Occupy NH members elected to NH House (http://miscellanyblue.com/post/36619638351)
November 26, 2012
Promising to counter the influence of Free State Project lawmakers, a ”handful” of Occupy New Hampshire members have been elected to the New Hampshire House. The group celebrated their electoral success on Facebook:
We aren’t going to reveal names, they can if they want. But we have 4 or 5 people who were very involved Occupiers (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=378769335542477&set=a.170591206360292.45216.168001989952547&type=1), and another handful who were part of the network—either already Reps or newly elected. We got juice—or maybe just a little pulp.
One Occupy member who has gone public with his association is Tim Smith (http://needvsgreed.com/wordpress/), a Manchester Democrat who was the leading vote-getter in Hillsborough District 17. Smith expressed interest in forming an Occupy caucus for like-minded House members as a “counterbalance” to libertarians in the Republican Liberty Caucus, a group closely associated with the Free State Project.
Earlier this year, there was a public split (http://freekeene.com/2012/07/23/has-there-really-been-a-schism-in-occupy-new-hampshire-over-the-free-state-project/) in the Occupy New Hampshire movement between progressives and Free State Project members. Occupy leaders pointed to Free Stater support for deep budget cuts and anti-union legislation as being antithetical to the core Occupy message of social justice and economic equality.
