John Stephen backs NH Liberty Alliance but not its pot decrim platform.

MANCHESTER – John Stephen, front-running Republican candidate for governor, said he doesn't agree on every position of the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance, but he was happy to attend the organization's seventh annual Liberty Dinner last night at The Chateau on Hanover Street.

Stephen said he doesn't agree with the NHLA's support of legalizing the use of medical marijuana, but shares the belief in limited government and fewer taxes.

"We don't see eye to eye on everything," Stephen said, "but here's what I like about these people: It's not about being Republican, it's about standing up. They've been able to pass bills. Their voices are being heard, and their voices need to be heard."

NHLA Chairman Mark Warden said the organization has grown about 10 percent every year to its current membership of 1,500 people. Warden said the principles of the NHLA -- less government, fewer taxes, a free market system and more individual freedom -- form a nonpartisan platform with aspects that appeal to Republicans, Democrats and independents.

"It says people are really upset with what government has done to them," Warden said. "Enough is enough. This is the Live Free or Die state. They should leave us alone."

About 150 people attended last night, and that was enough to rate as a must-attend event for several politicians. In addition to Stephen, Senate candidates Ovide Lamontagne and Jim Bender and congressional hopefuls Bob Giuda and Frank Guinta were there. All are Republicans.

The NHLA also released its annual Liberty Rating, a report card rating the voting history of state senators and representatives and the bills they passed. While the NHLA stresses its stance as being nonpartisan, the bulk of its support has landed on one side of the aisle.

Eight members of the House received high grades of A. All are Republicans. Four received low grades of D-. All are Democrats.

Marks for state senators were a bit more bunched, with all scores in the B and C ranges. Besti DeVries of Manchester earned a C, an upgrade from last year's mark of CT -- constitutional threat. Warden said CT grades are given to legislators who vote for bills that violate the state constitution.

Carol McGuire, state representative from Epsom who was among those getting an A, was named the NHLA Legislator of the Year for "her unwavering support of liberty." Warden said McGuire is one of 20 to 30 legislators who are members of the NHLA.

McGuire said her colleagues in the House are taking notice of the NHLA influence.

"The Liberty Alliance members are consistently effective in committee," McGuire said. "They do their homework."

posted two comments to the UL article including this one:

>>Here's a link to the report card mentioned in this article.  The Liberty Alliance issues one for every state lawmaker here.  The more they vote against big government, the higher their grade.

I tried a new way of spreading the freedom message, or at least a new medium today...
A radio show out of Laconia on 1530 a.m.  ...broadcasts live call-in 9a-10a weekdays , I couldn't get the signal so I listened to an archive and called in about something they had discussed there, the Spanish Civil War.  They kept me on so long I was able to gracefully bring up free talk live, the tragedy of the commons and the Liberty Alliance.

more info about radio shows is on the nh liberty calendar you can find at http://RidleyReport.com/calendars

Ridley Report launches podcast

http://RidleyReport.PodoMatic.com

The Ridley Report's newly launched podcast mimics YouTube.com/RidleyReport in format.  But it's different content, is audio-only, is easily downloaded to your i-pod, and none of the paid advertisers are airing there at present.   They have agreements to be on the YouTube channel, and there is where they will be unless they want otherwise.

Though it will probably promote Free Talk Live at least as a recurring news item, and will always be dwarfed by this robust thow, the podcast is designed to fill a few niches that are different from FTL's:

1) Almost completely New Hampshire centric (though still of general interest to liberty lovers elsewhere).
2) No loud music.
3 A fair amount of recording at events / on scene
4) Bite-sized files, seven to twenty minutes.   This will be nice for folks who have i-pods that can't fast-forward or rewind within the file.  If you lose your place or get bored with a file, you just skip to the next and don't miss much.  Also it allows you to be more choosy what subjects you listen to.

I've learned after much experience I can only post 1 YouTube vid per day without suffering from the law of diminishing returns.   My hits have actually gone up since I started mostly limiting myself to one a day.  This I did as a result of an advertiser shortage but I noticed the strange spike in hits that came with the cutback.  Anyway I can produce a lot more content than one vid per day and if I can't use YouTube for it, why not a podcast?  I will likely still produce extra videos in emergencies, time-sensitive situations and also situations where some commitment to advertisers may have come into play.

But in any event if I'm only airing one vid a day, that frees up some time.  For now I'm filling that time with podcast creation.
