๐ **Well, well, wellโฆ looks like we ruffled someone's feathers.**
And apparently, it's US. ๐โโ๏ธ
That's right. We're the *"far-left conspiracy group"* that New Hampshire Liberty Alliance Chairman Shawn Faber is so upset about.
But let's be fair, Shawn. **We never said the Free State Project and the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance were the same organization.**
We said they **OVERLAP.**
And that's an important distinction.
Let's revisit a little New Hampshire history, shall we?
๐ **In 2003, the Free State Project selected New Hampshire as its target state.** Why? Among other reasons, our enormous 400-member citizen legislature, lack of broad-based sales and income taxes, and strong tradition of local governance made New Hampshire particularly attractive to the movement.
The strategy was to encourage like-minded people to relocate here, get involved in their communities, and pursue political influence โ including through accessible local and state elections.
Interesting strategy, right?
Now, we're certainly not saying Shawn Faber is a Free Stater.
But it is worth noting that, according to the timeline we've seen, he moved to New Hampshire in 2021 and subsequently pursued political office without a prior record of holding elected office.
And here's another interesting detail: **Shawn Faber has also spoken at PorcFest โ the annual gathering associated with the Free State Project.**
Now, speaking at PorcFest doesn't automatically make someone a Free Stater. But it certainly makes the conversation about overlapping political circles a reasonable one.
Does any of this prove he's a Free Stater? **Of course not.**
Does it make questions about political alignment and shared priorities fair game? **Absolutely.**
But anywho, I digress. ๐
Here's the point, Shawn:
**Two organizations don't need to share a name, a board of directors, or an office to share political goals, ideological priorities, or political allies.**
That's what *overlap* means.
And when an organization issues nearly 150 political endorsements, voters have every right to ask what those endorsements represent, what policies those candidates support, and whose vision for New Hampshire they're advancing.
You can insist the organizations are separate until you're blue in the face.
**Separate doesn't necessarily mean unrelated.**
As always, we'll present the information.
**You can draw your own conclusions.** ๐
