FOLLOW THE RULES!
Speaker Terie Norelli violated House Rules when she selected Representatives Richardson, Thompson and Weber to be on the HB 73 Committee of Conference. A majority of the committee members (Representative DiFruscia was also named) should be from the prevailing side, but all three were in the minority when the House voted on the bill.
 
Welcome to the Web Site of the
New Hampshire House Republican Alliance
Statement of Purpose:
Our goal is simple. We want all bills passing the
Legislature to be consistent with the New Hampshire and US Constitutions, to
embody the traditional Republican values specified in the NH
State
Party Platform, and to be fiscally responsible to the people of our great
state. We seek to provide a solid and focused organization that
effectively instills these principles into the state legislative process for the
betterment of the lives of all New Hampshire citizens.
Guiding principles:
Partisanship: We're all for it. The
democratic process upon which this country was founded is impossible without
choices, freedom of expression and open debate. Squelching debate by promoting
non-partisanship or bipartisanship on otherwise contentious issues flies in the
face of American democracy. Insisting only one view be allowed a public voice is
totalitarianism. Promote Republican ideals.
Government competition: It is not the
function of government to duplicate or replace the private sector. Government
should encourage competition, not be the competition. Shrink
government, taxes, and spending.
Education: Return academics and
accountability to public education. As in many other areas we should encourage
and praise the fine performance of private schools from kindergarten on up.
Government should not seek to replace them. Publicly
funded schools should be held accountable for their results.
Common sense social policy: We seek to
neither dictate nor diminish traditional moral values. We
promote personal responsibility, strong families unharrassed by government, and
the reaffirmation of basic right and wrong.
Constitutionality: If a bill or any proposal
is inconsistent with the Constitution, it is out of consideration. We are not in
favor of passing feel-good legislation and leaving it to the courts to determine
the legality. Responsibility in law.
This Web Site is paid for and maintained by the generous
contributions of people who believe in the
NH House Republican Alliance's purpose and guiding principles.
