New Hampshire House votes to defy Federal ID

Libertarians in New Hampshire are celebrating after the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted 270-84 to refuse cooperation
with the hated "Real ID" act.   Real ID is a Federal mandate which attempts to force states into a standardized drivers license system at taxpayer expense.  Freedom advocates argue it would be at the expense of privacy as well.

"Give me liberty or give me death," said State Rep Neal Kurk, speaking in favor of the bill on the House floor.  The chamber roared with applause.

House Bill 1582 forbids all state agencies from participation in Real ID mandates, and asserts that Real ID "is contrary and repugnant to Articles 1 through 10 of the New Hampshire constitution..."   

The lopsided anti-Federal vote was a shock even to proponents of the bill.   Real ID passed the U.S. Senate 100-0 last year and generated little debate.   But as states like New Hampshire have taken a closer look at what it will require of them, liberty activists and local government officials have been teaming up to draw a line in the sand between Washington and their own states.

New Hampshire in particular has become increasingly restive since 2003, when it became a migratory destination for "Free Staters," libertarian activists who move into the state to fight for freedom.

HB 1582 next goes to the New Hampshire Senate; if it passes there it will have to be signed by the Governor.

Thank god for having access to a wider range of information than what you guys tell us is important.

I don't even agree many times with Colbert's positions, but it is an example of American spunk to spit in the eye of want to be tyrants.

NH: Free Staters kill proposed smoking ban

Acting nearly alone against the American Cancer Society and a massive juggernaut of established lobby groups, a few dozen Free State Project members have managed to preserve New Hampshire's hands-off approach to smoking in bars and restaurants.   N.H. is currently the only state in New England which allows consumers and businesses to make the "smoking decision" for themselves, and last month's vote assures that the market - rather than state regs - will determine smoking policies in 2007.

While Free Staters have been on the winning side of many lobbying efforts in Concord, this victory for property rights is significant, because it's virtually certain things would have gone the other way were it not for the Free Stater immigration.

Since the Free State Project targeted New Hampshire for libertarian migration in 2003, about 150 hardcore freedom activists have trickled into the state, aiming to preserve its Live Free or Die culture and roll back government there to a third of its present size.  Aided by the state's predisposition toward liberty and their own relentless involvement, these incoming activists had already achieved an impact completely out of proportion to their numbers.

But past Free Stater victories involved alliances with other groups such as gun rights organizations and homeschoolers.  This is the first they have won on their own, with only the pro-liberty legislators as allies.   

And it was a close fought battle.   With the rest of New England now under the thrall of smoking bans, many of the state's traditional ban opponents (such as restaurant and bar owners) switched sides, leaving the novice liberty activists holding the line nearly unassisted.  Libertarian volunteer-lobbyists were outnumbered about three to one in the hallways and hearing rooms, losing on this issue in the House of Representatives, lacking support from the governor and winning in the Senate by only a single vote.  To become law, a New Hampshire bill must pass all three elected branches. 

Narrow or not, the victory changes the course of New Hampshire history a bit, and for the first time ever, Free Staters can say they did it virtually alone.

Not all of them, and not because they are white. Most of the people I dislike are white.
