[Bill Henderson]

I will sign and promise to champion some of your causes in my campaign for Congress.

[Kat Kanning]

i've signed it now

I don't see your name on it.

Was there an email verification thing?  I don't remember now.

[Pat McCotter]

Yes, there is an e-mail confirm.

[Pat McCotter]

There is also an option to not show your name in the list.

Also Cal Pratt had one today.
Another was about Souter, another was about the Beverage tax, and another was about Bush and Google.

There are many 'friends' in NH.

[Pat McCotter]

And the Concord Monitor is printing them!

Some good LTEs in the paper today:

NH really was the right state wasn't it?

My first LTE got published, in the Concord Monitor so far. My uncle called and asked if it was me who had written it, apparently his coworker was raving about it and said that "we need more of this in NH!"

Cool!!

[Dreepa]

I read that and thought it was you... and then never checked again.

I think that about 40%LTE are lefties, 40% are righties and about 20% are 'libertarian anti big Gov'... that is way more then other places.  NH is great!

I sent this to my local paper, in response to this column:

http://www.texarkanagazette.com/articles/2006/02/12/local_news/opinion/opinions02.txt

To the editor,

I enjoyed the light-hearted opinion column on the FEMA trailers parked at the Hope airport ("What can be done with mobile homes?", Sunday, February 12, 2006).

The humorous suggestions were all good, but there was a serious point I'd like to address. The editor wrote, "A lot of the people who were displaced by the storms don?t want to live in trailers and think they deserve better. (They don?t; None of us deserves anything. We earn what we can, and sometimes lose it through no fault of our own. But we have no inalienable entitlements. Sometimes we are lucky and sometimes when disaster strikes the only choice is to rebuild and start over from scratch. That?s life.)"

Thank you for that. None of us is entitled to homes, to food, to clothing, to medicine and health care, nor to government stipends in our old age. No person has a right to claim what is someone else's, and anything that is provided by the government is paid for by your family, friends and neighbors.

Religious and social mores may obligate us to look after the poor, and to take care of the unfortunate people in life. These are good things. That does not give us free reign to force others to pay for our charitable acts. Give directly, and keep government out of it.

If you'd like to live in a state where the maximum role of government is the protection of life, liberty, and property, I invite you to read about the Free State Project, at http://www.freestateproject.org. As a "Free-Stater", I'll be moving to New Hampshire within the next two years. Taxes are lower in New Hampshire, incomes are higher, gun laws are less restrictive, and the government is smaller and more accountable. The state motto is "Life free or die". I encourage all liberty lovers to read about the project, and to join us.
