It's not a fringe. It's not an invasion. It's a broad coalition of lifelong Granite Staters, Republican leaders, independent voters, and political refugees who chose New Hampshire because freedom still means something here.
Democrats want you to believe a small group of outsiders hijacked New Hampshire politics. The truth is far less convenient for them. The liberty movement in New Hampshire is a coalition as broad as the state itself: lifelong Granite Staters who never wanted big government, Republican leaders who have held the line on taxes for decades, independent voters who make up over 40% of the electorate, and yes, people who moved here because they believe in freedom.
New Hampshire has been fiercely independent since before the Revolution. We were the first colony to establish an independent government. We put "Live Free or Die" on our license plates. We've never had an income tax. This state didn't need to be taught freedom. It was born with it.
The Free State Project was founded in 2001, and New Hampshire was chosen as its home in 2003. Since then, over 6,000 people have moved to the state. But the movement is far bigger than the FSP. It includes hundreds of thousands of native-born Granite Staters who share the same values. The people who moved here didn't come to change New Hampshire. They came because New Hampshire was already what they believed in. This is a coalition, not an invasion.
These aren't extreme positions. They're the values that built the freest, most prosperous state in America.
No income tax. No sales tax. New Hampshire proves you can fund essential services without crushing families and businesses. Every dollar left in your pocket is a dollar the government didn't waste.
Your life is yours. The government's job is to protect your rights, not manage your choices. From what you eat to how you educate your children, the decision belongs to you.
New Hampshire's 400-member citizen legislature keeps power close to the people. Government should do fewer things and do them well. Every regulation is a restriction on someone's freedom.
Parents know their children better than bureaucrats. Universal school choice gives every family the power to find the right educational setting, whether that's public, private, charter, or home school.
Freedom and responsibility are inseparable. A free society depends on individuals who own their choices, support their communities, and don't expect government to solve every problem.
The Bill of Rights isn't a suggestion. The Second Amendment means what it says. The First Amendment protects speech you disagree with. Constitutional carry is constitutional government in action.
New Hampshire's fight for freedom didn't start yesterday. It started before there was a United States.
New Hampshire colonists in Weare violently resist the King's agents trying to seize white pine trees for the Royal Navy. One of the earliest acts of organized resistance to British authority — three years before Lexington and Concord.
New Hampshire adopts the first independent state constitution in America — six months before the Declaration of Independence. Self-governance is in our DNA.
General John Stark's words become the official state motto. Not a slogan — a promise. New Hampshire is the only state that means it literally.
Jason Sorens proposes concentrating liberty-minded Americans in a single state. Thousands sign up. They choose New Hampshire precisely because the culture of freedom was already here.
Participants vote. NH wins with 57% over Wyoming. No income tax, no sales tax, the nation's largest citizen legislature, and a fiercely independent culture made it the natural choice.
Cato Institute ranks New Hampshire #1 in overall freedom. The state will hold this position for 15 consecutive years and counting.
Democratic Governor Maggie Hassan vetoed constitutional carry in 2016. Republican Governor Chris Sununu signed it into law in 2017. Cannabis possession also decriminalized the same year.
Republicans create EFAs, giving families direct funding to choose the best school for their children. Democrats immediately try to kill the program.
The Interest & Dividends tax is fully eliminated. EFAs expanded to every family regardless of income. Governor Ayotte: "No income tax, no sales tax — ever."
Democrats propose a $2 billion income tax. Over 150 legislators carry A-rated liberty scores. 6,000+ freedom-loving Americans have moved here. The movement is the mainstream.
There's a reason people choose the Granite State. These are the foundations of our freedom.
400 state representatives -- the third-largest English-speaking legislative body on earth. Your neighbors are your legislators. They earn $100 a year. That's not a career. That's a duty.
Not now. Not ever. New Hampshire has refused to impose a broad-based income or sales tax for over 250 years. Your money is yours.
Over 40% of voters register as undeclared. New Hampshire voters don't follow party orders -- they think for themselves. That independence is our greatest strength.
Direct democracy at its purest. Citizens gather, debate, and vote on local budgets and policies. Power stays at the local level, where it belongs.
Top-tier median income. Rock-bottom unemployment. Lowest poverty rate in America. The free market isn't a theory in New Hampshire. It's a track record.
General John Stark's words from 1809 aren't just a slogan. They're a governing philosophy. New Hampshire chose these words because they mean them. Every policy, every vote, every session.
"Live Free or Die: Death is not the worst of evils."-- General John Stark, 1809
