October News from the 603

Guess what I heard every day while pitching the Free State Project at Libertopia in San Diego?

The Free State Project at Ten: Part Two (corrected 11/1/11)

In my first piece on the first ten years of the Free State Project, I offered a retrospective on how the Free State Project got started and how far it has come. While the strides that Porcupines have been making in New Hampshire have indeed been remarkable, we also need to think about how to secure and build upon those gains.

Fundraising Goal Met

Thank you to all the Porcupines and supporters who contributed to raise $1500 for the FSP to do great outreach and recruiting work at the Libertopia festival.

NH rejects "ObamaCare"

Two bills have recently become law in New Hampshire:

SB148 - "a resident of New Hampshire shall not be required to obtain, or be assessed a fee or fine for failure to obtain, health insurance coverage."
HB601 - NH has returned $666,000 in Federal funds for national healthcare implementation, with instructions to use the funds "for the purpose of reducing the federal budget deficit."

In addition, New Hampshire has established a commission that must approve any related new administrative rule changes, before any NH bureaucracy adopts such rules.
