In our January 13, 2022 Dessert with Friends at the Ashland American Legion, Mr. Eric Pauer, Vice President of the School District Governance Association (SDGA) will deliver an overview of how parents and other interested citizens can ensure elected school officials are performing their proper duties. He will also discuss School Board best practices and present the SDGA’s model for school district policies.

Eric will also review some current legislation that enhances local control in education and openness in administration.

Mr. Pauer represented Brookline NH on the Hollis-Brookline-Cooperative-School-Board from 2014 to 2017, including as secretary from 2015 to 2016. As a fiscal conservative, Eric spearheaded the successful citizen efforts to adopt official balloting system (SB2) for the Brookline School District (2016), to adopt a tax cap for the Brookline School District (2018), and to require tax impacts to be listed in future Brookline School District warrants (2021).
Eric has worked in engineering and systems architecture for a number of different companies for over 32 years in defense and medical electronics. He also served part-time for 30 years in the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve as a Civil Engineer, State Director of Logistics/Engineering, and Senior Emergency Manager, retiring as a Colonel in 2018. He has two adult children with his wife Diane, who is currently a NH State Representative for Brookline/Mason (R-Hillsborough District 26).

December 10, 2021 – Update from State Rep Jeff Greeson

December 10, 2021 – Update from State Rep Jeff Greeson

by | Dec 10, 2021 | Jeff Greeson, State Rep News

The New Hampshire House will be back in session January 5-7, 2022. During these days, we will handle bills that were retained in 2021 and bills that were vetoed by the Governor.  Committee work will begin shortly afterward to work on new legislation proposed. Over 800 bills have been submitted!
There are several good bills aimed at protecting liberty, election integrity, and quality of life. Here are a few of the bills I am sponsoring:
I co-wrote HB-1469 with Rep. JD Bernardy to protect individuals and businesses from being discriminated against by banks and financial institutions based on ESG scores. Many of the major banks in the U.S. are already refusing to make loans to businesses involved with oil and natural gas.
I co-wrote HB-1421 with Rep. Paul Terry to establish a Parents Bill of Rights. Ever since Hillary Clinton introduced the philosophy of “It takes a village”, parents have had their rights and authority over their own children eroded. Children are allowed to undergo medical treatments without parental knowledge, let alone permission. Children are subjected to some of the most perverse sexual education indoctrination at school without parental consent or knowledge. Children are exposed to political and philosophical dogmas of their teachers (such as CRT) without parental consent. The State needs to reaffirm the rights and authority of parents over their children.
I wrote HB-1181 to allow the father of a pre-born baby to file a petition for an injunction to prevent the baby from being aborted. Until now, fathers have not been allowed a voice on the subject. None of the Supreme Court precedents has declared that fathers have no rights; only that the rights of the mother are of greater weight. It is time we recognize the rights of fathers.
I am co-sponsor with Rep. Mark Alliegro on HB-1064 to require all elections in New Hampshire be done using paper ballots.
The Democrats have submitted several very dangerous bills. Many of their bills infringe on constitutional rights and personal liberties, expand government, and deteriorate election integrity.
LSR 22-2017 [no HB number yet] will require a background check on any commercial firearm sale; HB-1096 – will prohibit open carry or display of a deadly weapon within 100 feet of a polling place; HB-1151 will prohibit the display of deadly weapon at a parade, funeral procession, picket line, rally, demonstration, or vigil.
HB-1452 will give government oversight of private water wells.
CACR-22 will institute ranked choice voting.
Additionally, they want to eliminate single use plastic bags (HB-1471); repeal the fetal health protection act (LSR 22-2031); and cap the number of Reps in the State House to 150 and Senators to 35 (CACR-29).
It looks to be a very interesting year!

Dessert with Friends, December 9, 2021 – Hear from the Granite Grok

Dessert with Friends – December 9

Save the date! Presentation starts at 7.00 but come early to mingle and meet new friends.

Granite Grok: We take on all progressives/Liberals/Moderates/ Squishy Republicans and fly to the aid of rock-ribbed freedom-loving and liberty seeking/leaning folk anywhere!  If you don’t follow the Granite Grok (www.granitegrok.com) you are missing out. They describe themselves as “hard-charging, gun-toting, opinionated, outspoken, rabble-rousing, letter-writing, radio microphone stomping people”

Skip Murphy – Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom (and how Government is taking that away from us). My fight, from a Conservative (with small “L” libertarian leanings) and evangelical Christian perspective, is with the Progressives that are forcing a collectivized and secular humanistic future upon us. As an activist, citizen journalist (and pundit!), my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America’s Founders back into our culture again. I’ve been a three term Budget Committee member in my town and a political activist since the early 2000’s.

Steve MacDonald – Steve is a long-time New Hampshire resident, blogger, taxpayer advocate, and a member of the Board of directors of The 603 Alliance. He is the Editor at Large and a co-owner of GraniteGrok.com; a former board member of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire; and a past contributor to the Franklin Center for Public Policy.

The talk begins at 7.00 but come early to mingle with friends.

General Don Bolduc interviewed in The New Yorker

by | Oct 27, 2021 | Information on candidates, News

General Bolduc was recently featured in an interview in The New Yorker magazine.

Across the country, candidates who support Donald Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election are running for office, promising to replace fellow-Republicans who went along with certifying last year’s results. Republicans are favored to take back both houses of Congress in 2022 and tighten their grip on state houses, raising urgent questions about whether the Party, which largely proved unwilling to support Donald Trump’s push to overturn the election last year, might be more amenable to doing so in 2024.

One of those candidates is Don Bolduc, a retired Army general and the only Republican who has declared his candidacy for next year’s U.S. Senate race in New Hampshire against the Democratic incumbent, Maggie Hassan… Read more by clicking on one of these links.

Here is the link to the New Yorker website

And, here is a link to a pdf of the article.

NOTE: PARC does not endorse any candidate until the general election. We don’t take sides in primaries. But, we do want people to be informed on the candidates which is why we publish this.
