Thousands of voters may not vote this fall due to COVID-19.   Our job is to make sure they know that they can vote by absentee ballot, recenly allowed by New Hampshire's Secretary of State and Attorney General by citing "concern with COVID-19" as a "disability" on the absentee application.

Granny D Week Actions & Events Jan. 21 - 28

Twenty years ago, a 90-year-old New Hampshire woman walked into Washington, DC after an epic 14-month, 3,200 mile walk from California to sound the alarm on corruption in our Democracy.   

This coming week, you can honor Granny D's love for our country by taking action yourself and attending one or more events around the state.  Remember that Granny D said, "Democracy isn't something we have; it's something we DO!"

 Democracy Milestones this Week: Citizens United Anniversary, a Funeral for Democracy, and a Celebration of a NH Campaign Finance Reformer Named Granny D

CONCORD--With money in the 2020 Presidential and New Hampshire's gubernatorial races expected to reach all time highs, a New Hampshire campaign finance group is commemorating two American democracy milestones next week, one good, the 110th birthday of Doris "Granny D" Haddock, and one not so good, the tenth anniversary of the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision.
