With the increase in grocery prices since the beginning of 2025 such as meats, poultry, fish, eggs, cereal, bakery products, dairy, beverages, various fruits and vegetables and the recent government shutdown for over a month that affected people who receive SNAP benefits, some households may still find themselves needing a little extra food assistance this holiday season.

Veterans Day and Thanksgiving are always in the forefront during the month of November and rightly so! But, we also remember and honor the achievements, contributions and culture of Native Americans. November became Native American Heritage History Month in August, 1990 during the presidency of George H.W. Bush. 

Here in New Hampshire, many towns were built on village sites once inhabited by differing Native tribes; Concord, Dover, Franklin, Hampton, Hooksett, Laconia, Nashua, Manchester, Penacook Somersworth and Suncook as examples. While there are no recognized tribes in the state today, original tribes in NH included the Pennacook and Abenaki tribe. 

The Pennacook tribe survived by farming, hunting, fishing and were also know as “gatherers.” They lived in wigwams made from bark by the Merrimack River. The man’s role was to protect his family and would go to war if necessary to defend his family and their tribe.

Pennacook women were often out farming too, in addition to cooking and caring for the children. Pennacooks didn’t wear long headdresses, instead they wore feathered headbands. Warrior men often had mohawks which showed off their tribal status. 

The Abenaki Tribe is native to the Monadnock region and historically was two different groups. The Eastern Abenaki lived in Maine, and the Western group lived in NH. Most of their settlements were by river valleys, built near waterfalls and major rivers, travelling across the water in their self-made birchbark canoes. They too, were farmers, fishermen and hunters, with each man in the tribe inheriting hunting territories from his father. Like the Pennacook, the Abenaki lived in bark wigwams, lining them in the winter with animal skins, such as bear and deer, for extra warmth.  

During the early 1500s, European immigrants came to NH, some documenting the tribes way of life. By the 1600’s the state’s Native American population was beginning to decline, as more and more European immigrants descended upon the New World. 

Sadly, the Pennacook and Abenaki tribes, including their subgroups, began to see their populations decrease as they had no natural immunity against diseases brought into their settlements. Additionally, European immigrants were eventually beginning to claim the ancestral lands of the Abenaki, increasing tensions between them.

Many of these tribal descendants still live still live in Canada, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. Today, it’s believed that roughly 3,200 Abenaki live in Vermont and NH.

Here are some places where you can learn more about NH’s Native American Heritage:
~Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner.
~The Abenaki Heritage Initiative at Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth.
~Indigenous Dover, NH. Map of historical markers and war memorials.

It’s up to us to continue to support and preserve Native American heritage.

New Hampshire holds the dubious “honor” of being the most difficult state to cast a ballot in. Even registering to vote now requires proof of citizenship and if you are a married woman you need your birth certificate and marriage certificate to register. Absentee voting requirements got stricter with the recent passage of SB 287. That will affect mostly disabled voters and those who are home bound.

Last Tuesday, Nov. 4th, about 100+ NH voters were unable to vote due to their lack of documentary proof of citizenship or other ID now required by HB 1569. MacKenzie Taylor, the Director of New Hampshire Campaign for Voting Rights (NHCVR) acknowledged that NH’s elections were already safe, secure and trusted before this unnecessary bill was allowed to become law. 

Fun fact #1: During the Nov. 2024 election, 832,549 NH voters cast a ballot. Twenty-seven used a (now repealed) affidavit ballot, with 3 voters mailing their required documents within the time frame to their city/town clerk. Out of 832,549 voters only 24 ballots were discarded. The system was not only working, it wasn’t even broken. 

Fun fact #2: Of the 832,549 voters, 99,524 of them used absentee ballots. After SB 287 passed, NHCVR began a campaign to urge Gov. Ayotte to veto the bill, which she did not. Click here to read some of the letters from NH voters to the governor. 

The majority party is not done with their cruel plans of voter suppression. This is what is in the works for the 2026 Session:
LSR 2026-2283authorizing the secretary of state to conduct random audits of the citizenship qualification of registered voters. Sponsor: Bob Lynn (saw to it HB 1569 passed)

LSR 2026-2650clarifying the definition of citizen of NH. Sponsor: Donald McFarlane (wouldn’t a dictionary help?)

