"Ours was the first revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of government, and with three little words: 'We the people.' 'We the people' tell the government what to do, it doesn't tell us. 'We the people' are the driver, the government is the car. And we decide where it should go, and by what route, and how fast. Almost all the world's constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which 'We the people' tell the government what it is allowed to do. 'We the people' are free."

Ronald Reagan

April 1, 2009: Grassroots Conservatism

Enough is enough!

That is what many Americans are saying across our great nation in reaction to what they feel are oppressive and counter-constitutional policies. Bailouts, radical social shifts away from traditional values, and laisse-faire spending that will bankrupt both state and national coffers…..but all is not lost. These radical attempts at governing have had a pleasant reaction­‑the sleeping tiger of conservatism has been awaken.

We need only look in our own backyard to find leaders of a new conservative revolution. Granite Grok, Cornerstone Policy, The Republican Project, to name just a few, are leading the charge. Closer to home, let us not forget local businessman Jack Kimball (recent Fox and Friends guest) of Granite State Patriots, and members of Portsmouth Republicans.

Join host Jeff Chidester and co-host Darryl Mundo as they discuss the tea parties, the NH Advantage, stimulus and omnimus spending with Jack Kimball of Granite State Patriots and members of Portsmouth Republicans.

We will also recognize our Conservative of the Week and let you know about upcoming conservative events.

You can hear Right Here, Right Now on Wednesdays at 6:00pm on WSCA-Portsmouth Community Radio, 106.1 FM on your radio dial and streaming worldwide. The show is also available for download within 24 hours after broadcast.

This is the video "Mr. Jefferson (set to the tune of Mrs. Robinson)" that played at the bottom of the hour of the April 1, 2009 show.

March 18, 2009: A Discussion With New Hampshire Right To Life

This week on Right Here, Right Now, representatives from New Hampshire Right To Life (NHRTL) will join us as we talk about why New Hampshire Right To Life exist and discuss their overall mission.

What is NH Right to Life and what role does it play? Is abortion really a single issue and should prolife people vote for pro-choice candidates? Is legal abortion really safe? For legal protection to the unborn to happen, the culture has to change. Are there things that pro-life people can do in the meanwhile to help usher in a culture of life? These are just some of the questions we will be exploring.

Join host Jeff Chidester and his guest Kurt Wuelper and Mary Menendez on March 18, 2009.

Also, we will recognize our Conservative of the Week, and listen to another “We the People” presentation.

March 11, 2009: Education in New Hampshire

There has been a lot of talk about the state of our financial markets and the potential overhauling our healthcare system, but what about the state of our education system? Are the educational needs of our children getting lost to other priorities?

How does the No Child Left Behind act work, and what is good about the act and bad about the act? Are the NH standards comparable to other state standards? How do they differ? What have other states done to improve their standards? What about National Standards?

What is Constructivism, and why is it in our classrooms? What should you know about NECAP testing? Where does Federal control in the classroom end, and Local control begin, and has the line been blurred?

Join host Jeff Chidester and educational advocates Ann-Marie Banfield and Jane Aitken, of Cornerstone Policy Research, as we discuss education in New Hampshire.

Also, we will recognize our Conservative of the Week, and introduce the new co-host/producer for Right Here, Right Now, Darryl Mundo.
