Free Staters attain majority on NH governor's panel
Posted on 04/19/2004 8:54:12 PM PDT by Dada Orwell
Got this from the Concord Monitor...
Just six months after picking New Hampshire as the "Free State," and years before any of them are even required to move....members of the Free State Project have attained an overwhelming majority on one of the governor's inefficiency committees.

The FSP is a nationwide movement aimed at persuading 20,000 liberty lovers to move to New Hampshire, reinforce the feisty freedom movement there and reduce the size of government by two thirds.

I found South Carolina, for instance, the worst place I have lived for welcoming outsiders who have a regional accent. Ditto for Tennessee...the most exclusionary CHURCHES (for crying out loud) that I have seen anywhere. It snows in New Hampshire? That's news...I know how to ski.

You know the NH republicans welcomed the FSP with open arms....the democrats have been very hostile.
As a republican, who would you rather see moving en masse to your state...a bunch of socialists or a bunch of Libertarians?

I'm not sure if I'd want EITHER one. If I had to make a choice, I'd pick the Libertarians of course.

A State wherein the people will have no right to determine the kind of society they are to live in is not a "Free State" but a "Slave State."Only you, CJ. Only you.

We are not going to have smaller government unless the world changes drastically AND the American people change as well. These are pipe dreams based on misreading of American history.
Government grows through demands of War, the demands of the voters for more protection of rights and due to the complexity of modern life which makes society vulnerable to things unable to be addressed on a state or local basis.
We no longer live with the next family 20 miles away or the next nation months away.

Joining the party late but.....
About the time you were posting this, I was having dinner with a couple visiting Hawaii from New Hampshire. They are native "New Hampsters" whom we know from my wife's recent business visit to NH. Our initial contact and common ground was through the Free State Project. They welcome the FSP because they have seen the same thing happening to NH as has happened to Vermont and they believe that the FSP will help stave off the gradual liberal takeover of their state.

They'll wake up, when it's too late,if the silly Free Staters ever really " take over " N.H.;which is doubtful.
To: nopardons
if the silly Free StatersOther than issues dealing with drugs, what is it about the FSP that you find "sily? The disdain for gun laws? The goal to cut government by two thirds?