LSR 2026-3230defining citizenship for the purposes of voting. Sponsor: Robert Wherry (another dictionary here, please)

HB 317preventing a supervisor of the checklist from verifying a person's identity without identification, even if they personally know that person.

HB 323requiring the presentation of a government-issued photographic means of identification in order to vote.

Here’s where you come in. Let your representatives know you do not want any more voter suppression legislation to be passed in NH. Click here to do so. Thank you for defending our democracy.

During the previous House Session, HB 360 was introduced by Free Stater/Liberty Alliance member Rep. Kristin Noble. It was co-sponsored by six fellow group members. It ended up being retained in the Education Policy and Administration Committee but has now resurfaced in an amended form. The original bill would “bar school nurses and doctors from performing surgeries, diagnostic procedures or prescribe pharmaceutical drugs in schools.” As amended the words “diagnostic procedures” have been removed.

Noble has claimed this is a preventative bill, as this happens in school-based clinics all over the country! Finding that hard to believe, the search was on to find what schools allow this. 

Spoiler alert: I couldn’t find any . . .

Let’s be clear, school nurses and physicians DO NOT perform surgeries or prescribe pharmaceutical drugs in schools. Nurses are responsible for health support and dispensing medication. Physicians provide medical care OUTSIDE the schools in a clinical setting. 

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, some kids have acute and chronic health conditions which require medication to be given during the school day. Therefore, school medication administration protocols were developed to help prevent medication errors. More than 25% of students manage chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and epilepsy, requiring the presence of a school nurse. ensures these children can thrive in a safe and supportive environment. School nurses play an important role in supporting the health, safety and wellness of students nationwide.

Some examples of school nurse responsibility:

  • Assessing the severity of illness or injury in students.
  • Giving medications to students provided and approved by parents and healthcare providers.
  • Caring for students with chronic conditions such as diabetes, epilepsy/seizures, asthma, allergies/anaphylaxis, and others.
  • Making sure all students are up to date on vaccinations/immunizations.
  • Directing the provision of health services within the school.
  • Screening for vision, hearing and other potential health issues.
  • Preventing and controlling the spread of communicable diseases.
  • Connecting students and families to relevant health resources.
  • Providing mental health support to students in need.
  • Collecting health data in school for local, state, and national officials.
  • Promotion of overall school community health through education and wellness initiatives.

Nowhere in there is mention of being able to “perform surgeries” or “dispense drugs.” While Rep. Noble acknowledges this is “preventative” legislation, it’s really a “solution” in search of a non-existent problem.

By the way, here’s another one Rep. Noble would like to see happen, repealing the reading recovery training program. This training is for educators in order to better help their students learn. You can find more here on the Literacy Council of North America. 

“Behind every successful student, there’s a school nurse who helped them during tough times.”

The Republican-led federal government shutdown is now into its 33rd day, the second longest in American history. Public assistance programs such as Women, Infants & Children (WIC), Head Start, Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program LIHEAP and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are all feeling the brunt of this, especially those who can least afford to.

Focusing on the SNAP program, there are more than 72,000 New Hampshire men, women and children who receive food assistance,  but saw their benefits come to a screeching halt the other day. (It should be noted, on that same day the current “president” held a Great Gatsby Halloween Gala at Mar-A-Lago in Florida.)

But, I digress . . .

Twenty-two states, three governors and the District of Columbia filled a lawsuit against the Trump regime over its decision to stop federal food assistance during the Republican-led shutdown. New Hampshire is shamefully nowhere to be found in that filing. The same state who, while voting on the budget this past April, the majority party voted on an amendment to not expand free and reduced price school lunch funding by aligning Medicaid enrollment with eligibility for school meals, beginning in the 2027-28 school year. They absolutely REFUSE to feed low-income children! 

So, it is up to the people of NH stepping up in many ways to provide emergency food. There are mobile food pantries throughout the state during the months of Nov. and Dec. Your local food pantry  doesn’t require SNAP participation to receive food assistance.

At noon on Saturday, November 1 in Central Square, the Keene Rally Coalition will be hosting a rally to call for the restoration of SNAP benefits. Please join us, bring signs and costumes, and bring your people.

Read more about the suspension of SNAP benefits here.

