URGENT *** PLEASE HELP REMOVE Arbitrary Speed Limits in New Hampshire
 

As you may have already been aware, last year the liberal legislature and some special interest groups were able to pass speed limits on Lake Winnipesaukee NH. 45 mph during the day and 30 mph at night. A group of boaters called Safe Boaters of New Hampshire “SBONH” joined together in protest of enacting this law and has been working diligently to have these arbitrary limits removed from the lake. This group has a current bill before the newly elected legislature in NH to remove these limits and institute the US Coast Guard guidelines that all boaters are familiar with.

Please help us remove these arbitrary limits by visiting:
www.sbonh.org to sign our petition.
This is a different petition that what was circulated a year ago so please revisit the site to help our cause.
We only have one month to gain as many signatures as possible and return personal freedom to boaters in New Hampshire. These restrictions must be stopped before they spread to other states and affect ALL boaters!

Done.

done! (worked for me!)

I got the same kickback email that damdonzi got...

Scott - anything from your end that suggests why?

Done, good luck

Morry

I wish I could support your efforts but I live in Ontario Canada.

Done.

Done

Strange.. worked for me too.. Sorry... Been getting a lot of good responses from Reps. Please spread the word! They realize this is not only a state issue but a economic tourism issue. If you don't bring your boat to the lake, your $ goes elsewhere!

Done

Done and Good Luck!
Jeff

Done.

Done, best of luck

FYI - If you get an "error" message back after filling out the petition, more than likely it went through anyway as I just got an email back from one of the reps. :D

Done! Lot's of out of office replys!

FYI:

Hello,

Your group's messages on this bill are jamming my mailbox and interfering with the conduct of my business. Please stop immediately.

I support the bill, but may reconsider that if you all don't stop.

Thank you!

my response:

My apologies, Marie. This bill is extremely important to those of us that use New Hampshire waterways. It is not our intent to interfere or cause trouble. I will pass this along to the group.

Regards,

David Clark

Thanks to all of you outside of the Winnipesaukee area for helping to support this bill.................it is really appreciated!

Done!

Isn't the state motto "Live Free or Die"

Not so free now.

Just got this.


Subject: RE: Please support SB 27


I plan to vote in favor of this bill when it comes before the House.

Thank you for reaching out and for your efforts!

Rep. Cameron DeJong
State Representative

Representing Manchester Ward 2

I have been getting all sorts of responses! We must be getting through. I'm somewhat suprised they are taking the time to actually respond. I've been back and fourth with 3 of them 2 or 3 times now...

Thanks David.. I don't know why a Rep. would use their work email for Legislative business but I have passed it along to have her removed.

I also have fielded many emails, most all are already in support of us. Some wanted more information and I spoke with them.

I would say only 2 or 3 have said they were voting Nay after I had reached out.

Thank you all.

Also guys if you want to continue to help and stay updated

Go to www.sbonh.org and join our forums.. We need all the help we can get!

Done! Thank you for the updates.

Another response...

I'm not sure I would like to open up the lake to unrestricted speed limits. I did break with my party last year and offered a compromise Western Lakes style "Go Fast" zone in The Broads. This area would have been declared without speed limits during day light hours. This was shot down. Maybe this compromise position should be considered by both sides?

Got this response.

"Dear Mr. Anselmi, Thank you for your concerns with SB27. I have not read through this Bill yet, as it is still in the Senate and it has not been given to the House as of yet. When it does come up for a House vote, I will hear the testimony and vote accordingly. Thank you for your concerns and please contact me in the future if you have any questions or concerns.

Respectfully,
Rep. Lenette M. Peterson

Merrimack, NH"

we are really starting to gain momentum. 125 in 8 hours... Our goal is 2000 this month.. Please spread the word guys!

I appreciate your concern regarding SB27.

Please know that I am a co-sponsor of this bill.

Representative Guy Comtois

I have also feilded a couple of questions. Most of the stuff I got back so far was "canned" responses. Lets hope that they start to understand that we are not that unreasonable. I would be in favor if limiting speeds on parts of the lake if they left the Broads alone. I think that is a decent compromise really. The rest of the lake is ussually to crowded to run at speed anyhow.

You have my support . I'm the vacationer that comes down once a year . What a great lake to boat . Don't let them take away a treasure .

Paul

good she sounds like she is on a power trip:angry-smiley-038::angry-smiley-038::angry-smiley-038:, oh we sent a few emails friends of mine . but the count is only 375??? come on guys lets get her done. art

Done! Live Free Or Die

And another...


I would have to disagree with you on SB 27 , It is in Committee but it looks like, by its text there is nothing defined in it for speed. What you might think is a reasonable speed is may not be what I think is reasonable. I could not vote for this the way it is written.

Thank you for contacting me regarding Senate Bill 27, which replaces the speed limit for Lake Winnipesaukee with a general limit for all vessels and modifies the penalties for boating violations.
Currently SB27 has been referred to the Transportation Committee where a hearing date has not been set. As a member of this committee I will be examining the bill very closely and I appreciate you taking the time to contact me.

As a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, I have supported boating speed limits on Lake Winnipesaukee in the past.
I am very much looking forward to hearing testimony on this bill and I will be sure to keep your concerns in mind as it comes to the Senate floor for a vote.

Thank you again for contacting me, and please feel free to contact me if you have any other State issues or legislation I can assist you with.

Sincerely,
Nancy Stiles
NH Senate - District 24

I got this rude response in with the other reponses....
