Thanks to Denis Goddard and those who have been working so diligently to guide the state government away from the folly of accepting the stipulations of REAL ID, we offer this information.

The battle is now in the Executive Council, and will require devoted individuals to contact their Councilor and express their concern about REAL ID. Denis has provided more information:

This is a Freedom State of Emergency. Please help!

Even if you don't normally engage in the political process, can you take
the 10 minutes out of your day to call these five people and just make
your opinon known? PLEASE??

As "Against The Grain" opens, it takes on the FTC, and state governors kneeling before the altar of the federal government for handouts -- money that was ALREADY taken from the people of NH.

Second District Congressman Charlie "Three Terms" Bass has voted against allowing oil and natural gas drilling off the coast of any states. This coming at a time when Americans are sounding off about gas prices, and Charlie has called for investigations into "high earnings" by the evil oil companies. The US government has forbidden new drilling off tha coast since 1981.

Hi, Charlie!

At this time when so many look to government as the source of charity and goodness, of community spirit and neighborliness, one's mind returns to the time of Rep. David Crockett, and what he once learned from a constituent.

We miss people like them.

As the waters rose, so did the political rhetoric.

During a time of natural disaster, citizens of NH must hold to their principles, and remember to avoid the temptation of looking to government for help. This segment from 'Against the Grain' reiterates this important point.

As it did last fall, rain drenches New Hampshire to the point of flooding, and, as they did last fall, NH politicians and federal "officials" promise to save the day with government assistance (ie money that has already been taken from us without our direct approval, or money that will be borrowed with the promise of repayment with our tax Dollars).

We rarely question this paradigm. When Representative Dan Eaton proposed spending $4 million of other peoples' money to buy outright the homes of flood victims in Alstead, his idea was met with resounding approval.

It shows we care, they said. It shows the best of NH government in action.

Ian, of FTL, and Gard, of ATG, combine forces once more, entering the breech of political disputation against the statists!

This time, they are aided by the resourceful Sam Cohen, of ProGun New Hampshire, find them at www.PGNH.org.

Number Six recently issued a Mass Mailer to all Conspirators, letting them know the latest on two important matters of concern.

The following is the text of the letter, providing up to date information from the NH capital:

Number 85 reports today that, following the Senate vote to "study" HB 1582 (which would rebuff the federal government over the anti-constitutional requirements of REAL ID), supporters of the bill in the House attached the original provisions of HB 1582 to their version of SB399. SB 399, mentioned earlier here at the Conspiracy, would give the executive branch, and the Commisssioner of Health and Human Services, power to commandeer medicines, prevent gatherings of private citizens, and biologically cleanse private buildings during times of "emergency".

Identity Crisis: How Identification is Overused and Misunderstood

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.

A little stroll down memory lane with Senator "Straight Talk" McCain, and an update on political pressure on local schools. Lovely!

Chatting with Bill Unfairro, a local businessman defending his industry, or, at least defending it in a way that Chuck Schumer would love.

More, with Myron ebell of CEi (www.CEI.org) on gas prices and political rhetoric.

Plus, an interview with Bill Unfairro, owner of a nearby gas station. He's a man who can really tell us the truth about gas prices.

Remembering the man who said, "Live Free or Die!"

Comments on the "Downeaster" train in Maine, NH, and Mass. The politicians will try any ploy they can to pilfer your money, and that of your neighbor. This segment of "Against the Grain" exposes the fallacies underlying government train systems, and looks at the misapprehensions that prompt even respected economists like Milton Friedman to view higher gas prises as a causitive factor behind inflation.

Gardner Goldsmith explains why this is not the case.

Lionel Tracey, Commissioner of Ed for NH, and former recipient of the "Moronic Quote of the Week", appeared on "Against the Grain" with Gardner Goldsmith. Here is his attempt to defend his belief that the state government should impose a requirement on towns that they keep teens in school until they are eighteen.

The bill, SB 268, was dealt a deadly blow last week, when it was recommended that it be put off this session for further study. Commissioner Tracey stated this was politically driven:

"This is not a vote that has anything to do with kids, and that's too bad," he said.

Hear Mr. Tracey, and find out why he received the "Moronic Quote" award on ""Against the Grain".

This is the second part of our coverage of McCain and Jeanne Diamond. The mindset she displays is pernicious, deadly to a free society.

When John McCain visited NH over the weekend of April 8 and 9, 2006, he was featured at a "Town Meeting" in Keene.

Hosted by Congressaman Charlie "Three Terms" Bass, the meeting was attended by people who had many questions for the Arizona Senator.

One of those people was Keene resident Jeanne Diamond. This is her story -- or part of it. It is the story of a peson who has no idea why government is created.

The Conspiracy would like to acknowledge the efforts of Joel Winters and many others in their brilliant articulation of the matters of concern regarding the federal REAL ID act.

Thanks to their work, many news outlets were given an opportunity to learn about how the state of NH can choose not to conform to the REAL ID act, which would be an incredible financial burden on the state, would further harm the concept of federalism, would run contrary to the US Constitution, and would invade privacy of NH citizens.

At the press conference on Monday, April 10, in Concord, the Liberty Conspiracy was well represented by Number Two, who expressed many of the salient points of the issue.

Jim Harper, Director of Information Policy Studies at the Cato Institute, www.cato.org, made the effort to visit NH during the hearing in the NH Senate on HB 1582. He then appeared on "Against the Grain", on WTNK and WUVR, with Gardner Goldsmith.

Great thanks to Mr. Harper for his efforts.
