NH Senate Guts Protection Against Federal REAL ID Act

Today, on "Against the Grain", Seth Cohn of the NH Liberty Alliance joined Gard to discuss the vote on Thursday evening in the NH Senate.

14 Republicans voted to amend HB 1582, which would have rebuffed the federal government over the anti-constitutional REAL ID Act, insuring that NH retain authority to issue its own driver's licenses as its government sees fit.

The bill is not dead. As amended, it will have to go back to a conference committee with the House. Unfortunately, Senate President Gatsas, who opposes HB 1582, gets to select the members of the Senate delegation for the committee.

It is important to let Senator Gatsas know that we want 1582 passed as originally written. You can call 271-2111 to leave him a message.

Well done, Seth, Joel Winters, Jenn Coffey, Karl Beisel and ao many others involved in trying to get 1582 through a very difficult political jungle.
