Between February 22 and 25, 2007, Concord, NH saw upwards of 366 people attend the first annual "Liberty Forum", at the Concord Holiday Inn.

With featured guests each day and night, informative conversations by people knowledgable on politics, gun rights, education, monetary policy, and political philosophy, the Forum attracted people from as far away as Holland and California, and many Conspirators were there as well.

We would like to congratulate the people who helped put this wonderful event together, and wish them great success for the next Forum! The event will undoubtedly attract even more people from the Free State Project to move to NH, and we couldn't be happier about it!

Al Gore has won a little metal statue from a bunch of self-righteous leftists.

Thought you'd want to know.

Had something to do with a bogus "hockey stick".

As many Conspirators know, things have become very busy for Gardner Goldsmith and many of those devoted to liberty in NH. Over the past two days, Gard has been named a Director of the NH Advantage Coaliton (found here: http://www.thenhadvantage.com/). Their first press conference of 2007 was Tuesday, in Concord, where they laid out the picture for NH if something is not done to refute the court in its unsupportable, and unsupported, education funding rulings going back to 1993.

Last night, Gard and his new compatriot, Tammy Simmons, of the NHAC, attended one of the sham "adqeuacy forums" put together by the Governor and some state reps. This was a meeting that gathered in Manchester, and the state legislators and senators who attended got an earful from citizens who actually recognize the impossibility of objectively defining something (an "adequate" education) which is by its nature, subjective. In addition, Gard pointed out that the panel claimed its charge was to hear from citizens about what was a "CONSTITUTIONALLY adequate education." The only trouble for them is that there is no such term written in the NH Constitution.

As noted in our earlier post, the NH Advantage Coalition will be presenting the first in its press conferences to stress the importance that the legislature NOT amend the NH Constitution, and instead, that it rebuff the Court for its patently political and unconstitutional education funding rulings, going back to "Claremont I" in 1993.

Please join the crowd on Tuesday!!!

The text of their press release follows:

"The members of the New Hampshire Advantage Coalition, a bi-partisan, NH-based organization formed to preserve the economic and political blessings that make the state an attractive place to live and work, announced today the start of a new initiative to protect the people of the state from judicial activism and economic ruin.

As many Conspirators know, the pernicious idea to force towns to keep kids in school until they are 18 has been a pet project of the adored Gov. John Lynch for over a year. Not only is this idea unpractical, it is anti-constitutional, breaching Section One, Article Six of the NH Constitution.

Rich Kahn, the Libertarian candidate for governor in 2006, has sounded the alarm about this. Here is some of what he had to say:

" We have a major issue facing the state of New Hampshire, that is, there is a bill pending before the NH Senate Education Committee which, if passed and signed by the governor, would raise NH's compulsory school attendance age from 16 to 18. This is a hot-button issue for the governor and he would like to see it passed.

Employing once more his tired old phrase that there are "no new taxes" in his proposed budget, John Lynch this week introduced a fiscal plan that looks more like a carnival mystic's prediction of the future. Increasing the cigarette tax once more, he says he is avoiding "new taxes", which is his way of semantically trying to fool people that there aren't any increases in the tax burden on citizens in NH. Bogus? Uh, yeah! If you had taxes of "X" on something, and then the taxes became "X+Y", "Y" would be considered what? Nothing? It's a tax, and it's new. Ahh, but you see since it's not a new CATEGORY of tax, it's not a new tax!

A House panel is recommending the repeal of the so-called "parental notification" law for minor females who desire abortions.

This law has brought about great disagreement, and was the subject of a lawsuit that went all the way to the US Supreme Court.

The interesting thing to note here is that many of the Reps and Senators who oppose notification of parents prior to an abortion performed on a minor are IN FAVOR of parental CONSENT prior to sixteen-year-olds going to tanning salons. Differing standards? Sure!

Here is the piece from the UL. Please note that Governor Lynch, who is quite animated about protecting children from sexual predators, supports repeal of the notification law...

Yesssssss. You read right, Al "the Saint" Gore, is scheduling a world-wide concert to raise awareness about Global Warming, or as Tom Brokaw would say, "Grrrrroble Warnnningggggg, Gardner!".

But these bands, don't they sing songs with explicit lyrics? And wasn't that deemed DANGEROUS by Al and Tipper in the later Eighties? And will all these bands be playing acoustic guitars? Otherwise, they'll use ENERGY! Will it all be provided with solar cells? And if so, what will be used to MAKE the SOLAR cells? One needs metal, plastic, and rubber... and... Hmmm... Forget the POWER for the concerts, and the satellite use to get them up there, what about the WOOD of even the acoustic guitars?!! NOOOOOOO! This concert could DESTROY THE WOORRRRLD! First you have these EVIL bands playing and then you have their instruments, and then you have the media through which the music will be transmitted, and then... OH NO!

Taking a close look at Hillary’s economic ideas, by listening to her words, and looking back as history.

Oh, and Al Franken announced a run for Senate. That’s in the category of the “who’d have THUNK it?!”

Shocked, huh?

Remember, when we say "beautiful", we mean internal beauty, not physical beauty. Use of such a term might be interpreted by some as a dig against Senator Clinton's physical appearance, when it is not. In fact, by even bringing this up, some might think we are implying that Senator Clinton is not physically attractive. Jeesh, this is tricky stuff!

Anyway, Hillary was recently praised in many states for her announcement to Democrats that there needed to be a broad domestic-economic change in the US. The "partnership" between the government and "working Americans" needs to be reestablished.

As we Conspirators have warned, NH Gov. John Lynch and the leftist Democrats and Republicans in the NH legislature have been very pleased that very few people are aware of what the NH Constitution actually says. With this prevailing ignorance to shield them, and a patently unconstitutional series of NH Supreme Court rulings to back them up, Lynch and his gang have concocted a formula to objectively define what is by its nature a subjective term: "adequate education".

Not only does this break Section One, Article Six, of the NH Constitution, which stipulates that the towns are granted the full power to contract with their education professionals, it assumes as correct the idea that the Judicial Branch can dictate to the legislative Branch how it should write laws.

For those who have followed the double-speak and subtle manipulation of the press that John McCain has exhibited for many years, this comes as no shock. But many think Senator Straight Talk is a paragon of virtue.

Here is the start of the report from the "Washington Post", for your perusal:

"McCain Taps Cash He Sought To Limit
Onetime Reformer Calls on Big Donors"

By John Solomon
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, February 11, 2007; Page A01

Just about a year and a half ago, Sen. John McCain went to court to try to curtail the influence of a group to which A. Jerrold Perenchio gave $9 million, saying it was trying to "evade and violate" new campaign laws with voter ads ahead of the midterm elections.

Has anyone noticed that on the VERY SAME day House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D - CA) testified before a Congressional Committee about "America's need" to use less oil and to stop "man-made global warming", she was embroiled in a battle with the Pentagon about her desire to get a 757 jet to fly her non-stop to and from Oakland? As noted here earlier, this plane would spew 10,000 pounds more CO2 into the air with each trip than if she were to use the kind of plane Denny Hastert used when he was Speaker.

Why these politicians aren't forced to buy their own air tickets, one may never know. But at least this episode with the Pelosi Plane has brought to light her towering hypocrisy on the issue of just WHO has to comply with political schemes to "save the environment".
