Children are not welcome at the Meredith Public Library?

BTW Bear Islander, last year you offered island maps to residents of the island. I plan to declare Bear Island as my residence for a few hours Saturday, while I visit the church. Can you send me a copy of the map?

I'm sorry that's just silly...

This tread has gone on too long, and of course, hijacked again to become a political soapbox.

Well, before the thread goes to the litter bin, I'd just like to inject that Moultonborough students were bussed to Wolfeboro for their education until 1984.

Association membership is limited to "Residential Property Owners". The church is not a residence and you do not own it. If you ever buy a residence on Bear Island send me a PM.

Obviously you are right on the island association, it's a private club and I can't prove that I'm a member. Would you take my word for it?

On the voting, the 14th amendment clearly states that only citizens of the United States must be guaranteed the right to vote in federal elections. It's not really crazy to ask them to demonstrate citizenship before they vote is it? Are you suggesting we just take their word for it?

Sorry Chaselady, can't resist.

I would not have a problem with asking voters for id if the was a demonstrable need for it. However there has been NO voter fraud in numbers of any significants. Perhaps you would like to show evidence to the contrary? I would love to see that.

While illegal voter fraud is extremely rare, illegal "voter suppression" is not . It happens all to often. A few years ago in NH one party hired an outside company to jam the other parties telephone lines on election day with computer calls. Thus preventing that campaign from organizing rides to the polls for voters. But I predict you will not be able to do that. Voter suppression laws exist to prevent poor and minorities from voting. They do not pass the laugh test.

That is the kind of illegal and unconstitutional activity that should be stopped.

And if you can prove voter fraud is happening in numbers of any significants then I am ok with requiring an id to vote. However voter id laws do not pass the laugh test.

Obviously we will not agree on this, so I'll end with this link. I'm sure you will say that the link is somehow not credible or funded by "bad" people. Let's just say you don't believe it and I do.

I DO believe the information on voter fraud in your link. It claims that nationwide there have been 99 cases of voter fraud. Are you kidding me!! 99 cases is statistically insignificant. It comes to 2 cases per million voters, in other words ZERO. Thanks for the link that proves my point so graphically.

Check out this link.

It shows Pennsylvania House Republican Leader Mike Turzai claiming that the voter id bill he just pushed through will win PA for Romney. Tell me again about voter id legislation having nothing to do with partisan politics.

Now back to the gal trying to get a library card.

Not only should she go down to town hall and register to vote - the whole family should.

If any live in NH 180 days plus one they can become NH residents. Day 1 of the 180 days plus one can start today. Done deal.

Vote in your town of primary residence. Get a library card in each town where you pay (NH property) taxes.
