This Thursday, May 11, HB614 goes to the New Hampshire Senate floor. We received a bad recommendation from the judiciary committee with a vote of 4-1 to kill the bill. Let’s all push the message on social media, in the press, and our email lists. We can overturn the recommendation by refuting the law enforcement claim that this bill is devastating to their opioid battle. More…

Warner gun range plan sparks regional response
A proposed indoor gun range here is prompting the town next door, Hopkinton, to weigh in.

Democratic Party in chaos
The American political landscape is a mess, in large part because one of our two major political parties is not only in chaos, but has absolutely no sense of its identity.This party is in complete disarray, lacking leadership, vision and focus.
