TAKE ACTION ON THE BUDGET NOW

Freedom Caucus is hanging strong. Don't forget to call the majority office at 603-271-2111 and email Sen. Morse at chuck.morse@leg.state.nh.us and Sen. Bradley at jeb.bradley@leg.state.nh.us. Let them know that the People will not accept anything less than the legislature having control over extending any future state of emergency.

From the NH Journal yesterday:

“If we’re going to back this budget, it has to be one that doesn’t allow unbridled executive power to just continue, without the consent of the legislature,” Prout said. “It can’t be ‘the governor can do what he wants until both chambers say no.’ It has to be ‘the emergency order is only extended if both bodies say yes.'”

Let this sink in...

Chris Sununu thinks that STOPPING State of Emergency reform is more important than...

... Tax cuts
... School choice
... 24-week abortion ban
... Spending cuts
... Deregulation

... *COMBINED* and is willing to risk all of these priorities in the budget to hold on to unchecked emergency power.
The Committee of Conference is late in starting (currently set for 1:45 p.m., which could be good news), but if anyone would care to watch, here is the live link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX3jz2zD2bQ

This is live now: 2:20 p.m.
I think we just won. I want to see the language before I can confirm that. It's amendment 2041h if anyone can get their hands on it.
Update on today's Committee of Conference. We did get some changes to the emergency powers law, but they are only nominally better than yesterday. Here are the details:

Amendment 2042s, which is what was adopted, requires the governor to call the Legislature together every 90 days for a vote on whether to end a state of emergency. It would require a majority vote of both the Senate and House to make that happen. Under current law, the House and Senate can do the same thing by adopting a concurrent resolution, which would require a supermajority vote, so it is better, but only nominally better.

2041h, which had passed, but then was backtracked, would have required the governor to call the Legislature together every 90 days for a vote on whether to continue the state of emergency. This version would have allowed either the House or the Senate to end a State of Emergency by simply not supporting an extension. That is what we wanted. It passed, but then was overriden by the Senate amendment.

Unfortunately, it got bungled up at the last minute by a hallway discussion that we couldn't hear. We're not sure at this point whether we want to support this effort or not. There are no opportunties for additional changes at this point.

Your input is appreciated.
Just wanted to run this by you. Here's what our governor thinks of us: https://constitutional.republican/2021/06/18/sununu-on-libertarians/
The PCR testing regime was a lie used to prop up the inhumane authoritarian measures from the beginning. See below ⬇️

NEW - Positive PCR test results do not sufficiently prove that people infected with #SARSCoV2 can infect others with the coronavirus and are unsuitable on their own as a basis for pandemic measures, new research that included 190k results from 160k people at the UDE Faculty of Medicine in Germany concludes.

"More than half of individuals with positive PCR test results are unlikely to have been infectious."

We have a lot of reservations about the budget still and thought you should have a look to make your own judgment call: http://gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/billtext.aspx?sy=2021&txtFormat=amend&id=2021-2040C

We are working on a deal that will secure the advances we made in the budget and also get our emergency reforms passed. The governor has released a statement today agreeing to the language the Freedom Caucus proposed: https://nhjournal.com/new-deal-between-sununu-legislature-on-exec-power-could-push-budget-over-top/
ReopenNH Position on Budget Compromise: Publicly Announced Agreement Acceptable Regarding Emergency Powers Reforms

A last-minute deal negotiated by N.H. House Majority Leader Jason Osborne between RebuildNH-supported representatives and the governor delivered commitments to fix the unconstitutional state of emergency statutes this fall leading into the beginning of the next session in January. ReopenNH believes this deal is an acceptable solution to remedy the constitutional crisis we've lived in for the past 15 months. Details about the deal have been published in NH Journal, a Media publication of record for the state, and the governor has signed a letter indicating his support for the deal. We appreciate the hard work that House Majority Leader Jason Osborne and others have put toward negotiating this deal as part of the budget agreement. We could not have accomplished this deal without your help, and we thank YOU for your work advancing this agreement as well.

It's appropriate to acknowledge the accomplishments of 2021 and celebrate moving the needle back toward liberty. We are looking forward to the Legislature executing on the necessary constitutional reforms promised by Gov. Sununu that further strengthen our achievements. These achievements will not end our advance toward liberty, since we still need to ensure that no governor and no legislature can ever violate the constitution under any circumstances ever again. The people must remain ever vigilant. Let's celebrate our victories and then get back to work. #rebuildNH