As part of this event, we be collecting food and financial donations for Keene Mutual Aid. Since the pandemic in 2020, Keene Mutual Aid has been distributing food and hygiene supplies to unhoused and low-income people through the Free Store they operate on Saturdays in Railroad Square. 

The Free Store is already facing a steep increase in demand due to deteriorating economic conditions, and, with SNAP benefits expiring on Saturday, is sure to see even greater need. If you are able to contribute financially to their efforts, here is the donation page.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), still known as the Food Stamp Program, is a federal government program providing assistance for those of low to no incomes to purchase groceries. The program helps them maintain adequate nutrition and health. It is a federal aid program through the US Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) with benefits distributed by certain departments of US states, for example, the Division of Social Services and the Dept. of Health & Human Services, etc.

Begun in 1939, the program allowed people on relief to buy orange stamps equal to their regular expense for food. For every $1 worth of orange stamps bought, 50 cents worth of blue stamps were received. Orange stamps could be used to buy any food. Blue stamps were only for food determined by the Dept. to be surplus.

Pres. Lyndon Johnson asked Congress to pass legislation making the program permanent, leading to the Food Stamp Act of 1964. For 86 years, since 1939, America has helped to feed its most vulnerable citizens. 

Now, that program is being held hostage by a majority political party who will not pass overall funding. Senate Democrats have demanded the Republicans first reverse their cuts to the Affordable Care Act (ACA, also known as Obamacare) and Medicaid. Republicans have argued that health care can be debated after the shutdown is over. I think we all know the majority party is not known for their honesty, integrity or ethics.

This has resulted in over 700,000 federal employees suspended from their jobs, with nearly the same number of workers now working without pay. Employees crucial to public safety, such as air traffic controllers, border patrol, law enforcement and military personnel, are required to work anyway. 

The SNAP program is one such program that will negatively affect about 42 million people, men, women, children, disabled and veterans, should it be halted on Sat. Nov. 1st. The National WIC Association (Women, Infants & Children), a nonprofit organization that advocates for The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for recipients, recently stated millions of families could lose their benefits come Nov. 1 without additional funding for the program. This program helps pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding moms. 

According to NH Hunger Solutions:

  • SNAP benefits are guaranteed. When the government finally reopens, Nov. benefits will be issued retroactively.
  • The SNAP program will continue. Applications will be processed and benefits issued retroactively to the application once the shutdown finally ends. Continue to apply.
  • Once the shutdown ends, SNAP EBT cards will work for both current and new funds to purchase food.

By Terri O'Rorke, 22 October 2025

Hard labor refers to physically demanding work often imposed as 
punishment, mostly in penal systems and military settings.

In the New Hampshire Constitution, under the Bill of Rights is Article 33: No Magistrate, or Court of Law, shall demand excessive bail or sureties, impose excessive fines, or inflict cruel or unusual punishments. June 2, 1784

In the United States Constitution, under the Bill of Rights, the Eighth Amendment reads: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. December 19, 1791

This past January, SB 15 was passed in the State Senate and then went to the House of Representatives. Put forth by six Republican Senators and five Republican Reps., the proposed legislation was to “establish a mandatory minimum sentence for the crime of distribution of a controlled drug with death resulting.” After spending time in the House Criminal Justice and Safety Committee, the bill went nowhere but was retained in the committee. 

Until now.

On Oct. 15, eight Reps., seven of whom are either Free Staters and/or Liberty Alliance members, added a “non-germane” amendment to this bill. Non-germane is something irrelevant, or in this case, has nothing to do with the bill. The amendment is to change the original title of the bill to read: “AN ACT relative to incorporating hard labor as a sentencing option for certain offenses; establishing medical exemptions and penalties for abuse thereof; providing alternative punitive measures for legitimate medical exemptions; and establishing a sentencing appeals panel for prosecution appeals related to hard labor sentences.” (emphasis added)

Yeah, you read that right! They want to bring back hard labor.
Fun fact: NH has the second lowest violent crime rate in the region and second lowest violent crime rate in the country.

“(a) As used in this paragraph, “hard labor” means the mandatory performance of physically intensive manual labor tasks assigned by the commissioner of corrections, designed to serve as punishment, deterrence, and, where appropriate, rehabilitation for convicted offenders.”

“Refusal to participate without valid exemption may result in disciplinary measures, including loss of good time credits under RSA 651-A:22 or extended confinement.”

The entire amendment can be read here.

