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.
http://freestateproject.org/news/media_archive/0198.jsp
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.

Seem like they are going to be the converse of what usually happens... join a bunch of committees, get hyperactive, and make changes. Good for them.

An Inefficiency Committee? Does it study how to become more inefficient?

I hope they take the ball and run with it. Gov. Benson seems rather motivated and with some able bodied support maybe there'll be more than the usual lip service some political individuals give to smaller government.
If some changes happen and people realize they aren't just at the mercy of the latest political fashions, we could have some real grassroots motivation take off to make large changes in government. The trick is getting enough of the right people in one area. I hope the Free State Project succeeds. (CA isn't becoming a haven for freedom lovers anytime soon LOL ;)

This was your idea, no doubt. LOL

but notice the post says "ONE of the governor's inefficiency committees". maybe the freestaters could begin by reducing the number of inefficiency committees. i mean, how many do you need?
in new york we have really inefficient government. maybe we could teach those amateurs in NH a thing or two about inefficient government!

Somehow I get the impression that this isn't nearly as big a deal as it's being portrayed.

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."

Congrats Staters! I knew NH was your place!
To: Moonman62
It isn't and the people of N.H. aren't going to allow a bunch of pro-dopers to take over the state. :-)
To: ETERNAL WARMING

To: nopardons
Anyone asked NH what they think of that carpetbagging?

Congrats Staters! I knew NH was your place! And everyone in the other 49 states is thrilled... and relieved.

Well, since they've long ago been invaded by the bloody LIBERALS from Mass.,I doubt that the REAL New Hampshirites are going to view the crazy Libertarians and differently;which is to say, not kindly.
To: Cultural Jihad
The FSP won't be able to succeed unless they can persuade a huge number of native New Hampshire residents.
But I'm guessing the "right" even one authoritarian numbskull to decide what happens in everyone else's house trumps the right of the majority to repeal laws they don't like.
