johnny Reb. We like indoor plumbing.

Anytime you and your New Honest Abe leader want to come down here and start something, me and the boys will be waiting. Have a nice day in your Yankee socialist Utopia. One day I wish to be free from it. I guess we'll see. First you took away our states rights by force, now you're craming socialism down our gullets. Enough already.

You think you will win anything by splitting up the USA? That's what they desire, divide and conquer is their MO. How about instead of tucking tail and trying to run away you stand with your fellow citizens and try to take our whole country back instead starting by surrendering most of it to them.

Are you high?

New Hampshire is a nice place---I know, I live near there and have property there---but it would cease to exist if it ever tried to go at it alone. Every single town on the Massachusetts border would collapse if people from MA faced restrictions to shop there. Kids couldn't go to school if Massholes like me didn't pay an exorbitant property tax . . . that doesn't include the right to participate in the elective process, by the way.

This is the silliest thing ever.

The liberal elite have wet dreams of being the new party of Lincoln to “preserve the union” while implementing a totalitarian state.

I’ll believe they are serious about it when they reject all Federal grant and entitlement monies.

WE settled New Hampshire in 1638. WE know what we are talking about. YOU need to either understand the power that created the Great Rebellion and the consequential Republic or YOU need to shag your butt back to Europe and live happily ever after. In our day, we called you folks TORYS. Try Canada like the rest of them.

Postulating here but; unlike your Yankee feel good side, our side probably won't be MANNED with women and Village People rejects. Just a hunch.

I like peace first. I tried that on November 4th. Americans have lost the vision. They elected a communist. Our country is dead. So, we can secede peacefully or we can tear the place up in civil war. I like peace first. But...