Who are the seven proponents of hard labor as punishment?
Terry Roy – Deerfield
Jennifer Rhodes – Winchester
Bob Lynn – Windham (voter suppression bills)
Ricky Devoid – Boscawen
Dennis Mannion – Salem
Kathleen Paquette – Manchester
Matt Sabourin dit Choinière – Seabrook

You can contact any one of these representatives by clicking here, scrolling down to “who’s my legislator” and clicking on the name. 

So, other than free (forced?) labor for the state, why is the majority party looking to continue in its backward march?

Yesterday’s nationwide protests drew millions of peaceful activists dressed as frogs, dinosaurs, clowns and even one gigantic inflatable penis. Plenty of signs abound and general camaraderie among American citizens who see our rights threatened and have decided not to stay silent! 

WMUR covered the many events happening here in New Hampshire but was a little conservative on the number of attendees throughout the state. No matter . . .

What got my attention was what the House majority leader was quoted as saying, “Perhaps instead of protesting kings or purple unicorns, they might think about protesting something that is actually a problem here in America such as criminal migrants or leftist assassins." I guess when you have nothing left to bloviate about the usual “bogeymen” are a safe go-to topic. It’s a shame he didn’t use any examples to prove his unfounded point.

While I didn’t see any purple unicorns, I’ll bet there was one somewhere in America brandishing a “America has no king” sign.

In the meantime . . .

Not everyone gets the Union Leader newspaper, but this past weekend a full-page ad had a very important message:

Full page adverstisement in the Union Leader. The big text reads "New Hampshire works when we work tegether/We condemn all political violence and the lies that incite it/Leaders Speak Truth/Leaders Listen/Reject extremism in our state of New Hampshire

 

Leftist assassins or violence?

Nope! Just Democrats working together to make a better New Hampshire! It’s a big tent. Feel free to come in.

Rep. Joe Alexander, R-Goffstown has filed his Legislative Service Requests (LSR’s) for the 2026 House Session. Coming under the heading of “the cruelty is the point” he would like to add more grounds for eviction under the landlord and tenant statute. He also wants to “prohibit the rental of residential property to individuals unlawfully present in the United States.” I’m sure he means New Hampshire where about 0.7% of the population is undocumented. Doesn’t sound like the state is exactly overrun and where does he think he has the right to tell property owners what to do with their own property or who to rent to? What happened to “personal choice?”

Sounds like a dictionary might take care of his other proposed legislation, “relative to the definition of intimate partner.” Why can’t the majority party stay out of people’s bedrooms? And finally, “enabling certain disabled persons to hunt from a motor vehicle.” What could possibly go wrong?

The NH Controlled Drug Act (RSA 318-B) regulates the use, distribution and prescription of controlled substances, to prevent misuse and ensure public safety. It defines many terms related to drug use and abuse, scheduling of drugs and defines legal responsibilities of healthcare providers and law enforcement in regards to controlled substances. Rochester Rep. Aidan Ankarberg would like to see this repealed. He’s also seeking “parent-taught driver education as an alternative to traditional driver education programs.” What could possibly go wrong?

Why is Milton’s Rep. Glenn Bailey sticking his nose in California’s business by bringing this forth, “affirming the state of California's request to divide into 2 states.”?

Rep. Ross Berry, Weare, apparently thinks beating a dead horse is fun with his voting eligibility legislative request. “Providing that only legal resident US citizens who are at least 18 years of age or older who reside in the place they claim as domicile shall be eligible voters.” 

NH’s refugee resettlement program is run by the state Dept. of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and funded by the federal government. DHHS also works in partnership with nonprofit organizations such as the International Institute of New England. Concord, Manchester and Nashua have all participated in this program. Another Weare Rep., Travis Corcoran would like to see this program repealed and prohibit spending state funds on refugee resettlement. What could possibly go wrong. . . for those fellow human beings seeking asylum?

Hoo-boy! More parental rights proposed legislation that most of us parents thought we already had! This piece of vagueness is brought to you by Milton Mill’s Rep. Michael Granger, “providing that parents and guardians have a right to direct the education of their children.” And what is a “permanent vehicle registration”? Sounds like more chipping away at revenue, which means property owners are left holding the bag again. 

What could possibly go wrong by continuing to vote in the Free Stater extremists
