Registering to vote

[Quantrill]

Is it true that I need an NH Driver's license in order to register? 

What are the steps necessary for me to register?

Thanks in advance.

THanks for the links.  One of my (many) roommates said they all but demand an NH DL.  If I show up with my MO license and something with my new address, will this suffice?

I never showed ID when I registered.

I think something with the new address is fine... of course you live in 'the big city'  so the rules might be different there.

I wouldn't recommend joining the matrix.

Yeah, but I didn't move 1400+ miles just so I could opt-out of the system.  I could have done that at home.  If we're going to effect real change we must do it (at least partly) at the voting booth.  I'm assuming they have more than just candidates on the ballots here.  Every single time I voted in MO there was at least 1 tax increase on the ballot and many times there were multiple tax increases.  We have a say in how much we are taxed and what is done with that money.  That is why I am here.   All the Alderman/board of whoever/school board/ ad infinitum sessions  are or should be open to the public and getting these people out of our lives as much as possible is the goal.  At least it's my goal...


NOTE:  I hope my father was wrong.  He said "I was young and idealistic once.  Now I'm cynical and apathetic.  You'll be there too."

I used to be super cynical... now I am hopeful. (because of members of the FSP)

I am sorry to hear that.
So .... should I have to obey what the "majority" votes for?

Do what you feel is right.  Hopefully you'll be aware of the consequences of your actions when doing so.  I break laws all the time, knowing what could happen.  I yearn for a time when I won't need permission to do things.  It's the government who will need permission to do things.  Ignoring them won't make them go away.  Reducing the amount of money at their disposal and ridding them of Socialists is a pretty damn good start if you ask me...

Registering to vote in Manchester is easy. Just bring something that was mailed to you to your new address, like the postal change of address form, a letter, anything. I brought an envelope that my family had mailed stuff to me in and it worked. The people up there are pretty nice and all that, so they shouldn't give you much trouble. You'll want to go to the Town Hall on Elm Street to register.

My dad is like that too...only I'm pretty sure he skipped the idealistic stage and has just gotten more cynical.

You do that by voting?
I just don't pay them the money they want.

Dude,

In the immortal words of someone, "Don't vote. It only encourages them."

I wish I could do that.  I actually 'forgot' to pay my state income tax this last time around (baby steps).  I suppose if NH passes the income tax I'd forget to file that as well.  But we're still being hit at the gas pump, meal tax, property tax, liquor owned by the state, not allowed to carry switchblades, .08 BAC limit, etc...   Until getting completely out of the system is feasible for my situation, I feel I can best effect change through the system our forefathers intended us to use.

Maybe this is a dead issue.  I understand some people refuse to vote/pay taxes on principle and all I can say is I'm not there yet.  Perhaps someday I will be...

It may be clich?, but it's true. A politician will win something by a razor-thin margin and then claim that he has a "mandate from the people" to do whatever raping and pillaging he has in mind, when almost none of the people actually want any such thing from him.

And so what if the other politician had won by a razor-thin margin? It's likely he would have done the same thing.

Voting may be useful when neither of those is the case, but this is something you'll have to let your conscience bother you about.

You can still show up at the polls, vote NO on the ever-present tax increase and write your own name in for every office if you feel there is no worthy candidate!
