LACONIA — The most recent of repeated calls to try President Barack Obama for treason by Harry Accornero, a Republican member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives from Laconia, has attracted nationwide attention.
This week Accornero e-mailed "an open letter to all members of Congress, which was also sent to the 424 members of the N.H. Legislature and published, like his earlier letters on the same subject, in The Daily Sun. The online Huffington Post reported on the content of the letter and suddenly Accornero became a darling among conservative organizations and bloggers.
"It wasn't an easy choice," Accornero said yesterday. "I thought about it a long time. I haven't got any political aspirations. I'm not looking for publicity," he insisted. "I just had to do what I feel is right."
Accornero charged that Obama has given "aid and comfort to the enemy" by allowing illegal immigrants from any country to enter the United States, obtain work permits and receive public services while refusing to jail or deport them when they are apprehended by law enforcement agencies. He claimed that "Barack Hussein Obama has crossed the line" and is "attempting to overthrow our government from within."
Calling Obama "a fraudulent president who is selling out America," Accornero urged "members of Congress to finally do your constitutional duty and hold Barack Hussein Obama accountable for his crimes against America."
In fact, Accornero began levelling charges of treason against Obama in letters to the newspaper months ago and began drawing attention from ultra-conservative groups like America's Party, BirtherReport and the Patriots Union after speaking to the issue on "The Advocates," the talk radio program hosted by conservative activist Niel Young and broadcast on WEZS-AM.
Accornero said that the Veteran Defenders of America, a group sponsoring a rally in Washington on November 11 to call for Obama to resign or be impeached, and the Patriot News contacted him about his letters and asked if they could circulate them to other state legislatures.
"I disagree with Obama on a lot of issues," said Accornero with uncharacteristic understatement. He claimed that the president was not only letting terrorists cross the borders but also supplying them with firearms, sending their children to school and providing their families with benefits.
"Immigration is only part of it," Accornero said. "He's given $3-million to China to teach their kids to speak English and money to Pakistan and Iran. These are people who want to destroy us," he declared.
Accornero said that Obama has bypassed Congress to put American armed forces in harm's way overseas. "And what about states rights?" he asked. "That's in our Constitution."
As examples he said that Obama gave federal funds to Planned Parenthood to provide family planning services in New Hampshire after the Executive Council cancelled the state's contract with the organization and claimed that he prevented Boeing from opening a factory in South Carolina because it is a "right-to-work" state.
"You could go on and on," Accornero said. "I believe these are treasonous acts."
Accornero said that he has heard from like-minded people from across the country.
"It's sad that a little state representative from Laconia gets all this publicity," he reflected. "I guess they were looking for someone to stand up for what they've been saying for a long time."
He remarked that he had also heard from others who did not share his opinion of the president. "I never knew women could use that kind of language," he said. "There were words I didn't even know."
Accornero conceded "I will be surprised to hear from Congress, but the ball is in their court."
Recognizing that Accornero, like other Republican representatives before him, drew unwelcome attention to the GOP majority in the N.H. House, Majority Leader D. J. Bettencourt promptly issued a formal statement saying, "This really has nothing to do with the agenda that we are currently working on in the New Hampshire House. While I respect how passionate my colleague from Laconia may be on this matter," he continued, "the best way to handle the problem of what President Obama has done to this country is by electing a new president in 2012 and we are working extremely hard toward that end."

Interesting, but where was this guy when W. was doing the same thing? And did he want Perry indicted too, for giving in state tutition to illegals at Texas Universities? ::) Principle isn't principle if it doesn't cross party lines. Methinks I smell a hypocrite who wants some ink.

Like alot of us, under Bush Henry had a JOB.
And since he is in the NH state legislature now he doesn't much give a crap what Perry did in Texas.
Unlike the Federal Govt, Texas does not effect the rest of us.
