Talking points:
1) Disenfrachising voters
2) Loss of relevance of NH Primary in future election cycles due to corrupt actions to limit party switching denying people their historical "Live free or die" rights (the people of the state care about the primary deeply and will not stand for that)

Can someone link to the NH newspaper contacts (I need to go to work)? They all need to be cc'ed on these.

We must reverse this. If we reverse this, no other Secretary of State will try to pull this because they know what will happen.

Read the posts there first, before getting all too worked up.
Turns out that they have always rejected democrats. Nothing new in that.

Honestly I think we'll hurt our cause if we are too aggressive about this. As I understand it independents will still be able to vote in the Republican primary. Only registered Democrats cannot. Whats so bad about that? It is a Republican primary, after all. The short deadline to switch sucks, for sure. But as I understand it, NH is positioning itself to move its primary up to December if it has to, to stay ahead of any other states that may try to get first in line.

Lets focus on getting the word out to NH Dems to change their affiliation asap.

As I understand it, New Hampshire GOP has always required that Dems change party affiliation 90 days before the GOP primary election to vote in it. So the early deadline is because NH GOP is moving its primary election to an earlier date, not because of a change in the rules.

Do we have any of that in writing I've heard opposite from some people.
What was it in 2004? And isn't it the states's decision, not the GOP?

The search on the board has been broken lately.

They have never moved that date so far forward before. It's bullshit.

To not take action on this is a grave mistake.

This is a revolution people, they can now see the whites of our eyes - it's time to advance the attack.

If you retreat form this battle, you are setting the stage to lose the war.
