In 2006, a Free-Stater was elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives. In 2008, he was joined by 3 more.
You may ask, "What have they done? What does it mean to have 4 libertarians elected to state office?" It's amazing to look at the list of bills sponsored by these initial four Free-Staters -- there's some great stuff here! And some of these bills even passed into law.

When a NH Supreme Court Judge decided in Grant vs. Barrington that voters could amend warrant articles from their original intent down to the mere words “To see…” his ruling provided that stripping these citizen-petitioned articles of any and all meaning was quite acceptable. Usually it is money items that voters seek to amend.
In an [...]

PRIOR TO CHRISTMAS, I SHARED THIS INFORMATION WITH REPUBLICAN INSIDERS AND PROMISED TO POST IT HERE EVENTUALLY. IN INCREASING THESE PROJECTIONS TO A 50 SEAT GAIN, I REALIZE I NEVER POSTED IT HERE TO BEGIN WITH. The back-up data remains much the same. The Rasmussen data has actually ticked up to nine points for the generic ballot and back [...]

Just this past week NH House Rep Jeff Goley refused to prohibit lobbyists from serving on a public agency or public body where the lobbyist gains from the activity of the public agency or body. He also refused to return revenue to the towns, and voted against returning the revenue sharing rules back to pre 2009 levels. That would be the rules before the state spent so much in two consecutive budgets that they had to screw the towns out of even more revenue to try and balance their bloated state budget.

What does this say about Rep Goley? That he is all in on spending without knowing how to pay for it, but all out when it comes to giving money back to the people who earned it.

I think I just found some of that violence Chaz is always talking about. But it comes from the left. We are not surprised. The left did the Obama-hitler posters and beat up a conservative black man. Most political violence comes from the left, so why not this?
The Climate Progrss Blog over at the Center for American Progress--a wildly left wing project--includes a comment where a poster asks "when the assassinations will begin" for the people who work for the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

Even though we are not associated with this group, they nevertheless had some powerful speakers at their recent event.
This video which starts with Angela McGlowan, is not embeddable. The caption is wrong -- Tea Parties started in 2007 with Ron Paul supporters.

Fellow member of New Hampshire Seacoast Liberty, Jack Thorsen wrote a great opinion piece entitled “Americans are quite capable of self-governing” over here. Here’s a brief excerpt:
The American people are fed up with paternalistic over-reaching government, and we are starting to shout, “Enough is enough!” Freedom is the unifying factor missing from today’s divisive political dialogue.

The House vote on HB1654 this week, to [..."prohibit(s) the carrying of firearms or other deadly weapons into the state house or legislative office building. Violations are a class B felony"] gives us a snapshot of the legislators most inclined to deny you your second amendment rights.
The vote to ITL the bill resulted in 35 Nays, all liberty-denires, I mean left-wing democrats. Pardon me. There were 34 democrats and one former democrat, pretending to be a republican, who insists he's probably more of an independent; Tony Di Fruscia.
