FSP News - June 2005

A new essay by Jason Sorens - Free New Hampshire: How Libertarians Can Win in the Marketplace of Ideas. Published in the May 2005 issue of the Yale Free Press

”While the suffocating nanny state continues to grow at the local and national levels, some places are even more socialistic than what passes for normal in 21st century America. …The solution for freedom lovers is obvious: Move to NH." From the June 10, 2005 essay by Bob Doyle, States to Avoid at LewRockwell.com
