It was a beautiful idea: “liberty.”

249 years ago, Thomas Jefferson and our forefathers dedicated our country’s mission to that purpose.

Along the way, however, our general government changed. 

At the Constitutional Convention several years later, the nationalists and the federalists fought over what form of general government was to rule us.

For more than a decade, the Porcupine Freedom Festival has rallied around the “Free Ross” cause.

As the Granite Cradle of Crypto, the Free State of New Hampshire was home to the earliest pioneers and evangelists for Bitcoin — seeing its potential as an emerging technology to challenge fiat currencies controlled by central banks.

“This [Free State] movement continues to recruit people from all over the country to move to New Hampshire in order to create a stronghold for libertarian ideas: a ‘free society’ with limited government, self-reliance, and free markets.

Let’s cut right to the chase.

This Friday, May 16, marks exactly one month until the start of our 22nd annual Porcupine Freedom Festival (June 16-22).

As we approach the 250th anniversary of 1776, only in New Hampshire do the spirit and ideas of our American revolution still animate state governance.

That is due (in no small part) to the libertarian concentration strategy providing reinforcements to bolster New Hampshire’s native libertarian culture and the remembrance paid our revolutionary history — like the Pine Tree Riot of 1772 in Weare, NH.

We’ve been passed the torch by those who came before us, and it is our responsibility to tend the flame and keep it burning.

Mr. Pappas and his progressive allies want the Granite State to progress away from its historic values of freedom, in the same manner every other New England state has been captured by their suicidal ideology.

Meanwhile, the change Free Staters bring is a restoration of those libertarian values hearkening back the Pine Tree Riot, which kicked off the American Revolution and established New Hampshire independence.

Focused on my own work, I was not actively eavesdropping, but… we overheard them complaining about all the Free Staters moving into the area!

On Sunday, February 2, we are celebrating Porcupine Day IX in Manchester at the Rugged Axe — and you are invited to join us.
