The reason I’m rarely blogging here is because I have spent most of my time over the past 6 months blogging at NH Insider.

At about 11:00AM this morning the New Hampshire House voted along party lines (Final vote 216 to 150) to kill Don Itse’s amendment, HCR6 that essentially reminds the Federal government that their powers are few and limited, and that the peoples are many, clarifying New Hampshire’s sovereignty based on the 10th amendment of the US Constitution.
A packed gallery booed the final vote, some observers promising to make those who voted in favor of the ITL committee ruling pay for their failure to stand up for New Hampshire’s Live Free or Die motto. The cat calling was so prolonged that the State police assigned to monitor the gallery had to remind people to quiet down or leave the gallery.
The Republicans did request and receive a roll call vote, wanting very much to have this vote on the record.
For those of you interested in seeing which way your reps went, you can go to the state web page and check it out once its posted. Remember that voting yes to an ITL means you want to kill the bill. So a yes vote on HCR6 was a vote against the amendment.
