Real ID, HB 1582

[Tom Sawyer]

I see Gallus, what gives, he voted for 1582 and aganinst the amendment... ?

He is, arguable, the MOST libertarian senator of all... Supported legalizing drugs, 1582, casino gambling... opposed raising the dropout age, smoking ban...

If this is not correct I'll galdly update the graphic.

You political followers keep better track of such things than I do.

Another action item for continuing the Real ID fight:

For those of you feeling adrift as I am on this...

Here is one thing each you can do to continue the fight against Real ID over the next few weeks and months:

contact and thank some of the Senators who tried to save HB1582:

Republicans Gallus, Bragdon and Democrats Estabrook,
Hassan, Fuller Clark

Their contact info is at

So far I have written this e-mail, to gallus:

Dear Senator Gallus:

Thanks for your ballsy stand in favor of HB1582, the "Real ID Rejection Bill."   The Democrats I will maybe get around to thanking later, but you deserve first thanks because you defied the national GOP hacks from your own party.  God bless you for that and for your 100% libertarian rating from the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance.  You rock!

Are you in any danger of losing your re-election bid and if so what are the most effective ways *real* Republicans in NH can help you stay in office?

Another possibility is to approach boards of aldermen and city councils to pass resolutions urging the legislature to opt out of Real ID.  Come March, have these resolutions placed on town warrants across the state.  It'll help keep it in the news and raise public awareness.

So am I wrong to have Gallus in the 14 face line up?

And/or is the 14 faces something I should remove from the flyer idea?

My understanding was that gallus voted against the amendment... anyone want to set the record straight for us?

Gallus voted against the amendment and against the amended (gutted) bill. Then last week, he and the other Republicans killed the whole legislative effort by voting against forming House-Senate Committees of Conference for HB 1582 and SB 399. At least the committees would have left a window open for keeping the state out of REAL ID through legislation.

Brilliant!!!

So maybe I should just remove the 14 faces...

Any thoughts? Denis?

Still looking for text to go with the image.

In many ways perhaps a better solluttion. Even more decentralized, and we won't be stuck praising the State government for our protection. Praising local governments while marginalizing the state and federal is better.

Dave, that's absolutely brilliant. Combines appeals to his principles, idealism, and party preference all in one brilliant message!

I don't think it's that effective, plus there is a mixed message with Gallus, and possibly others who have been strongly on our side on other votes.

Given Gallus's votes on other liberty issues, I'm willing to cut him slack and assume he had something bigger in mind when he voted to reject a conference on Real ID.
