2008 Liberty Rating. for the New Hampshire House and Senate

Transcription

1 2008 Liberty Rating for the New Hampshire House and Senate This is the 5th annual Liberty Rating issued by the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance, based on 19 roll call votes in the House and 14 in the Senate. Bills have been carefully selected for inclusion which clearly demonstrate the level of respect our elected representatives show for our individual rights and liberties. This year we offer our sincerest thanks to the NHLA Legislator of the Year, the Honorable Representative Jason Bedrick of Windham for his unwavering support of liberty. His voting record proves his dedication to the principles upon which this great state, as well as this organization, were founded. The Liberty Rating is based on pro-liberty and anti-liberty votes and their impact on the state of NH. Pro-liberty votes protect individual freedom of choice and personal responsibility, recognize the superiority of freedom over coercion, respect the citizen's right of self-ownership, promote good government, and recognize the value of voluntary economic decisions. Anti-liberty votes replace self-governance with interventionist ownership, assume agencies backed by force are superior to voluntary choices backed by personal accountability, and assume a better economy can be designed by a central authority that compels communities to pay for policies people do not willingly support. The Liberty Rating is the result of hundreds of hours of work by many volunteers who read and analyzed bills, testified before committees, called and wrote their representatives, created spreadsheets and numerous other tasks. We encourage every NH citizen to learn the facts about exactly how their elected representatives are voting in Concord and to use this tool when these same reps are running for re-election in While this report card bears the seal of the NHLA board, it is the product of our members' commitment to liberty.
