Looks like the bleeding hearted, nanny types slammed this legislation through when they knew so many people would be missing the vote, they'd have a better chance to win. More than 100 legislators didn't even vote on Holy Thursday/Passover. Guess these snakes were hoping to pull a fast one while the rest of the House was on holiday

.

Voluntary use of seat belts, as long as it's more than 60% of the registered driving population, still qualifies the state for Federal highway dollars, or else you'd have seen mandatory belts a long time ago. Our friendly out of staters with mandatory belts help keep our number just above the federal cut off (as measured by traffic at the toll booths - thanks MA, VT, ME drivers).

Write to your senators (or the senators in the districts you would vote in if you could) and let ask them not to martyr yet another of the tenets of this "Live Free or Die" state.

I've written and called both the Senator where I legally reside and the Senator that serves Laconia...never thought I'd say this, but I wish Bob Boyce was still in office, we could guarantee he'd vote this down....I dread seeing NH become another Taxachusetts.
