Here’s the scoop on someone of whom to beware, courtesy of Ashley Jardis, Brad’s wife:
Working With a Psychopath
For the last couple of months, I have endured the life experience of working with a psychopath. His name is Jeramie Samphere. My husband and I didn’t know he was a psychopath when we hired him (he was paid over $1200 total for his services) as campaign manager of the Sheriff’s race we were currently involved in. We just thought he was a little strange – not unlike the rest of us. We later found out that he was a former Jehovah’s Witness, so we figured he would be great at helping us with one of the most critical parts of campaigning – door knocking. He seemed to have some really good ideas, and sounded like he knew what he was talking about. He also put us in touch with some amazing people, whom I am forever grateful for their help and hard work.
About four weeks ago, while out door knocking with Jeramie, Brad noticed some aggressive and “pushy” behavior from him. He mentioned it to Jeramie and asked him to stop behaving that way. (more…)
There is a brand new political party that has been formed for the purpose of promoting NH’s secession from the feds and personal liberty – the New Hampshire Liberty Party! Please check out the party platform and sign up as a member online! You can also like the public facebook page at NH Liberty Party.
Membership is free and the party does not accept contributions.
Here’s the press release announcing the party from co-chair Darryl Perry:
Keene, NH – On September 1, 2012 the NH Liberty Party held an organizational meeting. During this meeting the bylaws of the party were adopted. Included in the adopted bylaws is a five plank platform that can never be modified.
The NH Liberty Party supports secession for New Hampshire and believe individuals have the same right to declare themselves independent from any government. (more…)
Today Congressman George Miller (D/CA) and Senator Tom Harkin (D/IA) introduced the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2012 in both the House and the Senate. The bill proposes three $0.85 raises to the minimum wage which is currently $7.25 to be $9.80 by the end of 2014. I find this to be outrageous.
Do these politicians never learn? The minimum wage is a job killer. Every time the minimum wage is raised, more jobs go away, never to be seen again.
“The Employment Policy Institute, a nonprofit research organization that studies public policy issues surrounding employment growth, released findings from a study that examined both Miller’s and Harkin’s proposed legislation, that concluded the proposals would eliminate as many as 768,000 jobs for less-skilled and less-experienced employees.”*
“The economic consensus on raising the minimum wage is clear, and these latest proposals are no exception,” Michael Saltsman, research fellow at EPI, said in a press release announcing the study findings. “Instead of reducing poverty rates, a higher minimum wage reduces employment for the least-skilled job seekers.”*
In a voluntary society, companies could produce more jobs while paying employees a “fair” wage based both on the companies needs and the experience of the employee. This would leave room for the companies to hire more employees, plus neither the company nor the employee would have to pay out much of their profit and income in taxes. The employee would benefit by being able to bring home all their pay and companies could hire more people with the increased profit margin.
All the minimum wage laws do is eliminate jobs and decrease profitability for companies, which in turn brings down goods and services provided by the employees and companies and increase the prices of goods and services.
After the conviction of FK blogger and CopBlock.org founder Ademo Freeman on three felony counts of “wiretapping”, Manchester liberty activist William Kostric approached prosecutor Michael Valentine and told him that he was going to go home and wiretap the police and send Valentine the evidence.
Kostric has followed through on his promise, and here’s the proof. The video below includes his original promise to Valentine and the actual call to the police where he in no way indicates to them that he is recording.
Will Valentine prosecute? Kostric has done the same thing as Ademo and has even rubbed Valentine’s nose in it. If Kostric is prosecuted, it will allow him to take on the same ridiculous charge with a different approach and new jury. If he’s not prosecuted, it will be further proof of the arbitrary nature of the “justice” system.
