New Changes, New Features, and a change in Content! Join my new subscriber chat
We're entering a new legislative year, and refining the focus of this publication and show. And don't forget to join our subscriber chat! A private space for us to converse and connect.
Changes
Today I’m announcing some changes to the newsletter and the podcast. I have historically focused on all things libertarian, and ranged from covering drama to interviewing candidates, getting into the weeds of the Libertarian Party’s inside baseball. Whatever crossed my mind at the time. However, it’s time to refine the focus.
For at least a little while, I’ll be taking the live show and this blog down a more explicit route. 1,253 bills have been submitted to The New Hampshire house of representatives for the coming year. Each of those bills will receive a public hearing, and each will receive a vote for disposition before the house in the coming session. There is a respected tradition among New Hampshire Liberty activists, of reviewing every bill and writing recommendations as to whether or not the bill furthers liberty, or reduces it.
For at least the next few months, The focus of the weekly show and blog will be reviews of these bills and discussion about how the legislative process can be used to promote liberty in the free state. We will take deep dives into the legislative process here in New Hampshire, and explore how libertarians are working to keep our state free, and setting an example for others elsewhere.
But that all starts tomorrow night with Election Coverage.
Free State New Years
Let’s be honest, libertarianism is the antithesis of political philosophy, rather a moral and ethical philosophy trying to play defense in the realm of politics. But alas, election night is our new years eve. Our bi-annual holiday celebration is where we gather to ring in the new legislative year and celebrate the growing influence of free staters and libertarians in the New Hampshire Legislature.
This year, I will be streaming live from our watch party, discussing results as they come in, sitting down guests from the party to give their input and perceptions, as well as having some guests join the stream remotely to provide commentary.
Join us live on YouTube at 8:30 pm to ring in the new legislature in style, and kick off the new focus of the show. Click here to find the YouTube Livestream
