CONCORD, New Hampshire (PNN) - December 14, 2021 - On Tuesday, the legislation that would place state independence on the ballot for the voters was given a number and assigned to a committee. The legislation will henceforth be known as CACR 32, and its first stop will be in the State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee.

The legislation is unlikely to be supported by the leadership of either major political Party in Concord. Entrenched interests of establishment Republicans and Democrats have already displayed hostility to the legislation, but its sponsors and supporters are undeterred in letting the people have an opportunity to express their views on the matter. The most likely scenario is that Party leaders tell the representatives to vote “inexpedient to legislate” and to send that recommendation to the full House.

Even if the House passes the legislation, it could be sent to another Committee in the House, and that Committee and the full House would have another opportunity to stop the legislation. If nobody on the Committee objects to the ITL recommendation, the legislation will likely be placed on the “consent calendar,” meaning that the House would likely choose to concur with the Committee recommendation as part of a large and generally uncontroversial package of bills. The Committee could also decide to “retain” or “interim study” the legislation. This would prevent it from going to the House floor for a vote, essentially ending its chances of passing this term. The first battle for this historic legislation will be in this committee.

Proponents of the legislation, which was sponsored by nine Republican representatives, are encouraging residents who support placing independence on the general election ballot to call and email the members of the Committee.

The Committee is composed of 11 Republicans and 10 Democrats. Being that the bill was proposed by Republicans, the 10 Democrats are unlikely to support it. The committee is chaired by Al Baldasaro, a Republican from Londonderry. Mr. Baldasaro is a Marine and a very pro-liberty legislator. Like many patriotic Amerikans who are alarmed by the massive power grabs of the people’s rights emanating from Washington DC, Baldasaro is likely sympathetic to the legislation’s attempt to address the erosion - and corrosion - of our rights. However, his patriotism is also likely to make him tread gingerly around a constitutional amendment aimed at disuniting the union even through peaceful legislation.

This is why it is so important to call and email him and the other Committee members to explain to them that the Union will never be saved; we must leave before it’s too late for us, too. If you need help or resources in order to explain to Committee members why our local New Hampshire representatives are more capable of protecting our rights than the federal government, check out the many Liberty Block articles on independence and the many usurpations from Washington DC that make this legislation necessary, and direct them to read The Blueprint For Liberty, a short, simple book that explains the dire need for state independence.
